    Arrow how to use VB code to define vlookup in two workbook

    Dear friends,

    I try to combine data between two worksheet using VB. One workbook calls SAN kept in c:\test\import, another workbook calls WYE kept in c:\test\backup

    SAN Workbook has one sheet (sheet1)
    COLUMN A B
    C034001
    C042001
    C054021

    WYE Workbook has one sheet(code)
    column A B
    C034001 WYE1
    C042001 WYE2
    C054021 WYE3


    Now want to use vb code to copy WYE column B value to SAN column B based on the column A. But always failed. Could anybody help me. Thanks so much

    My current some code as below
    set backxl=new excel.application
    set destxl=new excel.applicaiton

    strDestF=C:\test\import\san.xls
    strBackF=c:\test\backup\wye.xls
    destXL.Workbooks.Open strDestF
    backXL.Workbooks.Open strBackF
    i=0


    I try to use vlookup to get value from wye.xls to san.xls, but failed
    destXL.Cell(i + 2, 2) = "vlookup('" & destXL.Cells(i + 2, 1) & "'," & "[strBackF]Code!A$A$2" & ":" & "$B$4" & ",2)"

    Regards

    how about using find command to get the row and just refer to the cell column and row?

    the below is an example

    tender = Sheets("km").Cells(j, colkm).Text
    Set rng = Sheets("nominated").Range("nom").Find(tender)
    If rng Is Nothing Then GoTo badkmtender
    nomrow = rng.Row
    not a professional, just trying to assist.....

    Hi, Duane

    Thanks for your reply. Because wye.xls has many codes. A is our company code, B is our customer code. So use Vlookup I think is the fastest way to get the customer code from WYE.xls and paste to SAN.XLS.

    Can't run second times

    Dear friends,

    I used VB (excel.application) to open two excel file (One called AAA.XLS is standard code, another called BBB.XLS will get code from AAA.XLS), after finishing, I use .Quit to exit both of excel file. Then again to open another excel file CCC.XLS to get AAA.XLS code, but failed. I suspected excel or workbook or temp file didn't acutually close. Below is part of my codeing, when second time run to
    destXL.Cells(iRowDest, 31) = Application.VLookup(findString, rang1, 2, False), will failed. Here destxl is the example BBB.XLS or CCC.XLS, backxl likes AAA.XLS.
    I tried many times, but all failed. Anyone can help. Thanks so much!

    Set backXL = New excel.Application 'SANKYU AND WYETH CODE
    Set destXL = New excel.Application 'NEED ADD WYETH CODE

    destXL.Workbooks.Open strDestF
    destXL.Cells(1, 31) = "WYETH"

    backXL.Workbooks.Open strBackF
    'Do While backXL.Cells(backCount, 1) <> ""
    ' backCount = backCount + 1 'get how many wyeth code in template
    'Loop

    '
    Do While destXL.Cells(iRowDest, 30) <> ""
    Dim findString As String
    Dim rang1 As Range

    Set rang1 = backXL.Range("A2:B10000")
    findString = destXL.Cells(iRowDest, 30)
    destXL.Cells(iRowDest, 31) = Application.VLookup(findString, rang1, 2, False)

    iRowDest = iRowDest + 1
    sourceCount = iRowDest

    Loop
    destXL.Cells(sourceCount, 25) = "=SUM(Y2:Y" & sourceCount - 1 & ")"
    lbxFile.Refresh
    Kill (strSourceF)
    MsgBox "Finish to add Wyeth Code!", vbOKOnly, "Finish"
    'clean up and exit
    Set oWS = Nothing
    If Not oWB Is Nothing Then oWB.Close
    Set oWB = Nothing
    destXL.Quit
    backXL.Quit
    'Kill (strBackF)
    btnExport.Enabled = False
    Set destXL = Nothing
    Set backXL = Nothing
    Application.Quit
    btnExport.Enabled = False
    btnConfirm.Enabled = False
    excel.Application.Quit
    'Application.ActiveWindow.Close
    'Unload Me
    Exit Sub
