Hi,

I have an excel workbook which has has a macro written for an older format of file we maintained , can the cell references be changed to match my new format of file?

This is the code :-
Code: 
Sub testextract()Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False


Dim i, j, k, l, flg, lt_rw1, lt_rw2 As Integer
Dim t1, t2, t3 As String


ThisWorkbook.Sheets("input").Activate


lt_rw1 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Input").Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
lt_rw2 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Name").Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row


If (lt_rw1 > 1) Then
    For i = 2 To lt_rw1
        For l = 1 To 4
            If Cells(i, l).Value = "" Then
                Exit For
            Else
                t1 = UCase(Cells(i, l).Value)
                For j = 2 To lt_rw2
                    For k = 2 To 4
                        If (ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Name").Cells(j, k).Value = "") Then
                            flg = 0
                            Exit For
                        Else
                            t2 = UCase(ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Name").Cells(j, k).Value)
                            t3 = UCase(ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Name").Cells(j, 1).Value)
                            If InStr(1, t1, t2) > 0 Then
                                Cells(i, 5).Value = t3
                                flg = 1
                                Exit For
                            Else
                                flg = 0
                                Cells(i, 5).Value = "Not Available"
                            End If
                        End If
                    Next k
                    If (flg = 1) Then
                        Exit For
                    End If
                Next j
            End If
            If (flg = 1) Then
                Exit For
            End If
        Next l
    Next i
End If


Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
MsgBox "Name Extracted Successfully..!", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Issuer Extracted"


End Sub

There are two sheets involved in the code. This is sheet "Input"

This is the sheet "Name"

Now in the new format of my file, the columns for the sheet "Input" have changed to the below (Columns needed F,G,H,I and P):

I cant understand the code written by my team. Can someone fix this please?

Chris, will it be possible for the code to color the cells that pull "Not Available" as red?

This changed all the Names extracted to Red. Can this be done only for the ones which populate 'Not Available'? Also i was sort of looking for changing the font color and not the cell's background. Is it much different?

I hope this one is the code you are looking for:
