Hi all, I have different workbooks of different people's profile, eg. John.xlsx, Isabella.xlsx, etc. I need to update these workbooks and save them. For eg. I update Age from 'ThisWorkbook.Sheets.("All_Routines")'. I have written a code called "FindMatch", which selects a workbook name from Column C in Sheets.("Profiles") and finds a match in Column A in Sheets.("All_Routines"). If the match is found then it runs a macro "Add_Age" from column B "Routines".

"Add_Age" subroutine should open the matched workbook. For eg. If John.xlsx is matched then it should open John.xlsx from the Workbook_path in Sheets.("Profiles"). After the workbook is opened, it should copy the Age and paste it in the John.xlsx workbook.

Similarly, I expect to open the Isabella.xlsx and other workbooks and do the same.



ThisWorkbook.Sheets.("Profiles")
ABC
1Workbook_PathsWorkbook_Name
2C:\Workbooks\John.xlsxJohn.xlsx

3
D:\New_Workbooks\Isabella.xlsxIsabella.xlsx



ThisWorkbook.Sheets.("All_Routines")
ABCD
1Profile_Name Routines AgeWeight

2
John.xlsx Add_Age 2460
3Isabella.xlsxAdd_Weight2155



Final result in Workbook "John.xlsx"
ABC
1Profile_NameAgeWeight
2John 24 60



Module "FindMatch"

VBA Code:
    Sub FindMatch()
    
        Dim ws As Worksheet, Sh As Worksheet
        Dim wsRws As Long, wsRng As Range, w As Range
        Dim shRws As Long, shRng As Range, s As Range
        Dim WBName As String
        Set ws = Sheets("Profiles")
        Set Sh = Sheets("All_Routines")
    
        With ws
            wsRws = .Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row
            Set wsRng = .Range(.Cells(1, "D"), .Cells(wsRws, "D"))
        End With
    
        With Sh
            shRws = .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
            Set shRng = .Range(.Cells(1, "A"), .Cells(shRws, "A"))
        End With
    
        For Each w In wsRng
            For Each s In shRng
    
                If w = s Then Run s.Offset(0, 1).Value   
            Next s
        Next w
    End Sub



Module "Add_Age"

VBA Code:
Sub Add_Age()
        Dim wb As Workbook
        Dim wb2 As Workbook
        Dim WS1 As Worksheet
        Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
        Set WS1 = wb.Worksheets("Profiles")
        Dim c As Range, FoundCells As Range
        Dim firstaddress As String
        Dim Wrkbk As Workbook
        Dim wkbQuelle As Workbook
        Dim strDateTime As String
        Dim autOrdner As String
        Dim FileName As String
        Dim FinalFileName As String
        Dim tmpWB As Workbook
        
        Set tmpWB = ThisWorkbook
        Dim tmpSheet As Worksheet
        Set tmpSheet = tmpWB.Sheets("StandardPaths")
        
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        With Sheets("Profiles").Range("D1:D50")
            'find first cell that contains "rec"
            Set c = .Find("John.xlsx", LookIn:=xlValues)
            
            'if the search returns a cell
            If Not c Is Nothing Then
                'note the address of first cell found
                firstaddress = c.Address
                Do
                    'FoundCells is the variable that will refer to all of the
                    'cells that are returned in the search
                    If FoundCells Is Nothing Then
                        Set FoundCells = c
                    Else
                        Set FoundCells = Union(c, FoundCells)
                    End If
                    'find the next instance of "rec"
                    Set c = .Cells.FindNext(c)
                Loop While Not c Is Nothing And firstaddress <> c.Address
                        
                'after entire sheet searched, select all found cells
               Set wkbQuelle = Workbooks.Open(FoundCells.Offset(0, -2).Value)
               wkbQuelle.Sheets(1).Name = ("Profile")
               
               'Example Copy Age
                ThisWorkbook.Range("C2").Copy
                ActiveWorkbook.Range("B2").Paste
               
        strDateTime = Format(Date, "dd/mm/yy") & " " & Format(Time, "hh-mm-ss")
         
         
        FolderPath = tmpSheet.Cells(3, 3).Value
                
        
        Filename = ("_" & ActiveWorkbook.Name)
        
        
       FinalFileName = strDateTime & Filename 
        
        wkbQuelle.Sheets(1).Columns.AutoFit
        Call FrontendStatus
        wkbQuelle.SaveAs Filename:=FolderPath & FinalFileName , FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False
        Application.ScreenUpdating = True
        wkbQuelle.Close SaveChanges:=False
        End If
        
        End With
        
        End Sub



What I have tried

I tried to store a temporary value i.e the workbook name in a 'tempValue' As String and pass that value in 'Add_Age' subroutine. But, then the problem is either tempvalue is not passed in the Add_Age or if it is passed then I can't call the 'Add_Age' because the macro names becomes 'Add_Age(Byval tempValue As String)'. Any solution to achieve this? Thank you.

VBA Code:
Sub FindMatch()
        Dim tmpValue As String
        For Each w In wsRng
                    For Each s In shRng
            
                        If w = s Then Run s.Offset(0, 1).Value
                        tmpValue = s.Offset(0, 1).Value
                        
                    Next s
                   
                Next w


     Sub Add_Age(ByVal tempValue As String)
    Dim wb As Workbook
            Dim wb2 As Workbook
            Dim WS1 As Worksheet
            Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
            Set WS1 = wb.Worksheets("Profiles")
            Dim c As Range, FoundCells As Range
            Dim firstaddress As String
            Dim Wrkbk As Workbook
            Dim wkbQuelle As Workbook
            Dim strDateTime As String
            Dim autOrdner As String
            Dim FileName As String
            Dim FinalFileName As String
            Dim tmpWB As Workbook
            
            Set tmpWB = ThisWorkbook
            Dim tmpSheet As Worksheet
            Set tmpSheet = tmpWB.Sheets("StandardPaths") 

            Application.ScreenUpdating = False
            With Sheets("Profiles").Range("D1:D50")
                'find first cell that contains "rec"
                Set c = .Find(tempValue, LookIn:=xlValues)
 

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
Try it like
VBA Code:
   For Each s In shRng
      If w = s Then Run s.Offset(0, 1).Value, s.Offset(0, 1).Value
   Next s
