    Vlookup and copy data back into original data

    Hi Guys,

    I have some script that copies data from an original sheet "Details" into 5 separate sheets depending on some logic ( e.g. A value > 7 and P = "").

    but when I update the data on these separate tab I need to be able to copy some details back into the original data.

    E.g.

    "Details" Table :
    ID Read
    001 1234
    002 4567

    Copied to the "Readings" Table where I change the read data:
    ID Read
    001 1111
    002 2222

    And then I need to run a macro that looks up the ID from the "readings" table in the "details" table
    And updates the Read from the "readings" table back into the "details" table

    "Details" Table now needs to look like this :
    ID Read
    001 1111
    002 2222


    I have the copy done so I just need some assistance with the copy back if possible please ?

    Thanks
    Sarah

    Which columns are the ID and Read for each sheet?

    If you want help with modifying your script, perhaps you should post your script.

    An example workbook would be useful to. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
    Surround your VBA code with CODE tags e.g.;
    [CODE]your VBA code here[/CODE]
    The # button in the forum editor will apply CODE tags around your selected text.

    @ JOHN H. DAVIS - the "ID" is column B and the "read" is in G
