I'm working on a project for an extracurricular I'm involved in that requires manipulating a large Excel sheet with personal information of members. I'm only literate in the basics of Excel, but I really need help making a macro to automate the transfer of data for this project.
Basically, I have two worksheets, one with member names and blank contact info, and the other with names and contact info filled in. I need some way of automating the following:
One issue is that the name format for the two documents is different, unfortunately. The blank doc has a column with full names (first middle last, suffix), the doc with contact info is formatting with three name columns: (first MI last), (suffix), and (last name). There are definitely non-unique last names.
I'm a newbie when it comes to macros and VBA, so hopefully you all can lend me a helping hand! Please let me know if you need more detail information. I can post a blank copy of the worksheets if necessary.
Thanks,
Neal

- Search for each listed name in the blank document
- Copy the associated contact information from the completed doc to the blank doc
