I've managed to create a macro that will take up to ten columns from one
sheet and combine them with up to ten columns from another sheet. It's
working as well as I could have hoped, but I'm positive that there are ways
to make the macro far more effecient than it currently is. For instance, for
each column I have an individual process to handle picking the column from
sheet1 and combining it with the column from sheet2 10 times - I'm sure this
process could be written to loop 10 times off one bit of code, but I'm
uncertain how to do it. Ideally, however, I would like to be able to define
how many columns I wish to combine on a sheet - again I have a vague idea
that it would involve setting a variable input by the user and then possibly
using that variable in a for next loop but I really don't know enough to get
this working.
The code for the macro is below, I'm not sure if I can attach an example
workbook to this post? Hopefully it makes some sense, and any suggestions,
ideas or improvements you can suggest will be most appreciated!
