use Vlookup rather than a macro, eg in sheet1, location column:
=vlookup(A1,sheet2!A1:E65000,4,FALSE)

Hi Rishi,

Try using Excel's VLookup funtion.

See Debra Dalgleish's tutorial at:


Excel -- Worksheet Functions -- VLookup

It's not easy to see exacly how your data are laid out so I've made some
assumptions.

ID on sheet1 is in column A and your data in sheet2 are in columns A to E
and Location is in column 4 and country is in column 5. So try:-

=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!A2:E16,4,FALSE) placed in B2 sheet1 to return loc
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!A2:E16,5,FALSE) placed in C2 sheet1 to return city

etc

Use VLOOKUP or a macro that uses FIND to find the id in the source sheet and
get the .value from the offset cells. Something like: UN tested
for each c in range("idrange")
with sheets("source")
x=.columns(1).find(c).row
..cells(x,2).resize(,3).copy cells(c.row,2)
end with
next c
