Hi,

I want to read a particular application from a excel (current) and count it the number of times it has appeared in the excel.
Then in my master excel i have defined these applications, i want to create a column with name as "Aug 20" and corresponding to the application in excel it should add the count in master excel.
If there are not applications found in current excel then in master excel i want to add the count value to corresponding application in master excel as 0.

Please let me know how this can be achieved. I am not getting the logic to do this.

Thanks!

This is rather simple to achive, but what have you tried?

Do you want to compare the data stored in 2 Excel sheets?
Do you really need vba? Can't you use Lookup or CountIf function?

As i wrote in comment, you need only CountIf worksheet function. But if you would like to do it with VBA code, OK, i'll show you an example. Below code is to use when both excel files (master and current) are opened.

Copy the code below and paste it into master file in new module :

VB

Dim srcwsh as Worsheet, dstwsh As Worksheet
Dim i as Integer, j As Integer, counter as Integer
Dim sAppName As String

Set dstWsh = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
Set srcWsh = Application.Workbooks("current.xls").Worksheets(1)
counter = 0
i = 2 'start from row no. 2 in srcwsh
j = 2 'start from row no. 2 in dstwsh
Do While srcwsh.Range("A" & i)<>""
    sAppName = srcwsh.Range("A" & i)
    Do While dstwsh.Range("A" & j)<>""
        If dstwsh.Range("A" & j) = sAppname Then counter = counter + 1
    Loop
    srcwsh.Range("B" & i) = counter
    counter = 0 'new application, so reset counter    
Loop

This is not optimal code, because it compares data row by row (cell by cell), but it shows "logic".
