    Exclamation Macro to search Specific Records and Create Link

    I have a workbook that imports web data (company Income Statements) to sheet1. Sheet2 has formula that manipulate the data imported on sheet1. The problem is that the data imported differs by company. Some imports have 70 line items (rows) others have more or less, which in turn, affects the order the items are listed in. The columns are used for years.

    ......................2009 2008 2007
    Revenue..........1.81 1.70 1.60
    etc
    etc

    I need a macro that can search sheet 1 for specific cell data (i.e. Revenue & 2009, Revenue and 2008 etc) and create links to specific cells on Sheet2 where the existing formula can perform the calculations. I have been manually creating the links (over 30 links per company), because I can't figure out how to implement Vlookup or Index and Match. Can someone please help with some example code, or provide me a link to some "easier to understand" documentation that could help me. Thanks in advance.

    Re: Need help with Macro to Find then Create Link

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

    If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.

    Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!
