Question

Hi,

I have something of the following :

Sheet 1

(Name Range : Code)
Column A -------- Column B

School ------------ 1
College ----------- 2
University--------- 3

Sheet 2
Cell A1 = (Search for "College" in Name Range Code and get the Value of "2" as code. ) So value of 2 should be present in Cell A1.

Please provide excel VBA

Answer 1

Use the VLOOKUP function.

Which is Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookUp in VBA.

Answer 2

This works for me:

Sub LookUpValue()
    Dim searchValue As String
    Dim lookupTable As Range

    Set lookupTable = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("Code")
    searchValue = "College"

    Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1") = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(searchValue, lookupTable, 2, False)

 End Sub

Hope this helps...
