Excel VBA index match a csv import

How can I use an index match function in VBA to find values in a CSV file then import those values to the matched index in a cell in Excel? Say I have a CSV file which contains the following comma deliminated text:



lookup1, 2



lookup2, 3



And the following data in Sheet2 in Excel:



B2 = lookup1



C2 = 0



B3 = lookup2



C3 = 0



How do I use an index match to find the value 2 in the second column for "lookup1" in the CSV file and then change the value to 2 in cell C2 in Excel?



I've tried the code below but it doesn't work and I don't think it's looking in the Excel sheet to match where the value needs to go



Sub Tester()

Dim arr1

arr1 = CsvToArray(Application.GetOpenFilename)

Debug.Print TestLookup(arr1, "lookup1", 1, 2)

End Sub

Function TestLookup(arr, val, lookincol As Integer, returnfromcol As Integer)
Dim r
r = Application.Match(val, Application.Index(arr, 0, lookincol), 0)
If Not IsError(r) Then
TestLookup = arr(r, returnfromcol)
Else
TestLookup = "Not found" 'or some other "error" value
End If
End Function

Function CsvToArray(filepath As String) As Variant
Dim wb As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wb = Application.ActiveWorkbook
CsvToArray = wb.Sheets("Sheet2").Range("C2").CurrentRegion.Value
End Function


Thanks!

Your CSV file needs to be formatted with a proper header.



In plain text it would look like:



lookup1,lookup2
2,3


Would comment but not ranked high enough yet.
