Excel VBA to match rows and rows

I have an Excel document with columns A to J. I have columns K to N with related data but not aligned.

I need to match the value from the value in column F with the value in column K so that they line up. When I shift K, I have to shift L, M, N together.

I cannot sort AJ columns - they must remain in place.

Example to:

A     B     C     D     E     F        G     H     I     J     K       L     M     N

data  data  data  data  data  record1  data  data  data  data  record3 data  data  data

data  data  data  data  data  record2  data  data  data  data  record1 data  data  data

data  data  data  data  data  record3  data  data  data  data  

data  data  data  data  data  record4  data  data  data  data

Example after:

A     B     C     D     E     F        G     H     I     J     K       L     M     N

data  data  data  data  data  record1  data  data  data  data  record1 data  data  data

data  data  data  data  data  record2  data  data  data  data  

data  data  data  data  data  record3  data  data  data  data  record3 data  data  data

data  data  data  data  data  record4  data  data  data  data

The easiest way is likely to be ADO.

Dim cn As Object
Dim rs As Object
Dim strFile As String
Dim strCon As String
Dim strSQL As String
Dim s As String
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer

''This is not the best way to refer to the workbook
''you want, but it is very convenient for notes
''It is probably best to use the name of the workbook.

strFile = ActiveWorkbook.FullName

''Note that if HDR=No, F1,F2 etc are used for column names,
''if HDR=Yes, the names in the first row of the range
''can be used.
''This is the Jet 4 connection string, you can get more
''here : http://www.connectionstrings.com/excel

strCon = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & strFile _
    & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1"";"

''Late binding, so no reference is needed

Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

cn.Open strCon

strSQL = "SELECT * " _
       & "FROM [Sheet2$A1:J5] a " _
       & "LEFT JOIN [Sheet2$K1:N5] b " _
       & "ON a.F=b.k "

rs.Open strSQL, cn, 3, 3


''Pick a suitable empty worksheet for the results

Worksheets("Sheet3").Cells(2, 1).CopyFromRecordset rs

''Tidy up
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
cn.Close
Set cn = Nothing

Sort K - M columns and move them further (for example, in XZ)

K-M VLOOKUP(), X-Z F.

, # INDEX() X-Z K-L MATCH(). .

A-J , F,

X-Z X,

N =MATCH((Value in F),(XYZ Table),FALSE) #N/A,

K =IF( NOT( ISNA(Value in N) ), INDEX((X Table), (Value in N) ), "")

L =IF( NOT( ISNA(Value in N) ), INDEX((Y Table), (Value in N) ), "")

M =IF( NOT( ISNA(Value in N) ), INDEX((Z Table), (Value in N) ), "")

VBA, .
