    Macro Assistance Needed - Compare Data - Update Specific Cell from Seperate Workbooks

    Hello,

    I'm looking for assistance with creating a macro that will find matching data in Column A from two workbooks and update the data in column B and C from the newly generated report to the master report.

    Workbook1 = Master
    Workbook2 = NewReport
    Master Active Worksheet = sheet1
    NewReport Active Worksheet = sheet1

    Example: Master Sheet1
    A,B,C,
    Name, Age, Weight(Row1 Header)
    Tom, 20, 150
    Bob, 35, 210
    Carl, 43, 170

    Example: NewReport Sheet1
    A,B,C
    Name, Age, Weight(Row1 Header)
    Tom, 22, 153
    Bob, 35, 215
    Carl, 44, 170

    The macro should take the data from the NewReport, compare column A's data to the Master for matches, when matches are found it should then update the data in the Master spreadsheet. The macro will need to by dynamic with the ability to update the information regardless of what order the data is presented in and also should be scalable as the reports grow in size.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Thank you,
    E

    Maybe this is too difficult of a task to automate with visual basic? :-)
