Hello,
I've two excel files (A and B ). File A got Names of 1000 employees of our firm. File B is complete list and got names of 35000 employees of our firm including their location and country.
A macro should compare names between File A and B and populate Location in File A after looking up in File B

Example:
File A
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Name[/TD]
[TD]Location[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Andrew Corey[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Michael Wilson[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

File B

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Name[/TD]
[TD]Location[/TD]
[TD]Country[/TD]

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
The difference is the other languages have been fully developed or are continuously being improved and having new versions released.

VBA is neither...its "unfinished"....Abandoned by Microsoft to focus on bigger and better things. When was the last meaningful VBA release?
VBA was last upgraded in 2010, to version 7. Since then, it has been updated for Office 2016. See:
