VBA to lookup lowest cost shipping from a different workbook

[rdishman]

This is my first post here. I appreciate any help.
What I need to do is look up the lowest cost shipper for each order item from a different workbook. Also, it must be the lowest cost shipper with an arrival date early enough to meet the customer’s request. My strategy so far:

1 Sort the separate Cost workbook by OrderID, then by Arrival Date, then by Cost.
2 Set a range in the Cost workbook that includes the above.
3 Loop through the range, and for each OrderID, find the least cost shipper with an acceptable arrival date.
4 Post that cost and name of shipper in the original workbook/worksheet (named Assignment).

I think I can use this strategy with a MINIF function, but I have struggled for a long time to develop the right syntax.
This is my code so far:

Administrative Note:

Welcome to the forum.

We would very much like to help you with your query, however you need to include code tags around your code.

Please take a moment to add the tags. Posting code between tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, and it also maintains VBA formatting.

Please see Forum Rule #2 about code tags and adjust accordingly. Click on Edit to open your post, then highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here

(Note: this change is not optional. No help to be offered until this moderation request has been fulfilled.)

Did this work? I have not used tags before. I looked at other posts and tried to follow your directions but I see no changes to my original post. I have now gotten the word code to appear under "tags for this thread" below my post.

When I hit the Edit Post button under this second post, it copied it over and I added this. However, When I hit the Edit Post button under my original post, no content appears in the new window. Nothing is copied over for me to edit.
