okay i just started using VBA/macros today and im pretty pleased with my progress so far :) but hit a brick wall i think above my pay grade...
not looking for a bailout i'd like to understand this for the future. My job could really use these....
Data tab called "Quotation Tool":
UPDATED CURRN TAB Then I have a currency conv tab called "Currencies" (refreshed web data):
What I want to do: search the column for currency on data tab, find "CNY" or "HKD" or another currency. when it finds it i want to go corresponding "MSR" column cell and multiply that value by the cell in the "currencies" tab corresponding with the right currecy conversion then put result in that cell on the data tab.
I have been working on this for about 5 hours peicing together different codes from threads all over. what i have looks too basic for what i need:
UPDATED CODE FROM USER
Sub CurrencyConvTwo()
Dim cell As Range, currRng As Range, currCell As Range
With Worksheets("Currencies") '<--| reference "Currencies" sheet
Set currRng = .Range("A3", .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp)) '<--| set the range with all currencies acronyms
End With
With Worksheets("Quotation Tool") '<--| reference "Quotation Tool" sheet
For Each cell In .Range("L3", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "L").End(xlUp)) '<--| loop through its column L ("Currency") cells from row 3 down to last not empty one
Set currCell = currRng.Find(what:=cell.Value, LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole) '<--| try finding current currency in "Currencies" sheet currencies range
If Not currCell Is Nothing Then cell.Offset(, 3) = cell.Offset(, 3) * currCell.Offset(, 3) '<--| if found, substitute current cell three columns offset to its current value times "Currencies" sheet found currency cell 2 columns offset
Next cell
End With
End Sub
I actually managed to run macros across workbooks using different lookups and replacements but this is stumping me. your thoughts are appreciated!
