Hi

I am getting slightly stressed with myself over a stupid thing I was sure i
knew how to tackle and I am getting no where

I am having problems with VBA and macros
Please be patient with me whilst not being a virgin in Macros I am still at
the early learning stage

This is what I whish to achieve

On "Sheet1" I have two columns A & B in which there are names in A and
figures in B


The names come from a list called "Company" and the figure updated
automatically from another sheet


On a seperate sheet "sheet2" I have a column for each name in the "Company"


What I want to achieve is that each time a cell in column B of "Sheet1" is
updated that the amounted is copied into the next free cell of the column
with the name in column A on "Sheet1"

Also it would be nice if some kinf of check mark could be added onto the
cell on "Sheet1" so that I know it has been added to "Sheet2"
This could be as simple as changing colour or font or background


Any idea on how to do this would be greatly appreciated

Try this.

On Sheet2, B1

=IF(NOT(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!$A$1:$B$100,2,FALSE))),VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!$A$1
:$B$100,2,FALSE),"")

On Sheet1, do some conditional formatting, Format>Conditional Formatting,
set acondition of FormulaIs, and a formula of
=NOT(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$B$100,2,FALSE)))
and set a pattern colour
