What format are the original (5) files in?Are they text, csv, or excel files? What is the relationship between the 90,000 records and the other 5 files?That is, do the records show up once in the list of 90,000 and show up multiple times in the 5 files?What are the "key" field? (those in common that "relate" the two records?)For instance, an "Order Number", or ?? First: for a set of records of this size, I would NOT use vlookup.The problem with vlookup is that it executes each time a "calculation" is done on the workbook, even though it already has an answer. So, if you have 90,000 vlookups, and change the heading, it executes 90,000 times. I would definitely use a Dictionary object. HOW I'd use it would depend on the relationship between the files If you could send me some sample files, I'd be glad to throw something together for you to look at.

From 5 Files I need to fetch the Data Corresponding to that Orders nos Ya Columns value, Each file has specific data related to master Orders nos, Manual Vlookup i can use I know that to get the data from files, Now I want to automate this process Which is the fastest way to get the data from all file Please suggest the correct one 1. Whether i should use vlookups in the VBA to get the data present in others files corresponding to order no, 2. Do i need to use Loops for efficient checking of data 3. Should i use Dictionary object and store the orders no and use this techniques. I know how to do this but Still looking for the faster one.
