Compare columns in two WBks and when match is found...

[DDawson]

Eliano and JLG Whiz both kindly contributed to the enclosed macro which
checks the value of each cell in column A of Targetdoc against the values in
Sourcedoc xlValues and when a match is found, it enters a textstring into the
corresponding cell in Column "I".

I originally used today's date as the text string, but since Sourcedoc has a
"Date Created" column, it makes sense to insert this value rather than a
textstring into the Targetdoc when the match is found.

How do check the value of each cell in Column A of Targetdoc against the
values in column A in Sourcedoc...
And when a match is found...
Enter the value of column B (of the found row), of Sourcedoc into...
Column I (of the checkvalue row), of Targetdoc?

Also, how do I amend the ninth line of the Macro so that ActiveSheet.Range
expands as more data is added?

Sub CheckData()
Dim c As Range
Dim findC As Variant

With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
End With

Windows("Report.xls").Activate '<-- My report
For Each c In ActiveSheet.Range("A2:A90")
If Not c Is Nothing Then
Windows("SourceDoc.xls").Activate '<-- My document to be checked
Set findC = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells _
.Find(c.Value, LookIn:=xlValues)

If Not findC Is Nothing Then

Windows("Report.xls").Activate
ActiveSheet.Range("I" & c.Row).Cells.Value = "20/02/2008"
End If
End If
Next
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End With
End Sub

Revised Code, adds a line to create last row variable and
replaces the row reference in original line nine with the
variable, creating a dynamic range.

Sub CheckData()
Dim c As Range
Dim findC As Variant
lastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUP).Row
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
End With
Windows("Report.xls").Activate '<-- My report
For Each c In ActiveSheet.Range("A2:A" & lastRow)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
Windows("SourceDoc.xls").Activate '<-- My document to be checked
Set findC = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells _
.Find(c.Value, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not findC Is Nothing Then
Windows("Report.xls").Activate
ActiveSheet.Range("I" & c.Row).Cells.Value = "20/02/2008"
End If
End If
Next
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End With
End Sub

The following snippet will search the source doc for the
value of each cell in column of the target document and
if a match is found, will copy column B value of source
doc to column I of the target doc on the same row as the
item being queried. Assuming Report.xls is the target
workbook and sheet1 is the active sheet in both
workbooks. It the assumtion is incorrect then change
accordingly. Also assumes there will be only one occurence
of any item in either workbook's sheet1.

Dim c As Range
Dim dt As Range
lastRow = Workbooks("Report.xls").Sheets(1) _
.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUP).Row
lstRow2 = Workbooks("SourceDoc.xls").Sheets(1) _
.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
fRng = Workbooks("Report.xls").Sheets(1)
sRng = Workbooks("SourceDoc.xls")
For Each c In fRng.Range("A2:A" & lastRow)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
For Each dt In sRng.Sheets(1).Range("A2:A" & lstRow2)
If Not dt Is Nothing Then
If dt.Value = c.Value Then
dt.Offset(0 1).Copy fRng.Range("I" & c.Row)
Exit For
End If
End If
Next
End If
Next

I did not know where you wanted to insert this, or if you wanted to
insert it, in the other code, so I will let you decide that. I did
not test it so if you get errors post back. Eliminate any duplicate
statements like Dim c and lastRow declarations when you insert.

I wanted to add the column value at the following location in the original
macro, but your second code works just fine.

ActiveSheet.Range("I" & c.Row).Cells.Value = "20/02/2008"

Many thanks
