DIFFICULT -

In one file I have multiple rows and columns of data.

In the second file I am trying to write a CSE(Array Formula) which will print values into column A of file2. It should:
Look at all the values in file1!B2:B200
If the value in the file1!B column is "high" then it should print the exact text of the corresponding file1!E column into the next available slot in the A column of file2.

Example:

in file1
b1="low" ----e1="apples"
b2="high" ----e2="oranges"
b3="low" ----e3="pears"
b4="high" ----e4="grapes"
. . .


then I would like a formula that inputs in file2 column A and returns
oranges in A1
grapes in A2
. . .

Thanks.

This is a bit crude, but I think it gets you where you need to be. I can't think of a formula to do what you want as it would need to keep pointing at different cells, but try adding this to your File2 and running it.

Dim myrow As Integer
Dim myrow2 As Integer
Dim RowEtext As String


myrow = 1
myrow2 = 0

For myrow = 1 To 200

Windows("file1.xls").Activate
Range("A1").Select
If ActiveCell.Offset(myrow - 1, 1) = "high" Then
RowEtext = ActiveCell.Offset(myrow - 1, 4)
Windows("file2.xls").Activate
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(myrow2, 0) = RowEtext
myrow2 = myrow2 + 1
End If
Next myrow

End Sub

Gary,

That seems to me the right approach to the OP's question.
