Hi Sam, I apologize for not being clear, i was sure how to pose the question. I have two spreadsheets. One with a menu with a bunch of criteria (of which you can select the criteria you want by placing an "X" in a designated area ). The second spreadsheet will have data i need to search through. So based on the selections on the menu page, i want it to loop through the data on the data page a find the criteria selections in the data sheet and pick the data in that row and post it in a new tab/worksheet.
-Matt I have two pieces of code i've been trying to work with but am unsure how to connect them. The first one reads a menu and the ranges and thats it. The second one, will create a new tab with search results. How can i get the two codes to work together? to read the menu and produce the results... 1) 'reads the menu Sub Read_Geographic_Menu() Sheets("Selections").Select Range("A1").Select i_state = 0 g_num_select_states = 0 For icol = 1 To STATES_NUM_COLS For irow = 1 To STATES_PER_COL i_state = i_state + 1 g_state_select(i_state) = False g_state_postal(i_state) = Trim(Range("m6StatePostal" & icol).Cells(irow)) g_state_name(i_state) = Trim(Range("m6StatesNames" & icol).Cells(irow)) g_state_id_number(i_state) = i_state If Range("m6States" & icol).Cells(irow) <> "" Then g_state_select(i_state) = True g_num_select_states = g_num_select_states + 1 End If Next irow Next icol End Sub 2) searches for data (in this case "FHCX") and pulls the column data i need. Sub ServiceReport() ' Copy the selected range to the Report worksheet Dim WSD As Worksheet ' Data worksheet Dim WSR As Worksheet ' Report worksheet Set WSD = Worksheets("Data") ' Add a new worksheet to this workbook Set WSR = Worksheets.Add(after:=Worksheets("Data")) ' Rename the new worksheet & set up titles WSR.Name = "Service" WSR.Cells(1, 1) = "Service Report" WSR.Cells(1, 1).Font.Size = 14 WSD.Range("A1:E1").Copy Destination:=WSR.Cells(3, 1) NextRow = 4 ' Loop through all records on WSD FinalRow = WSD.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row For i = 2 To FinalRow If WSD.Cells(i, 2) = "FHCX" Then ' Copy this record to the next row on WSR WSD.Cells(i, 1).Resize(1, 5).Copy Destination:=WSR.Cells(NextRow, 1) NextRow = NextRow + 1 End If Next i ' Make sure WSR is the active sheet WSR.Select ' Report that the macro is done MsgBox Prompt:=NextRow - 4 & " service records copied to the service report."
