Excel Automated Data Retrieval From Another Workbook - excel

Question

So I'm pretty new to excel formulas and got almost no experience with VBA. But I've come across with a problem that I need to solve.
So the scenario goes like this.
I've got two workbooks and I need to retrieve data to one workbook from another if the condition for a cell value is met. Let me explain with an example.
(C for columns, R for rows, x for random numbers)
I've got Workbook A as shown below:
And Workbook B with the same structure
So what I'm trying to achieve here is:
When I change/insert values in Workbook A, C3Rx there will be a conditional mechanism that will check for the value.
Let's say if C3R1's value is "1" on Workbook A, it should fill C1R1, C2R1 and C3R1 on Workbook B accordingly.
If the value is not "1", it just should keep scanning the Workbook A, C3 and when it meets the conditional requirement (C3Rx having the value of "1"), it should write it in and go to the next row (C1R(x+1)). Follow the procedure again and again. Scanning all values in Workbook A.
I've tried to make it work using VLOOKUP and some other functions together but it doesn't suit really well with my case. It works with spaces when the value does not meet the condition and also, I need to fill all the cells on C1 with the formula till the end. (considering I don't know how long it may go, that's not really a solution for me)
I think it's achievable with Macros but like I've said, I don't have much experience with VBA.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Have a good one.

Answer 1

I'm not exactly get what you mean.
Anyway below I am guessing on what you mean.
Below is what contains in Workbook-A sheet1 column A to C
Below is what contains in Workbook-B sheet1 column A to C
With the first condition that Workbook-A and Workbook-B are arlready open.... below is Workbook-A sheet1 where cell C4 and C7 fill with 1 value,
and after the button is clicked :
1. Cell A4 to C4 value in Workbook-A Sheet1 become the value of cell A4 to C4 value in Workbook-B Sheet1.
2. Cell A7 to C7 value in Workbook-A Sheet1 become the value of cell A7 to C7 value in Workbook-B Sheet1
Button1 is assign to a macro like this :
Sub test()
Set wbA = Workbooks("Test-A.xlsm").Sheets("Sheet1")
Set wbB = Workbooks("Test-B.xlsm").Sheets("Sheet1")
Set Rng = wbA.Range("C2", Range("C2").End(xlDown))
For Each cell In Rng
If cell.Value = 1 Then
r = cell.Row
wbA.Range("A" & r, "C" & r).Value = wbB.Range("A" & r, "C" & r).Value
'wbA.Range("A" & r, "C" & r).Interior.Color = vbRed
End If
Next
End Sub
The code will look to each value in column C (starts from row 2) in Workbook-A sheet1.
If the code find the value is 1 in row X of column C, then it copy row X of column A to C in Workbook-B sheet1.
That's if I'm not mistaken on what you mean.

Answer 2

Assumed that both workbooks already open.
Below is the beginning look of wb-A right after it's open :
Below is the beginning look of wb-B right after it's open :
Back to wb-A, after you examined the data, you decided that id-003 branch location is not London, but Madrid. So you type number 1 in the third column id-003 row. WB-A now look like this :
And what you expect is, if the code find any row in the third column of wb-A with value "1", then the code have to copy all the three columns of id-003 row then paste it to the last blank row in the emp_id column of wb-B. So, wb-B look like this :
Here is the code which has to be in wb-A module :
Sub test()
Set wbA = Workbooks("Test-A.xlsm").Sheets("Sheet1")
Set wbB = Workbooks("Test-B.xlsm").Sheets("Sheet1")
Set Rng = wbA.Range("C2", Range("C2").End(xlDown))
For Each cell In Rng
If cell.Value = 1 Then
Range(cell, cell.Offset(0, -2)).Copy Destination:= _
wbB.Range("A1000000").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
End If
Next
End Sub
Again, above is just my guessing because I'm still not clear what you want and how is the situation.
