Vlookup in VBA

I don't manage to make VLookUp function work in VBA, when working with 2 different excel files. I have tried at least 5 or 6 different suggestion found on Internet, with no positive result. I can send the file with the code and the data if you give me an e-mail address.
Thanks a lot,
Susanna

RE: Vlookup in VBA

Hi Susanna,

Please change the variable OrdNum from string to long:

Dim OrdNum As Long

This is the only thing you need to do to make it work.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Reconciling a list to correspond with another

May have a list that needs to make but on another sheet one list seems to be out, eg. product list one sheet contains all product and inventory data, while the other contains pricing data. Both need to match with all products but there is more products in one list than the other. To find the disparaging product compare data in the two columns that need to match Make sure that order the same way.
Create another column in the sheet that has the most items and type in the first cell

=Exact(text1,text2) text1 being the cell that you want compared with text2 cell reference. Drag to filldown and your first false will give you for first cells that does not match. Correct insert the row with data in other sheet and continue the process until all the data returns true. Delete the column inserted.
