Currently, i have a table with multiple columns. And I want to compare the values in columns name "beneficiary name" and "sender name" using IF function
And i want to do this until the very last row of the available data

the expected outcome is :
If the value in beneficiary name = value in sender name , then it will return value as "own" else it will return as "third party"

P/s : I have alrdy create a VBA to automatically add a column name "type" at the right of the table
And now i wan the value for the IF function show in this column.

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.

Perhaps you could share that code so we don't have to guess what tables are called, where things are etc and can make a fairly simple addition to your existing code?

Sure, this is so far what i have right now. Didn't manage to came out the code for the IF function as I really have no idea how to do it. So sorry

VBA Code:
Dim source as range, ws as worksheet

Set source = Range("A1").Currentregion
Set ws = Thisworkbook.sheets("Source")
ws.listobjects.add(SourceType:=xlsrcrange, source:=source, _
xllistobjecthasheaders:=xlyes, tablestylename:="TableStyleMedium27").Name="Table 1"

With ws.ListObjects ("Table 1")
.ListColumns.Add.Name = "Type"
End with

End sub

Try this code with a copy of your workbook.

VBA Code:
Sub test()
  Dim rsource As Range, ws As Worksheet
  
  Set rsource = Range("A1").CurrentRegion
  Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Source")
  ws.ListObjects.Add(SourceType:=xlSrcRange, source:=rsource, _
    xllistobjecthasheaders:=xlYes, tablestylename:="TableStyleMedium27").Name = "Table_1"
  
  With ws.ListObjects("Table_1")
    .ListColumns.Add.Name = "Type"
    .DataBodyRange(.Range.Columns.Count).Formula = "=IF([@[beneficiary name]]=[@[sender name]],""own"",""third party"")"
  End With
End Sub

Hi peter! Thanks so much for the help, this works perfectly fine. But just a quick question . the code .DataBodyRange(.Range.Columns.Count).Formula = , is it possible for me to use it with diff excel formula besides the IF functions?

Sure, you could any formula you want in the column.
