Hi
I was wondering if the following is possible and what the most efficient way is of doing it to make it user friendly (macro \ VBA?)
Column A of Spreadsheet 1 contains a list of fixed text. This never changes.
Column B of Spreadsheet 1 contains values which are variable. These values are applicable to the fixed text descriptions by the side of them in column A.
A completely different spreadsheet, spreadsheet 2 contains the fixed text of Spreadsheet 1 and also has the variable value by the side of it.
Spreadsheet 1 is the master way of tracking information. Spreadsheet 2 gets updated and released on a periodical frequency.
Is there some kind of function that can be run on Spreadsheet 1 that automatically seeks out the relevant variable values in spreadsheet 2?
I should add that Spreadsheet 2 is formatted differently to Spreadsheet 1 so the function will need to seek out the fixed text and then pick up the variable text in the adjacent column.
I was going to ask this on Fiverr but thought I'd ask here first. Happy to send some beer tokens if a workable example can be sent on (if it's easy).
Thanks
