    Copy columns from one sheet to another if the header matches

    Hi all-

    I have been cracking my brain on this for hours!
    The goal is to copy and paste a column whose header contains "Median" from Sheet1 into Column A of Sheet 2. Likewise copy a column which contains within it's header the word "sample" from Sheet 1 into Col B of Sheet 2 column B

    Please help! Thanks in advance

    Hello Newbie111,

    Welcome to the Forum!

    To make your posts easier to read, copy, and edit please wrap your code. Here is how you can do it next time.

    How to wrap your Code using the # icon
    1. Select all your code using the mouse.
    2. Click on the # icon on the toolbar in the Message window. This will automatically wrap the text you selected with the proper Code tags to create a Code Window in your post.

    To manually wrap your code, use these Bulletin Board Code Tags
    [code]Please [url=https://www.excelforum.com/login.php]Login or Register [/url] to view this content.[/code] at the end of the last line.

    Sincerely,

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.
    2. Thank those who have helped you by clicking the Star below the post.
    3. Please mark your post [SOLVED] if it has been answered satisfactorily.

    Hi

    Can you please review our forum rules, and make sure you enclose any code in code tags. I've edited your post for you this time.

    The code below will copy the columns to the nominated positions. However, I gather from your code that there may be multiple columns that match the criteria. If so, then where are they to go? OR do you only want the last one found to be copied over?

    I did wrap the code. Is this not correctly done?
