How do I reference my primary workbook and the second workbook I open through this sub procedure? I attempt to do workbooks.("client_path").activate
as my goal with this macro is to open a separate workbook, which is assigned to variable client_path
and reconcile every (1 to 200) values in column A:A with all the values of column K:K of my primary workbook. If a value is found on the client_path
workbook (again column A:A), but not on my primary workbook (again column K:K) - I would like to add the unique value to column M:M of my primary workbook. Opposite logic, I would like any value found on my primary workbook but not found on my client_path
workbook to appear in column N:N of my primary workbook.
The name of my the primary workbook which I am developing this code is title "Client DIRTY watchlist" The contents of workbook client_path
update daily and are useless as time passes.
Do I need to create a function to accomplish this variable workbook reference?
Sub Client_Dirty_Recon()
Dim Client_path As String
Dim Client_watchlist As Workbook
Dim Client_client_email As Workbook
Set Client_watchlist = ActiveWorkbook
Dim email_range As Range
Dim watchlist_range As Range
Application.ScreenUpdatClient = False
Client_path = Range("Path")
Workbooks.Open Client_path
Dim recon_list As Range
'For Each n In recon_list:
Dim i As Variant
For i = 1 To 200
Set email_range = ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("A" & i)
Dim b As Variant
For Each b In email_range
Set watchlist_range = Sheets("Client DIRTY watchlist").Range("B:B")
'if b
Next b
Next i
End Sub
Can you just make references to your workbook earlier?
Dim wb as workbook
Dim wbDirty as workbook
set wb = thisWorkbook
set wbDirty = workbooks.open Client_Path
Then when you define the ranges, Excel knows which workbook they belong to.
Dim rngReconcile as range
Dim rngWatch as range
set rngReconcile = wb.Sheets(1).Range("K:K")
set rngWatch = wbDirty.Sheets("Client DIRTY watchlist").Range("B:B")
Then continue on with your looping code
dim Wb as workbook
set wb= Workbooks.Open (Client_path).activate
this opens, and activates it all in one line, an sets a variable for later use (wb).
note that refering later to wb will NOT open it again, and NOT activate it again, its just reference to the wb ! (unless you tell him to)
