Help with vba using VlookUp

[Gregm66]

Hi Everyone,

My Question today is about using vlookup in vba, or something of the like.
I have 2 worksheets one named "Members" the other named "Fees Paid". Currently i am using vlookup in cells that require it, what i would like to do is use vba to accomplish this task instead.

The "Members Sheet " is where all data is manually entered, The "Fees Paid Sheet" has 8 Columns "A" through to "H" column A uses vlookup, column B uses Data Validation List, Column's C,D & E all use vlookup, Once the user selects a name in column B then the rest of the columns return the matching Data for that name.

is there a way to have vba do this so that i can remove all formulas from column's A,C,D & E....? This must continue down the worksheet over time until the worksheet is full.

Thankyou all in advance...

Try this

Put the following code in the event of the sheet "Fees paid"

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
  If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
  If Target.Value = "" Then Exit Sub
  Dim sh As Worksheet, f As Range
  If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B:B")) Is Nothing Then
    Set sh = Sheets("Members")
    Set f = sh.Range("[COLOR=#ff0000]A:A[/COLOR]").Find(Target.Value, , xlValues, xlWhole)
    If Not f Is Nothing Then
      '[COLOR=#0000ff]cell destination              cell origin[/COLOR]
      Cells(Target.Row, "A").Value = sh.Cells(f.Row, "B").Value
      Cells(Target.Row, "C").Value = sh.Cells(f.Row, "C").Value
      Cells(Target.Row, "D").Value = sh.Cells(f.Row, "D").Value
      Cells(Target.Row, "E").Value = sh.Cells(f.Row, "E").Value
      Cells(Target.Row, "F").Value = sh.Cells(f.Row, "F").Value
      Cells(Target.Row, "G").Value = sh.Cells(f.Row, "G").Value
      Cells(Target.Row, "H").Value = sh.Cells(f.Row, "H").Value
    Else
      MsgBox "Member does not exists"
    End If
  End If
End Sub

You did not mention in which column of the "members" sheet the search is performed, then change "A:A" to that column.


You must also adjust the destination columns and the origin column.


SHEET EVENT
Right click the tab of the sheet you want this to work (Fees paid), select view code and paste the code into the window that opens up.

Then, when you select a member on the "Fees paid" sheet, the macro automatically runs.


Let me know if you have any doubt.

Hi DanteAmor,

Appologise it searchs the Members sheet columns "B, C, D, E, F & G"

 

[My Aswer Is This]

Are you saying when you enter "Alpha" in column A of Fees Paid sheet you want the script to look in sheet named Members Column A for "Alpha" and then copy the whole row from sheet Members to sheet Fees Paid?

Hi DanteAmor,

Appologise it searchs the Members sheet columns "B, C, D, E, F & G"

I am not understanding, you could give some examples.
Or the formulas you are using.

 

[Gregm66]

The columns in the Members sheet hold the members names ph numbers etc, if in column B on the fees paid sheet the user selects a members name, then columns A,C,D & E need to seach the members sheet and return the matching details for that particular member...
the vlookup in each cell that i am using to do this looks like see below..

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,Members,2,FALSE),"")

 

[Gregm66]

Sorry the above code is in the fees paid sheet..
the code is in column "A" column "C" column "D" column "E"

 

[DanteAmor]

Did you try the macro?
