    Copy rows that match values in a column of names

    Hi folks.

    I did my best to search the forums to find an answer that would fulfill what I need done, but I had no luck. It seems that there are hundreds of copy rows requests, but all seem to be unique in their own ways.

    Essentially I have a column of company names in one tab (Tab A), and then a huge list of company names with data in another tab (Tab B). Since I can't use vlookup to copy over whole rows (Please note that I want the whole row and not only the columns listed in the sample data.. i have deleted some columns for privacy reasons), I am needing a copy row function that would essentially copy over any lines from Tab B to a new spreadsheet/tab names results or something similar, where a company name found in tab A matches in tab B. The reason I need this macro is because i have over 40000 lines in Tab B and roughly 300 lines in tab A. If I had to filter by each name (~300) , copy and paste to a new spreadsheet.. this would take hours.

    I have attached sample data below. Notice that I have included a supplier name and unique number. You can alternatively match against the number since it leaves less room for error since sometimes leading/trailing spaces, etc. call for mismatches and missed data.


    I whole heartily appreciate your help and expertise. This is a wonderful community and has helped me a lot before! In short, you guys are all geniuses!

    Thanks again.

    Re: Copy rows that match values in a column of names

    After thinking about this all morning, I'm assuming this would be a simple if loop statement saying

    "
    int n=2;
    if Tab A:Bn == Tab B:B#, copy row to Tab C. Else n++;

    "


    I know thats not the right syntax or structure but I'm guessing that is what the final code will basically do.

    Here is an update with some code that user CatDaddy from vbaexpress forums. Although the code looks good, I keep getting an error that just says 400 in excel 2007. Can anyone look this through to see why its throwing an error?

    Thanks and happy friday!

    Marking this thread as solved (even though the solution came from another forum) in case someone else can use the macro for themselves down the road:
