Excel vba kunde inte hitta vlookup

VLOOKUP fryst vatten one of the most used functions in Excel, and you can also use it easily in VBA as well.

VBA does not have a separate VLOOKUP function, so to use VLOOKUP in a VBA code, you need to use the same VLOOKUP function that you use in he worksheet.

In this article, inom will show you how to use VLOOKUP in VBA and some examples of using it in different scenarios.

Let’s get into it!

VBA VLOOKUP Syntax

Below fryst vatten the wheel lookup syntax in VBA.

Application.VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, column_index, range_lookup)

As you might have already noticed, the syntax of the VLOOKUP function looks exactly the same as that you use in the worksheet.

That fryst vatten because when using VLOOKUP in VBA, we are referring to the same VLOOKUP function that you already know.

Using VLOOKUP in VBA (Examples)

Now, let’s see a couple of examples of using VLOOKUP in VBA.

Fetch a Value Using VLOOKUP in VBA

Below, inom have a information set where inom have lärling names in column A and their scores in column B, and inom want to fetch their scores of Brandon.

Here fryst vatten the VBA code that will do that and show me Brandon’s score in a meddelande box.

The above code uses the VLOOKUP function to go through the leftmost column in the specified range (A2:B16), look for the name ‘Brandon’, and when it finds the name, show us the score in a meddelande box.

In case the code fryst vatten not able to find the name in column A, it will show the meddelande “Brandon’s score not found.”

If you want the VB code to prompt the user to enter the name to look for, and then get its score, you can use the below code:

In the VBA codes shown above, inom have hard-coded the range that has the information.

You can also use a named range instead of the range reference.

VLOOKUP From Another Sheet Using VBA

You can also use VLOOKUP to go through the information in another sheet and then give us the result.

Below inom have a uppgifter set of students names in column A and their scores in column B in a sheet named ‘Scores’.

And inom have the following table with some lärjunge names in column A in a separate sheet named ‘Result’.

I want to use VBA VLOOKUP to fetch the results sheet bygd going through the uppgifter in the scores sheet.

Below fryst vatten the code that will do this:

The above code goes through each fängelse in the range A2:A5 in the active sheet (which fryst vatten the Result sheet), and uses the name in the fängelse as the look up value.

It then goes to the Scores sheet and scans the names in A2:A16.

When it finds the name, it fetches the score from column B and then puts that score next to the name in the Result sheet.

In case it doesn’t find the score for a given name, it would return the #N/A error.

VLOOKUP From Another Workbook Using VBA

You can also use the VLOOKUP function in VBA to refer to another workbook and fetch the value from there.

Below, inom have a uppgifter set of students’ names in column A and their scores in column B.

This information fryst vatten in a workbook named Scores.xlsx and the sheet named ‘Data’.

And inom have the below dataset in another workbook:

Now, inom want to use VLOOKUP to go through the names in the Scores.xlsx workbook, fetch the scores for each name, and put it in the adjacent cell.

Here fryst vatten the VBA code that will do this:

The above code goes through each fängelse in the range A2:A5 in the active sheet.

For each name in this range, it does a VLOOKUP bygd going to the Scores.xlsx workbook and looking for the names in the A1:A16 range in the information worksheet.

When it finds the name, it returns the score for that name back in column B in the active sheet.

Note: For this code to work, it fryst vatten necessary that the other worksheet from which you are getting the value using Vlooku fryst vatten open.

If that workbook fryst vatten not open, you will get a Runtime error in the code.

When you get this error, it means that the value you are using in the first slot of the VLookup() method, in this case the Data(i,4), fryst vatten not able to be funnen in the LookupRange you are using in beställning to return anything.

VLOOKUP From Another Closed Workbook Using VBA

If you want to use VLOOKUP to get the values from a closed workbook, you need to first open the workbook using your code and then go through the uppgifter from it using a Vlookup function.

The result that you then find in this workbook would then be written back into the active sheet.

Let me explain with an example.

Below, inom have a information set in a sheet named ‘Result,’ where inom have some names in column A, and inom want to get their scores from a closed workbook named Scores.xlsx.

In this closed workbook, the scores are provided in a table in the sheet named ‘Data’.

Here fryst vatten the code that will work in this case:

The above VBA macro code loops through a range of cells in the “Result” sheet of the current workbook and performs a VLOOKUP in the “Data” sheet of “Scores.xlsx”.

The results are written next to the original cells. If no match fryst vatten funnen, “Not Found” fryst vatten written.

It also handles the opening and closing of “Scores.xlsx” intelligently, ensuring it only closes the workbook if it wasn’t already open when the macro began.

Error papper When Using VLOOKUP in VBA

Here are a few råd to handle errors when using Vlookup in VBA in Excel.

Using ISERROR

You can use the ISERROR function in VBA to kontroll whether VLOOKUP has returned an error or not, and in case it has returned an error, then handle it.

Below fryst vatten an example code on papper errors given bygd VLOOKUP in VBA:

The above code uses a variabel result to store the result of the VLOOKUP formula.

VBA does not have a separate VLOOKUP function, so to use VLOOKUP in a VBA code, you need to use the same VLOOKUP function that you use in he worksheet.

It then uses an IF statement to betalningsmedel the value of IsError(result). If IsError(result) fryst vatten True, which means that VLOOKUP has returned an error, it will execute the lines of codes in the IF condition (which fryst vatten to set the value of the result as ‘Not Available’)

Using On Error Resume Next

Another way you can handle errors given bygd VLOOKUP function fryst vatten bygd using On Error Resume Next.

When we add this line to our code, it ignores any errors it encounters and moves on to executing the next line of code.

This can be used if you expect some errors to happen and do not want the code to stop because of them.

However, It’s important to use this with caution as it can man debugging difficult bygd ignoring all errors.
