Hi All,
I was hoping that someone could please help me with some VBA code to automate a process.
I have 2 pages in my spread sheet the first looks like this:

A2B2C2D2E2
ID.TypeAGECategoryScore
669972159N3
132125524Y9
151515131N3
393838165Y56
787897323Y2

The second contains the below categories.
I'd like to automate the process so the information in sheet 1 is compared to the matrix in sheet 2 and on a third page the Id number is listed with the applicable code.

i.e
In the example of ID 669972 they are a type 1 their age is 59 and they are a N category their score is 3 therefore ID. 669972 = Code 130

In the example of ID 393838 they are a type 1 their age is 65 their category is Y and their score is 2 = ID 393838 Code 136

A2B2C2D2E2
TypeAge CategoryScoreCode
50-17Y123
518-64Y124
565+Y125
10-17Y>17126
10-17Y<17127
10-17Y0128
118-64N>14129
118-64N<14130
118-64N0131
118-64Y>14132
118-64Y<14133
118-64Y0134
165+Y>15135
165+Y<15136
165+Y0137
20-17Y>12138
20-17Y<12139
20-17Y0140
218-64Y>10141
218-64Y<10142
218-64Y0143
265+Y>11144
265+Y<11145
265+Y0146
30-17Y>12147
30-17Y<12148
30-17Y0149
318-64Y>11150
318-64Y<11151
318-64Y0152
365+Y>11153
365+Y<11154
365+Y0155
40-17Y>9156
40-17Y<9157
40-17Y0158
418-64Y>8159
418-64Y<8160
418-64Y0161
465+Y>9162
465+Y<8163
465+Y0164
90-17Y0165
918-64Y0166
965+Y0167

I'd really appreciate assistance it would make my work life so much easier.
Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
  1. Are you still using Excel 2013?

  2. Would you be open to slightly changing the layout of the second sheet if that made the process a bit easier?

  3. In the example below, what would be the result if their score was 17? Asking because your table only gives >17 and <17
In the example of ID 669972 they are a type 1 their age is 59 and they are a N category their score is 3 therefore ID. 669972 = Code 130

Similarly, down the bottom of your sheet 2 table you have a score section that shows >9 and <8. That doesn't allow for a score of 8 or 9 or anything in between.

BTW, are scores always whole numbers?

Thanks for the response Peter.
I can definitely change the format of the sheets if it is easier.
Yes to excel 2013. (Organisational choice....)
Sorry it should be =<17 etc
We round up to whole numbers.
Thanks so much for considering the problem.

Thanks for the clarifications. My suggestions below may need a bit of tweaking but I think should allow a solution in the end.

First some changes to the second sheet.
  1. I have split the Age ranges into two columns. The yellow 200 values could be something else so long as they are at least as large as the greatest age you will ever have in the data. There is no actual need for the original age brackets column (B) but you may choose to keep it anyway.

  2. I have made the Score column into two columns so we can represent the relevant score ranges. The yellow 1000 values could be something else so long as they are at least as large as the greatest score you will ever have in the data. There is no actual need for the original score column (F) but you may choose to keep it anyway. In your sample data some of the score cells are empty or simply equal to zero. I wasn't certain what to do with those rows so they may need changing.
I have also assumed that the 'Code' column contains actual numbers, not numbers stored as text.
