How can I update the remaining stock of fruits on workbook ("productinventory") based on the Total on my workbook ("productmovement")?

sorry im just a newbie in VBA
here is my current code

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim lastrow, cell As Long

Dim a, b As Integer
a = 1
lastrow = Sheets("Sheet2").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Do While Cells(a, 1).Value <> ""
Cells(a, 1).Value
b = Cells(a, 1).Offset(0, 1).Value
Workbooks("productinventory").Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:A" & lastrow).Find(What:=Cells(a, 1).Value, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole).Activate
' error here "run time error 438"
cell = ActiveCell.Row
Cells(sonsat, 2) = b
a = a + 1
Loop


End Sub
