Matching 2 sheets with a macro

[nickyd]

If I have a list (in sheet 1) of names listed in column "a" and numbers listed in column "b" and the same thing (on sheet 2) and I want to run a macro that takes the data from (sheets 1 and 2) and lists the matching names in column "a" (in sheet 3) and the number associated with the name (in sheet 1) in column b and the number from (sheet 2) in column c

How would I do this?

I hope this question is understandable. I struggled just trying to write the question so any help with how to do this would be GREATLY appreciated.

Sincerely, Nick

Hello Nickyd,

This macro uses Sheet1, Sheet2, and Sheet3. The lists are on Sheet1 and Sheet1. Both lists start at "A1". The lists don't need to be sorted nor the same length for the macro to work. The matches are copied to Sheet3 starting at cell "A1". Sheet3 is cleared each time the macro is run.

Leith,

First, I can't believe you even figured out what I was asking for let alone provide me the completed code...but obviously you did and it works like a charm. Wow, looking at the code I would have never figured out how to do it.

I will use this macro very often.

THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!!

Sincerely, Nick
