Hi,
I've been trying to find a way to look up a value from a list and return all entries from another worksheet, and when it's found it will move to another search criteria and repeat the same. Tried to use the index - array and small function but it will only return the first search criteria.

Tried to look for a VBA code but couldnt find one that matches what I'm looking for.

I have two worksheets
1) Result
2) Data (more than 50000 entries)

In the worksheet Result in column V I have search entries that I want to lookup, in column W I can see how many times this entry have been repeated in the worksheet Data
What I want the VBA to do is to look up the search criteria in column V (i.e cell V2) in worksheet Data and copy the enire row from column D in worksheet Data to the worksheet Result starting from A2 and repeat until all entries are found. When this is done the VBA will look up the entries for the next search criteria in column V (i.e cell V3) and continue until as long as value in column V>0 (because the value in column V is formula)

If the VBA works correctly the result should look like this

Many thanks in advance for the help!

Another option using Autofilter to copy:

VBA Code: 
Option Explicit
Sub priisha()
    Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet
    Set ws1 = Worksheets("Result")
    Set ws2 = Worksheets("Data")
    Dim c As Range
    Dim lr1 As Long, lr2 As Long, lr3 As Long
    lr1 = ws1.Cells(Rows.Count, 22).End(xlUp).Row
    lr2 = ws2.Cells(Rows.Count, 4).End(xlUp).Row
    
    For Each c In ws1.Range(ws1.Cells(2, 22), ws1.Cells(lr1, 22))
        lr3 = ws1.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1
        With ws2.Range(ws2.Cells(2, 4), ws2.Cells(lr2, 7))
            .AutoFilter 1, c.Value
            .Offset(1).Copy ws1.Cells(lr3, 1)
            .AutoFilter
        End With
        lr3 = ws1.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1
    Next c
End Sub

This doesn't give me any clue as to what happened, was there an error?? did the macro execute but copy nothing?? Have you tried using the VBA debug facility to see what happened??

Hi,
The problem is that it seems the macro wont start at all and no error popped up.

I tried to use the VBA debug facility and it runs through the code without error and until the part Next j and loops back to If docar(i, 1) = datar(j, 1) Then ' copy.
Assuming that it runs correctly it should after 4 repeats (because that's the amount of entries for the first criteria) it should go to Next i but it didn't happen

Hi,

thank you for the code, I tried this VBA and it worked fine on my test sheet.
However I forgot to mention that in the real file the worksheet Data is a powerpivot table. And when I copied the VBA code you've provided I got an error when the code moves from
.Autofilter 1, c.Value to
.Offset(1).Copy ws1.Cells(lr3, 1)

Error message
Run-time error 1004'
Application-defined or object-defined error.

thanks!

It would appear that the values which the code is checking in docar(i,1) and data(j,1) never match. I sugggest you put a breakpoint on that line of code and see what the values in these two are. To put a breakpoint in just click on the column next the line in the vba window.,

many thanks for the support, solved the issue by changing For j = 2 to For j = 3.

Yes, it would have been useful to know this from the start ;)

It seems from your post #9 that you have a solution with the code supplied by @offthelip. Sorry I couldn't help further.
