Combining Information From Two Workbooks?

Jan 29, 2014

I have a workbook with two different tabs. On one tab, I have a spreadsheet that lists business names on first column, address # on second column, address street on third column.

On the second spreadsheet, I have address # on first column, address street on second column.

What I want to do is create a column before the first on the second spreadsheet, titled business names, and then have Excel find and match the address # and address names that are the same on the first and second workbook, and for those that are common, insert the business name into the new column on the second spreadsheet.

EX:

Spreadsheet 1 -
Joe's Pizza | 67 | Smith Street

I want it to find 67 Smith Street, and insert Joe's Pizza in second spreadsheet.

Merging Workbooks: So All The Information I Have About These Contacts Is In The Same Book

Jul 15, 2007

I have 2 books right now. Each book has 2 colums of data (See attached jpg.):

Book 1 has a column for "phone number" and another for "street"
Book 2 has a column for "phone number" and another for "house number"

I would like to merge these books together so that all the information I have about these contacts is in the same book. Column A will be the phone numbers, column B will be the street name, and column C will be the house number. As you can see by looking at book 2, I only have house numbers for some of the phone numbers in book 1. My goal here is to have book 2 "look at" book 1, and add any information book 1 does not have (such as house number) to the relevant row (the row where the phone numbers match). This new book will by my book 3. I've attached a jpg. with how book 1 looks, book 2 looks, and how I want book 3 to look.

Compare Strings In Two Workbooks

Jan 11, 2007

I have a workbook called Keyword that has two columns c,and d, of words.

The length of the columns can vary,because I add words to them.

I also have a workbook called testfile, and cell B1 has a word in it.

Testfile also has an .xla module that adds in when testfile is open.

I want to type a function called asset in cell C1 of Testfile,and have
it compare each word in Keyword workbook to the word that's in cell B1
of testfile. If a match is found in column C of Keyword, the function
returns the letter C. If match is found in col D of Keyword, it returns
the letter D. If no match, function returns "no match".

I have both workbooks open and the vba code I stuck at the bottom of
the .xla module as another function.

Here's my code so far.

Function asset(Description As Variant) As String 'arg. is the word in cell B1 in testfile

Dim LastRowOfC As Integer, LastRowOfD As Integer
Dim i As Integer

Compare Two Columns In Different Workbooks

Feb 15, 2012

I would like to have a macro or a function, which could compare two "A" columns in different workbooks. macro should run from the first one wb, which gonna have less data in a column than wb2. so, if, let's say, A3 in wb1 differs from A3 in wb2, an empty row should be added in wb1, and now we would jump and compare A4 in wb1 with A4 in wb2 and so on..

Compare And Show Changes Between Two Workbooks

Jun 16, 2012

Comparing two workbooks. At first the workbooks were quite stable and didn't have no new entries or deletion of old entries so I initially used vlookup to give me what I needed and later found some basic VBA on the internet which did what I required quicker.

The workbooks have now changed slightly where each month new deliverables are added and old ones are deleted. This results in the entries of the two workbooks not aligning in the same rows/cells therefore when I run the vba it highlights 90% of the workbook as its just comparing cells against each other.

Each entry within the workbook has a unique identification number so I can still use VLookup for these however this doesn't allow me to see the new deliverables which have been added of the old deliverables deleted.

Compare Worksheets From Two Workbooks

Dec 21, 2009

I have a master tracking document that I use to record project information. My client sends me an updated schedule each week which may (or may not) have additional stores on it and some of the details of the stores may have changed.

I need a macro to capture these changes from the source spreadsheet (the one the client sends) and update the master tracker. The master tracker has a lot of additional columns of data that I add in myself about each project so I don't want to lose this information. The macro needs to see if the store on the source sheet is already on the master tracker and if it is then it needs to check to see if any of the columns below have changed.

If the store isn't on the master tracker then it needs to be added. There are around 750 stores on the master tracker at the moment so to do it manually takes forever!

Master Spreadsheet

Column A - Retail Region
Column B - Project Name
Column C - Postcode
Column D - Net Selling Area
Column E - Project Manager
Column F - Contractor
Column I - Start On Site
Column J - Launch Date


Source Spreadsheet

Column C - Retail Region
Column D - Project Name
Column I - Postcode
Column J - Net Selling Area
Column M - Project Manager
Column N - Contractor
Column P - Start On Site
Column Q - Launch Date

Gather Information From Multiple Workbooks Into 1 Master Workbook / VLookup?

Dec 24, 2013

Is it possible to VLookUp Data between multiple workbooks (12 different workbooks to be exact) in one master sheet?

I would like the master sheet to find the empty data for the item number. Basically, how can I automatically populate the empty data for each item number in the master sheet. Every item will be different. The 12 workbooks are invoices throughout the year (Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, etc) and these workbooks have the data needed to fill the master sheet. How is this possible? Or is it not?

Master sheet.xlsx
-Contains item number
-Purchase Date
-Sell Date
-Purchase Price
-Sell Price
-Profit Price

The 12 workbooks are the 12 months out of the year, which are invoices.

- Contain the data needed in the master sheet such as sell date, sold price, and profit.

The reason I would like to keep the 12 invoices as workbooks instead of worksheets in 1 big file, is due to the high capacity of item numbers each monthly invoice would have. For example (approximately 500 items in each workbook)

I have for hours and weeks, actually months, But I haven't found any sources on the internet, although I have seen the VLook Up how to's on youtube between 2 workbooks, but not the 12 I would like.

Copy Information From Variable Workbooks To Master File Then Loop?

Apr 30, 2014

What I have is a master file that needs to pull info from other sources (a simple copy and paste)
those files are called Inventory_xxxx.xlsm . Inside the master file, there are cells with the number of the inventory.

What i need is a way to tell excel to check what number is in the cell, open the files with that number, get the info from the files and paste it back in the master file... and the part that i consider the trickiest, a way to loop it.

For example, lets say i have 2248 in cell A10, it should open Inventory_2248.xlsm copy the contents from cell N4, O4, P4, Q4, R4 and S4(Inventory File) into N10,R10,S10,T10 and U10 (Master file) respectively then in A11, there could be a 2250 so it should open the 2250 file get the info, paste it and so on.....

Now I don't even know if this is do-able or just impossible, been fiddling with various codes to no avail.

Compare Two Different Workbooks To Populate Values?

Dec 26, 2013

I have workbook 1 and workbook 2.

I need to lookup the value in workbook 2 in order to populate workbook 1.

If workbook 2 value = NA, then "" in Workbook 1

If Workbook 2 value > workbook 1 value, then Workbook 1 value

If workbook 2 < workbook 1, then Workbook 2 value.

Should be simple. Keep getting errors in formulas @if or @lookup.

It would be nice to know by worksheet within same workbook as well.

Compare And Copy Details Between 2 Workbooks

Dec 17, 2009

1. To compare two workbooks with exactly the same columns- Target and Source
2. The target workbook basically has more row items than the source since this is considered the masterlist.
3. The source worksheet's names and contact details are filled out by different sources but will still maintain the same columns.
4. The records of the source workbook must be transferred to the Target workbook reference to its appropriate IDs.
5. The record of source book may be updated and will be fed to the Target book but must not copy the record that is already present in the masterlist.

Below is the code I was working at


Public Sub CopyRecord()
Dim sRng As Range
Dim tRng As Range
Dim sCell As Range
Dim tCell As Range
Dim tLR As Long
Dim sLR As Long
Dim sCount As Long


'Find last row of target sheet
Workbooks(Target).Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
tLR = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count

'Find last row of source sheet
Workbooks(Source).Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
sLR = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count..........

Compare Two Workbooks And Copy Matching Row

Jul 23, 2013

I have two open workbooks, the first is called "Original Data.xls", the second "SIP.xls".The "Original Data" workbook contains a sheet called "Data" which has a list of information in the column range 'B:H', starting at row '4'.The "SIP" workbook contains a sheet called "Staff" which has a list of unique ID's in column B, starting at row 4.What I'd like to be able to do is compare the unique ID's in column 'B' of the "Data" sheet to that of the unique ID's in column B of the "Staff" sheet. NB.

There could be multiple records for the same unique ID in the "Data" sheet, but they will only occur once in the "Staff" sheet.If a match is found, I'd like to copy the row from the "Data" sheet and paste this to a sheet called "Matched", starting in B4, also contained in the "Original Data.xls" file.As each match is found I'd like to paste this into the next available line on the "Matched" sheet, and I would like, if at all possible, for the macro to continue checking for multiple entries until column 'B' in the "Data" sheet is blank.

Compare Workbooks And Extract Data

Jul 3, 2007

I have 2 workbooks containg about 600 names and the serial number of the computer they are using. One I keep so I know who has what machine. The other is created automatically by a service we subscribe to.
This workbook is loaded with errors. Machine costs being charged to the wrong people.

They both contain last name, first name and serial number. Although not in the same columns. With formulas, I have been able to take the serial number from the service.xls and find that serial number in the inventory.xls.

The ultimate goal is this:
Take serial number from service.xls and compare it to inventoryxls.
If it exist, put the first and last name of the user from inventory.xls onto the service.xls sheet.
If it does not exist, then put "does not exist"

Compare Data From 3 Workbooks Against 2 Files

Feb 15, 2010

For the past several days I have been attempting to write a macro, which in theory would check the values within a one- sheet workbook (we’ll call it run_list.xls) against the values in two different workbooks (we’ll call these production.xls, development.xls). However after several days I am nowhere closer to solving this problem then I was when I started. I’ve tried different scripts and variations of vlookup, but I have been unsuccessful in tailoring what I have found to meet my needs. So I feel it is time to lie down and scream for a medic.

Here’s some background on the workbooks. The sheets in all three workbooks are set up in the same manner. Cell “A1” contains time/ date, cell “A2” contains a lot#, cells “A3:A99” contain positioning data, and cells “B3:B99” contain serial numbers associated with tubes in the specific positions. The only differences between the workbooks are the sheets in production.xls and development.xls are labeled according to their specific lot number.

What I have been trying to do is to take a value from cell "B3"in run_list.xls and find where that value occurs in column B either of workbooks. When that value was found I wanted to copy cell "A2" from its sheet and paste that value in cell "D3" of run_list.xls. I had also wanted to repeat that those steps for every cell in column B containing a serial #. If a serial number was not found I wanted it to report “Not Found”. There are also times when instead of a serial number a phrase “No Trakmate” is listed. In these cases I had intended to skip these lines.

Also, since production.xls, development.xls are updated frequently their names are also updated with new version numbers ie. Production_v10.xls I had intended to allow the user to choose what files to search in but was unable to figure out how to add a second location.

Compare Sheets In 2 Different Workbooks And Note Changes

May 21, 2006

I've attached two separate workbooks that have indentical sheets in each. One workbook is a 2 day later update of the first. I'm trying to develop VBA code that will open both workbooks uses column B (work order #) as the unique identifier for each like sheet (which represent a month) and compares all other columns for that unique indentifier. Then I need to generate 3rd workbook that is identical in format (has a sheet for each month) and content to the two source ones but shows the unique identifier and any changes:

Column A (due date)
Column d (order quantity)

Also,if in the newer workbook(5_12_06) there exist a unique indentifier (work order #) that was not in the older workbook(5_10_06) and the same if there exits a unique indentifier in the older workbook that was removed in the newer workbook.

Compare And Merge Data From Two Different Workbooks

Apr 4, 2007

I'm sure that there is an excel function that can do this but darned if I can figure out which one it is. This is what I would like to do: I have two different workbooks. Each workbook has one worksheet that has two columns of data. The first column is a part number and the second column is a price. The first workbook holds my master data. Starting at the first column of the first row on the second workbook I wish to compare the part number held in that cell with the part numbers held in the first column of the first workbook. If there is a match then I want to take the associated price from the second workbook and place it in a cell to the right of the corresponding part number in the first book - actually in the first open cell in the third column. I wish to do this automatically via macro, or otherwise, for all part numbers in the second workbook. The macro will also need to recognize that some part numbers in the second workbook may not appear in the first workbook in which case that part number is skipped.

The end product is my first workbook that has been transformed from two columns of data to three columns of data - one part number and two price points although not all part numbers will have the two price points. If it helps I can copy the data in the second workbook and paste it in to a second worksheet in the first workbook and do all the work in the one workbook.

Compare Columns In Two Workbooks & Update One

Dec 15, 2007

I have two workbooks, one is reference (W1), other is the one that needs update(W2). I need macro that compares reference column in W1 with targeting column in W2, then for match cells update two or more cells in same with new data from reference cells in W1, and for end to report what data in W1 in reference column wasnt find in W2. I tend to use macro in reference book W1, and to update book W2 without opening, so I need this macro to work just with file manager from excel . No need for user modul for targeting columns, they are static in both woorkbooks. In practise in W1 is invoice prices with part numbers, at other one is the same, but with prices for distribution (with formulas), I want ti automaticly refresh part numbers with new prices, an to have report what part numbers are not in price list (W2)

Here is the scenario. I am running a business and each day I download my orders for the day. The information includes customer names and addresses. The customer name is for example in column E. We will call this "Book1".

I have a second workbook that I use to store bad customer information. i.e. customers that I do not wish to sell to. The information stored here is customer name and address e.g. column A - customer name, column B - 1st line of address etc. This will be "Book2".

I wish to programmatically be able to compare customer names in column E Book1 to the customer names stored in column A Book2. Any matches found should highlight the rows (i.e. orders) in Book1.

I have tried to make this clear as possible. I want to be able to do this as a macro hence programmatically so when I click a button this comparison/highlighting takes place.

Compare Two Workbooks And Copy Unmatched Data

May 15, 2007

I have two workbooks: one is a daily workbook that will be used to keep track of work accomplished, the other is a weekly report that is generated by head office.

What I need to do each week when the head office report is generated is to match up the Project ID's (they are the constant in each workbook) from the daily workbook with the weekly one. If there are Project ID's that are new, the corresponding information would then be copied over to the daily workbook.

I am working on the copy command but I'm just not sure how to go about setting up the search to match Project ID's.

If the value in D4 is less than D4 in workbook 2 highlight it red and if it is greater highlight it green. I also want a loop to go through the specified range. Of course, the scale of the worksheets is much greater.
Another issue I foresee, is that the workbook name that I am comparing to changes every week, so is there a way to handle this change easily?
