Finding value in a column in another sheet and bring in another worksheet by offset

[rdev]

I have the following data in sheet1 in
Column A Column B
Nam-Biz Region
Dev FG
Samy GR
Lapo HP

I need to pull corresponding values in sheet 2 for each occurrence of values in column A in Column A in Sheet 2 . For example

In Sheet 2

Name Biz Region
Samy GR
Dev FG
Samy GR

I need help with a macro which can do that

rdev,

If I understand you correctly, then here is a macro solution for you to consider.

Sample raw data worksheets:

Excel 2007
	A	B
1	Nam-Biz	Region
2	Dev	FG
3	Samy	GR
4	Lapo	HP
5
Sheet1

Excel 2007
	A	B
1	Nam-Biz	Region
2	Samy
3	Dev
4	Samy
5
Sheet2

And, after the macro:

Excel 2007
	A	B
1	Nam-Biz	Region
2	Samy	GR
3	Dev	FG
4	Samy	GR
5
Sheet2

Please TEST this FIRST in a COPY of your workbook (always make a backup copy before trying new code, you never know what you might lose).

1. Copy the below code
2. Open your NEW workbook
3. Press the keys ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor
4. Press the keys ALT + I to activate the Insert menu
5. Press M to insert a Standard Module
6. Where the cursor is flashing, paste the code
7. Press the keys ALT + Q to exit the Editor, and return to Excel
8. To run the macro from Excel press ALT + F8 to display the Run Macro Dialog. Double Click the macro's name to Run it.

Sub rdev()
' hiker95, 01/13/2017, ME985590
Dim w1 As Worksheet, w2 As Worksheet
Dim n As Range, r As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set w1 = Sheets("Sheet1")
Set w2 = Sheets("Sheet2")
With w2
  For Each n In .Range("A2", .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
    Set r = w1.Columns(1).Find(n.Value, LookAt:=xlWhole)
    If Not r Is Nothing Then
      n.Offset(, 1).Value = w1.Cells(r.Row, 2).Value
    End If
  Next n
  .Activate
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Before you use the macro with Excel 2007 or newer, save your workbook, Save As, a macro enabled workbook with the file extension .xlsm, and, answer the "do you want to enable macros" question as "yes" or "OK" (depending on the button label for your version of Excel) the next time you open your workbook.

Then run the rdev macro.
