Hi all
I am not the most savvy of excel users but it is essential for my job role and I am more than willing to learn.
My workbook contains over 1600 individuals, I have been asked to start including a new set of data for each individual. Due to the report system at my workplace, I will have to update each individual one by one which will take me a very long time indeed. I could do it manually but I aim to create a macro that will speed up things.
I have two worksheets, I'll name them Alpha and Beta.
Alpha contains a table in which I have copied data from our reports into. This data is for one individual only (there are no large scale reports for multiple individuals). Alpha matches the format of the report.
Beta contains all 1600 individuals with new data fields for the data I need in Alpha
What I want to do is create a macro that will automatically take the data I have copied into Alpha and put it exactly where I want it in Beta but it has to be in the same row as the specific individual.
Each individual has a unique identifier to link both worksheets together. I figured Vlookup would be the best function to use. How can I program a macro so if I was to put the unique identifier into Alpha, Excel would know where to find the unique identifier in Beta and copy the data from Alpha to Beta into the right location.
I have attached an example. I've color coordinated it for better understanding of where I need things to go.
I hope that all makes sense
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Nick
