Macro Help-Advanced

[vbmulk]

This is way above my head but hoping you guys can help. I don't have much experience with Macros but would like to do the following:

Info:

Sheet1 has a range of numbers in cells A1-A20
Sheet2 range of numbers in cells A1-A15

I currently have a match formula on sheet 1 that says if the number in the Sheet 1 range is matched in the Sheet 2 range then highlight the cell. I actually want to highlight the numbers that don't match but couldn't figure out how to do that so I just settled with knowing that the cells not highlighted are the ones that don't match. Anyway, once I find the numbers that don't match on Sheet 1 I need to add them to Sheet 2. I don't necessarily care if they are added to the end of the range or in numerical order since I can sort the list if I need to.

Is there a way to create a Macro so that this can be done with the click of the mouse?

Thanks for the help.

This should hopefully give you the flexibility you need...

Sub Add_Accounts()
'last row in sheet1 A
With Sheets("Sheet1")
lr1 = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
End With
'next row in sheet 2 = last row + 1
With Sheets("Sheet2")
lr2 = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1
For Each cell In Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A" & lr1)
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(.Range("A1:A" & lr2), cell) = 0 Then
.Range("A" & lr2 & ":B" & lr2) = cell.Resize(1, 2).Value
lr2 = lr2 + 1
End If
Next cell
End With
End Sub

As you can see the nature of the code has changed some since we have moved away from your 20 rows and 15 rows and 5 to transfer.
For future posts, you might want to bear in mind that the more accurately you can describe your set up / problem / needs, the more directly one of the members can give you a solution.

BTW, I'm sure that I'm correct in saying that all the tools necessary to compile the above code are put across in the MrExcel Live Lessons I spoke of. Couple those tools with a little imagination and logical thinking and you can have great satisfaction and fun with vba.

thanks Tony.

vbmulk, You are welcome.


hiker95, I did post a link to your list, in post #7. However, I note that it has expanded a little since so I will bookmark this thread as a future reference, unless you have a link to the source of your list?

Snakehips,

hiker95, I did post a link to your list, in post #7.

Thanks for that.

It was an old list. I now put the date with the information, and, a link to the latest thread if one exists.

Keep up the good work.
