Macro To Loop Through Worksheets To Match Value And Return All Results

[rameezl17]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to build a macro that takes the value in Sheet name - "Report" Cell "A2" (this is going to be a employees name), looks through all the sheets in my workbook and returns each project name that their name is in one of the sheets going down from Cell "A5". So If their name appears 3 times within all the tabs in my workbook I want it to return the project name which will be in Cell E20 in all the other tabs.

So if I were to do this within excel and NOT VBA it would look like this -
=INDEX('1'!E20:E24,MATCH('Report'!A2,'1'!$G$20:$G$24))

The '1' is the name of the tab that it has the info i need to match to. (All the worksheets are numbered 1,2,3,4,5, and will continue growing as more projects come in)
I need the above formula to loop through all workbooks and once it finds a match to post the result in cell A5 and keep going down from there for each match that it finds

Thank you for your help!

here is the workbook i'm using to test the code
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fw_p0wbTmxS9LrsI3S4-GF7_nHs-69Kp/view?usp=sharing

tell me whats different here?
edit:

Sheets("Report").Cells(5it the + x, 1).Value = ary1(j, 5)

was an oopsie change that back to

Sheets("Report").Cells(5 + x, 1).Value = ary1(j, 5)

so when i use your code in my file it gives me the correct roles (Project Support 1 and then Project Support 4, but it does it in column A & B which then removes the project name in Project A. Currently trying to test out to code to see if I can fix it

i thought you were getting a subscript out of range error?
what fixed it?

 For k = 1 To 4
        If ary1(j, 6) = ary1(20 + k, 6) Then
            Sheets("Report").Cells(5 + x, 1).Value = ary1(20, 5)
            If k <> 1 Then
            Sheets("Report").Cells(5 + x, 2).Value = "Project Support" & k
            x = x + 1
            Else
            Sheets("Report").Cells(5 + x, 2).Value = "Project Support"
            x = x + 1
            End If
        
        End If
    Next k

the 5 + x, 1 means A5
the 5 + x, 2 means B5

If ary1(j, 6) = ary1(20, 6) Then
    Sheets("Report").Cells(5 + x, 1).Value = ary1(20, 5)
    Sheets("Report").Cells(5 + x, 2).Value = "Project Lead"
    x = x + 1
Else
End If

same for this


so the "Project lead" and "Project Support"s should not be overwriting the project name found in E20
if you have any errors its because something was changed as i've attached a link to the workbook i'm using in post #41 and it works as intended?

in my supplied workbook running this code

Sub timesTHREE()
Dim x As Long, i As Long, j As Long, k As Long, p As Long
Dim ary1 As Variant
Dim wsCOUNT As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim lastROW As Long, lastCol As Long


wsCOUNT = Application.Sheets.Count

'loops through the sheets
For i = 7 To wsCOUNT
    k = 0

'gets the sheets last row and last column
lastROW = Sheets(i).Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
lastCol = Sheets(i).Range("A1").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Column

'sets the current sheet as the array given there are no blank rows/columns
ReDim ary1(1 To lastROW, 1 To lastCol)
ary1 = Sheets(i).Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Value2

'loop through the rows of the array
For j = LBound(ary1) To UBound(ary1)
    
'find  matches between A2 and array
If Sheets("Report").Range("A2").Value = ary1(j, 6) Then

'loop to find project supports
    For k = 1 To 4
        If ary1(j, 6) = ary1(20 + k, 6) Then
            Sheets("Report").Cells(5 + x, 1).Value = ary1(20, 5)
            If k <> 1 Then
            Sheets("Report").Cells(5 + x, 2).Value = "Project Support" & k
            x = x + 1
            Else
            Sheets("Report").Cells(5 + x, 2).Value = "Project Support"
            x = x + 1
            End If
        
        End If
    Next k
          
'if to find project leads
If ary1(j, 6) = ary1(20, 6) Then
    Sheets("Report").Cells(5 + x, 1).Value = ary1(20, 5)
    Sheets("Report").Cells(5 + x, 2).Value = "Project Lead"
    x = x + 1
Else
End If
End If
        
Next j
Next i

End Sub

i get this result in sheets "Report"

	A	B
1
2	Boofles
3
4
5	Project 1	Project Lead
6	Project 3	Project Support2
7	Project 5	Project Support

This is the workbook Ive been working with

You have the project name in D20 not E20

try this

Sub timesTHREE()
Dim x As Long, i As Long, j As Long, k As Long, p As Long
Dim ary1 As Variant
Dim wsCOUNT As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim lastROW As Long, lastCol As Long


wsCOUNT = Application.Sheets.Count

'loops through the sheets
For i = 7 To wsCOUNT
    k = 0

'gets the sheets last row and last column
lastROW = Sheets(i).Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
lastCol = Sheets(i).Range("A1").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Column

'sets the current sheet as the array given there are no blank rows/columns
ReDim ary1(1 To lastROW, 1 To lastCol)
ary1 = Sheets(i).Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Value2

'loop through the rows of the array
For j = LBound(ary1) To UBound(ary1)
    
'find  matches between A2 and array
If Sheets("Report").Range("A2").Value = ary1(j, 6) Then

'loop to find project supports
    For k = 1 To 4
        If ary1(j, 6) = ary1(20 + k, 6) Then
            Sheets("Report").Cells(5 + x, 1).Value = ary1(20, 4)
            If k <> 1 Then
            Sheets("Report").Cells(5 + x, 2).Value = "Project Support" & k
            x = x + 1
            Else
            Sheets("Report").Cells(5 + x, 2).Value = "Project Support"
            x = x + 1
            End If
        
        End If
    Next k
          
'if to find project leads
If ary1(j, 6) = ary1(20, 6) Then
    Sheets("Report").Cells(5 + x, 1).Value = ary1(20, 4)
    Sheets("Report").Cells(5 + x, 2).Value = "Project Lead"
    x = x + 1
Else
End If
End If
        
Next j
Next i

End Sub

alternatively change:
ary1(20, 4) to ary1(2, 1)
since both are the project name

So that gave me the correct format but... my name is on 2 of the project tabs and the report is only showing Project 1

Scratch that it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
