IF LOOP in VBA Function

Question

I made two excel sheet. one contains information as below

Date            Name            Quantity
12/7/2013   Bharat Sapte        12
12/7/2013   Ghorpade            10
14/7/2013   Desmukh             30
17/7/2013   Ghorpade            35

and for second sheet

Name         Date            Date
             12/07/2013
Ghorpade     _**_            _**__

here in ** marked area it should check the condition with first sheet and automatically fill up the Quantity in second sheet

how to make this program for too many entries.

Answer 1

As said in the comments to your question, a Pivot table could do the job. A somewhat more static approach is to

1. create a "key column" as a string concatenation of date & name before the Quantity column (can be hidden)
2. use a =VLOOKUP(...) function to retrieve the quantity whereby the search argument is constructed from dates (column headers) and names (row headers) of the result table

The formulas in B9 and B10 are

• B9: =VLOOKUP(B$8&$A9;$C$2:$D$5;2;FALSE)
• B10: =VLOOKUP(C$8&$A9;$C$2:$D$5;2;FALSE)

Mind the usage of $ to make rows (date) and columns (name) absolute to make copying easy; and replace my ";" by "," in the formulas if you use the English locale.
