Record and Excel Macro and it will do the coding for you. Then if you need to customise, it becomes very easy.

Also, your question sounds very much like this one that I answered earlier: Copy/paste data from sheet1 to sheet2 by matching rows by value in column 1[^]

I want it to do using C# code.

Still, when working with Excel, you need to know what the commands are... Recording Macros to see what they are is the first step.
