Excel VBA: Insert cell in a table from searching another table - mysql

Question

It's been years since I last had to code anything, but now I seem to need it again.
To simplify, I have number 7 in column A, and I need to input another number in column B depending on what number 7 relates to in another table in another sheet.
So in Sheet2 another table has numbers ranging from 1 to 10 in column A, and according numbers in column B. I then need it to search for number 7 in column A of sheet2 and give me the number in column B, and place it in column B in the first sheet.
I have tried a For loop inside a For loop, based on another code I found somewhere, but it's been so long ago I would need to spend hours rereading and trying to get near a solution. Maybe this is an easy thing for advanced coders?
Anyways, thanks in advance for the help!

Answer 1

couldn't you ever help without VBA then you can use this
Option Explicit
Sub main()
Dim cell As Range, f As Range
Dim rng1 As Range, rng2 As Range
Set rng1 = Worksheets("Sht1").Columns(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants) '<--Change "Sht1" to your actual sheet1 name
Set rng2 = Worksheets("Sht2").Columns(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants) '<--Change "Sht2" to your actual sheet2 name
For Each cell In rng1
Set f = rng2.Find(what:=cell.Value2, LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=xlNo)
If Not f Is Nothing Then cell.Offset(, 1) = f.Offset(, 1)
Next cell
End Sub

Here are two ways of doing searching over two tables.
Sub LoopValues()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Dim wsSource As Worksheet, wsSearch As Worksheet
Dim sourceLastRow As Long, searchLastRow As Long
Dim i As Long, j As Long
Set wsSource = Worksheets("Sheet3")
Set wsSearch = Worksheets("Sheet4")
With wsSource
sourceLastRow = .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
searchLastRow = wsSearch.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To sourceLastRow
For j = 2 To sourceLastRow
If .Cells(i, 1).Value = wsSearch.Cells(j, 1).Value Then .Cells(i, 2).Value = wsSearch.Cells(j, 2).Value
Next
Next
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End Sub
Sub FindValuesLoop()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Dim wsSource As Worksheet, wsSearch As Worksheet
Dim sourceLastRow As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim SearchRange As Range, rFound As Range
Set wsSource = Worksheets("Sheet3")
Set wsSearch = Worksheets("Sheet4")
With wsSource
sourceLastRow = .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set SearchRange = wsSearch.Range(wsSearch.Range("A1"), wsSearch.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
For i = 2 To sourceLastRow
Set rFound = SearchRange.Find(What:=.Cells(i, 1).Value, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False)
If Not rFound Is Nothing Then .Cells(i, 2).Value = rFound.Offset(0, 1).Value
Next
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End Sub
