Iterative Macro - Multiple VLOOKUPs

JeffJeffrey12

Hello everyone,

 

I am trying to generate a "path" of managers.

 

Basicly I want to have it in my data after the Iterative Macro like this:

USERIDManagerManager2Manager3Manager4
ABCDE
BCDE 
CDE  
DE   
E    

 

 

This is my first time trying to create a macro.

This was my approach - attached.

 

Maybe someone has an idea and can help out?

 

Right now I am doing like 20 "Find/Replace" modules after each other which isnt really looking nice and is complicated to manage if I want to change something.

 

Thanks in advance!

I didn't have time to get back to this topic yet but I will check on it, whenever I can.

 

Thanks so far @Armon24

@Armon24 It helped.

 

But I have a further question.

 

Imagine following dataset:

 Hierarchy         
User12345678910
zbcdefghij 
hyxwvlk    

 

As you can see User "h" has his own hierarchy as well as being inside the hierarchy of User "z".

I would need a way - maybe another iterative macro - to automatically check all hierarchy levels for the Users and if found to attach the Users Hierarchy to the one found from the level its found in.

 

In this example I would need to have two rows of hierarchy for User "z":

 Hierarchy         
User12345678910
zbcdefghij 
zyxwvlkhij 

 

 

I hope I could explain what I am trying to solve manually somehow right now.
