Using sheet references in VBA on a VLOOKUP

[PittTrack]

I have been reading the forum for a while and have usually found what I needed from a search. This time that’s not the case… thus the post. I’m not the best coder so I use the macro recording to do some of my dirty work. If you have another idea besides how I did something in my example please post the whole macro or just correct it in the code and then attach the spreadsheet, thanks

I have three worksheets (orig [sheet1], hubs [sheet2], non hubs [sheet3]). The sheet named ORIG is the original data which gets pasted in every day so the rows are dynamic, the columns are static though. I have gotten one macro (OrigTabChanges) to do what I need on the ORIG tab. Once that is done I need to copy some of the data into Sheet2 (named HUBS) and other data into Sheet3 (named non hubs) from Sheet1

I thought about doing a INDEX/MATCH on it but I couldn’t get that to go so I used the VLOOKUP instead.

Below is the one formula used from the Macro Recorder.
[vba] ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-1],orig!R[1]C[-1]:R[5523]C[10],2,FALSE)" [/vba]
I want to make it so that I don’t have to do the active cell but rather use a range that is dynamic similar to below: (this don’t work)
[vba]
Sheet2.Range("C3:C" & OriginalRowsCounted).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=VLOOKUP(RC[-1],Sheet1.R[1]C[-1]:M & HubRowsCounted]C[10],2,FALSE)"
[/vba] So can it be done and how?


Edited: Removed attachement since it might have confused others.
(Data was modified from original data so it was useless to others)

Well I steped out for a bit and got an idea.... Here is a formula that works for all the data in column C, I just need to make more lines to fill the other columns (C-M)

Here is what I have... hopefully it helps someone

[vba]
Sub HubTabChanges()

Dim rngLookupValue As Range
Dim rngtable As Range
Dim lngColIndex As Long
Dim blnRangeLookup As Boolean

OrigRowsCounted = Sheet1.UsedRange.Rows.Count
HubRowsCounted = Sheet2.UsedRange.Rows.Count
Set rngLookupValue = Sheet2.Range("B2:B" & HubRowsCounted)
Set rngtable = Sheet1.Range("B3:M" & OrigRowsCounted)
lngColIndex = 2
blnRangeLookup = False

Sheet2.Range("C2:C" & HubRowsCounted).Formula = _
Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(rngLookupValue, rngtable, lngColIndex, blnRangeLookup)

End Sub
[/vba]

[vba]


Sheet2.Range("C3:C" & OriginalRowsCounted).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=VLOOKUP(RC[-1],Sheet1!R[1]C[-1]:R[" & HubRowsCounted & "]C[10],2,FALSE)"
[/vba]
