Question

I’m not entire sure how to write this in VBA using a macro.

I have a single Workbook, Compare.xls. Two sheets in it, Sheet1 and Sheet2.

Basically I’m attempting to take:

Sheet1

Date    ID  Other   Sub     Chan
10000   100 Repeat  X       30  
10000   101 Repeat  X       40

Sheet2

ttc   event     Chan
XYZ   L         30
XYZ   L         40
XYZ   L         6

And from this data, I need to compare the Chan column from Sheet1, to a matching record Chan record in Sheet2, and output joined data from both sheets on to a new sheet.

Example output would be:

Date    ID  Other   Sub     Chan   ttc
10000   100 Repeat  X       30     xyz

Any suggestions on a snippet on how I can move forward?

Just noticed that you want to use VBA – not too sure why when this can be easily done with built in formulas?

Because you are sort of going backwards using a VLLOKUP might not be the best choice try using INDEX and MATCH …
