Suggestion needed

  Asked By: John    Date: Nov 12    Category: MS Office    Views: 528
  

I have two two matrices. Matrix-2 with 170 rows and two columns. Each cell
filled with 13 digit Numbers and Columns-2 has counts the number of times cell
value repaeted.

Matrix-1 has 430 rows. Columns have 13 digit no. and reference(Text) for each
cell.

How can I write Excel macros, which will check both matrix and print the
reference values(Text) for each corresponding cell opposite matrix-2. eg.
Matrix-1
1 A
2 B
3 A
4 C
5 B


Matrix-2
A 2
B 2
C 1

I want Excel macro to write Marix-3 as output containing:

A 1,3
B 2 5
C 4

Any Idea?

You will need to have an outer loop which steps through each or the rows in
matrix-2 and picks up the values.

Within this you will need an inner loop which steps through each row in matrix
1 and looks for the values.

When it finds a matching value it needs to copy the cell immediately to the
left and paste the value in the next blank in the row in Matrix-3.

If you have problems when you try this post your code and we can help you sort
out your problems.

First suggestion  is not to use a subject "Suggestion needed". Use a
meaningful subject if you want answers.

I'm not sure what your question is anyway. "Any Idea?" is pretty useless.
My "idea" would be to hire a professional programmer if you can't do it
yourself. :-) :-)

Exactly which part of this need are you having trouble with? Passing the
two ranges as parameters to the subroutine or using named ranges? Working
down the rows of the second table? Working down the rows of the first table
and detecting that the row on the second table matches the info on the row
in the first table? Concatenating information into a string?

Please make a start on it, then post your code if it doesn't work, including
specific questions about what's happening and what you want to happen.
(Plus a new Subject line.)

It looks as though you have some programming experience,,,,,
May we ask what programming language?

No. Not at all. I want help on writing macros for this.
