From: amitexcel on 19 Apr 2010 17:20 A seemingly simple problem for VBA Hi, I am trying to solve the following problem using Excel VBA. I have two EXCEL worksheets. Each sheet contains data of the following type. Account number, amounts for Jan, Feb, March etc There are about 100 accounts on each worksheet. There are about 20 accounts that are common to both worksheets. I have identified which those account numbers are. Now I need to separate the data (rows) for these account numbers from each sheet and put it on a third sheet. So, I need to extract about 20 rows from each sheet and put them on a third sheet, based on the account numbers I have identified. I need to be able to do this repeatedly, when data and account numbers keep changing. I have figured out a way to identify these common account numbers. Now I need to figure out how to extract them from each sheet using VBA. If this was a database problem, I could simply use an SQL SELECT statement. But I am not so good with VBA. Thanks to all who respond.

Do a Google and you will be up and running quickly. Bear in mind that it is best to close the workbook before running the SQL as otherwise there can be a memory leak.

From: amitexcel on 19 Apr 2010 17:48 I seem to have figured it out, though the solution is a bit complicated. Any simple suggestions would be welcome.

Suppose the Acct no is 102 then the follwing statement can copy the row from a sheet Activesheet.usedrange.find(what:="102").entirerow.copy If you can attach the excel file it will be nice for me

Unfortunately, that solution does not work. I will not be the user of this tool. I am building it for someone else. And they will not be able to run SQL. Thanks for responding though.
