    Search for corresponding mobile phone number using email address

    Hi,

    I have an excel file with member details such as NAME, EMAIL and MOBILEPHONE NUMBER. This excel file FileA.xlsx has about 3000 records/rows.

    I have another excel file FileB.xlsx which contains only some of the email addresses listed in FileA.xlsx - about 400 email addresses only.

    How can I write a script or macros to retrieve the corresponding 400 MOBILEPHONE NUMBERs from FileA.xlsx and list them besides the email addresses in FileB.xlsx. So I will have one column email address, next column their mobilephone number.

    Hello and welcome to the forum,

    You can use a formula (vlookup or index/match) in FileB or use a macro to do it for you. In both cases, we need to see dummy copies of your data to properly help you. Keep the structure the same, but you can replace the real data with false data.

    Dear davisraye..

    1-make backup for both the files first
    2- bring in ( copy ) the required sheet in B.xlsx to A.xlsx ( it will help you in future for reference )
    3. Now use Vlookup in a new column next to your email address, and select the array in other sheet that contains both emails n mobile numbers.

    done.

    Yes, I was really happy when I learned how to use vlookup for the first time. It was like magic.

    Good luck.
