Find Method Returns Nothing To Variable
Sep 29, 2006
I have 2 worksheets, one called Summary and the other called LNB. Column A in both worksheets contain account numbers.
I am trying to tell excell to look at the LNB worksheet and find the account number that is on the summary worksheet. If the account number is found, then tell me the row, on the Summary worksheet, that the account was found.
The function returns "Empty" even though I know the accounts do exist on both sheets and I dont know why.
Here is the code ....

My .find function is only finding the 2nd value in a cell example If i look up the term " HOSE"
5/8 hose water Will return
5/8 heater hose will not
Basically what I am making is something I am calling a "what" button. It queries my database and returns all the part numbers with the term i put in and i thought it was working fine till i was testing it, did i do something to select this? I've tried xlpart and xl whole. Neither is working.
Here is the code below
Sub COPYPARTNUMBERINFO()Dim parttofind As String
Dim partcell As Range
Dim partref As Range
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="*******"
Range("t6:T10000:u6:U10000").Select
Selection.ClearContents
parttofind = InputBox("What is the number or discription")
[code].....

For some reason, it seems that this following line returns the value its supposed to be searching for instead of the range where it finds the value.

Here is my
Sub test()
Dim rFoundCell As Range
Dim lRow As Long
Dim lCol As Long
'Find method of VBA
Set rFoundCell = Range("A1")
Set rFoundCell = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:Z50").Find(What:="Datum/Tid", After:=rFoundCell, _
LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False)
'for anyof the two lines down I get the message "object variable OR block variable not set"
lRow = rFoundCell.Row

I have a spreadsheet form with all kind of values and what I want to do is to find a data in a worksheet named "Config" based on the spreadsheet activecell value. With the find row adress I return data of another column but same row (in the worksheet) in two diferent label captions. If the spreadsheet activecell value it was found in the worksheet everything is ok but if the value is not found I'm getting the message "Object variable or with block variable not set"....

I want the select case list of a ComboBox to be treated as a variable in order to shorten the code size. To clarify the problem, i post the code with what i want to do, but don't know how to do it that way.
Code:
Select Case ComboBox1.ListIndex
Case 0: y = "AT"
For j = 0 To 26
Case "j": y = sheets("name").Range("A(j)") 'Range A(j) is a string, so y as well, as seen in Case 0.
Next j
End Select
Is something like this possible?

I'm trying to use this Find Method and combine it with a countif or loop. Something that will count a number of occurences of a unique type of character. I'm looking to find all "F" characters in Bold, Italic and Size 16. Here's my find code that I'm trying to use. I can get it to work by itself but not along with a countif or loop.
Sub count_4()
Dim r As Range
Set r = Range("A1:A6")
With Application.FindFormat.Font
.Bold = True
.Italic = True
.Size = 16
End With
r.Find(What:="F", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, searchformat:=True, MatchCase:=True).Activate
End Sub

I am trying to sum the cells in a column from a variable starting row to a variable ending row. My problem is that I can not figure out how to use the "Range" method with variable values.
Below is what my code would look like if I was summing from I2 to I6 (hard coded)

If you have used Excel to download data from Bloomberg, you probably noticed that the function "BDH" can return an array of variable length. I was trying to design such a function but could not find a way.
The basic feature of a function like this is that it can be entered like an ordinary formula (not an array formula), but it returns multiple values. The values will be displayed in the range that has the formula as its top left corner.

I have a strange problem I cannot solve in that I'm trying to create an auto filter that returns records based on a date variable.
If I set the code to equal the date variable, it returns information. If I set the code to return records AFTER the date, it returns nothing.
Code to return records on the date:
Dim startdate As Date
startdate = Format((Now), "dd/mm/yyyy")
ActiveSheet.Range("A:B").AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:="=" & startdate
This returns data, however if I slightly amend it to get records on or after the date:
Code:
Dim startdate As Date
startdate = Format((Now), "dd/mm/yyyy")
ActiveSheet.Range("A:B").AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=">=" & startdate
It returns nothing. Is there a syntax problem in my code.

After doing a search, I need to ask an Excel 2003 question. I'm creating a tool to open three sparate workbooks. One is the driver and I need to use it to pull data from the second and then to place that data along with additional data into the third.
My driver data may consist of a single value or multiple values separated by semi-colons in a cell. A single value works fine. The first value in a multi-value condition works fine. the second find, however, gives me an object error. I'm using the " split" verb to separate the values. Here's my code. Have you any idea why the second find is throwing up this error when the first find works correctly?
varData = Split(strRef, ";", -1)
For J = 0 To UBound(varData)
varSrchVlu = Trim(varData(J))
' do the ARIS Exrtact matching
Workbooks(strManualFile).Activate
Workbooks(strARISExtract).Activate ' Activate ARIS Extract
Sheets("Processes").Cells(2, 1).Activate
Workbooks(strARISExtract).Sheets("Processes").Range("A2").Select
Workbooks(strARISExtract).Sheets("Processes").Columns("A:A").Select

The above vba command which is extract the data from the Other workbooks. It looks for the "Staff 001", "Staff 002"...these parameters to transfer the data to the worksheet. But, the "Staff 001" data must appear twice in each workbooks. If i use the above command, i only can extract the FIRST "Staff 001" average data. But SECOND "Staff 001" average data cannot extract. I know it may be use FindNext method to do this but i am not sure how to write it

I found this nice little bit of code for a date range search in column A but it will not work. Apparently i have not set a variable or something.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim startDate As String
Dim stopDate As String
Dim startRow As Integer
Dim stopRow As Integer
startDate = InputBox("Enter the Start Date: (dd/mm/yyyy)")
If startDate = "" Then End
stopDate = InputBox("Enter the Stop Date: (dd/mm/yyyy)")
If stopDate = "" Then End
startDate = Format(startDate, "dd/mm/yyyy")
stopDate = Format(stopDate, "dd/mm/yyyy")
startRow = Worksheets("sheet1").Columns("A").Find(startDate, _
LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole).Row
stopRow = Worksheets("sheet1").Columns("A").Find(stopDate, _
LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole).Row
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & startRow & ":A" & stopRow).Select
End Sub

My formula =IF(OR( FIND("Bugs",E2),FIND("Daffy",E2)),"/wkly",0). Always returns #VALUE! error. I can understand if neither value occurs in the string, what confounds me is if one of the two does occur in the string If I shorten to
=IF(FIND("Bugs",E2),"/wkly",0)
Then the expected output is returned

This code (partial) was written to interrogate a database. Cell "A2" of another tab contains a Part Number to be sought.
Target = Range("A2")
Sheets("Kanban Data").Select
Dim Nrow As Range
Dim N As Integer
On Error Resume Next
With Sheets("Kanban Data")
Set Nrow = .Columns(2).Find(What:=Target, After:=.Cells(3, 2), LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
If the Find expression (as pulled down from the Edit menu) is empty, then inserting a Part Number in A2 and executing the macro finds the correct record and returns the its correct row number (N, as defined afterwards in the code). Then, changing the Part Number in cell A2 and executing a new search returns the SAME row as the previous search, despite Target being equal to the new sought after value.

I know I must be missing something basic, but why is this code assigning a value to "NamePosition", instead of a range:
RightName = Sheets("WorkingSheet").Cells(1, 1).Value
Sheets("Tracker").Activate
Set StudentTbl = Sheets("Tracker").Range("A1:" & "Z" & NumStudents)
Set NamePosition = StudentTbl.Find(What:=RightName, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False)
I thought the find method returned a range?

I am having trouble using teh find method. I'm using it to search for a string in a column, then give me the row number, which is fine when the string is found, but when it is not I get an error of "variable not set." I'm pretty certain it is returning void, but how to I capture that? Here's the
voucher_row = Worksheets("Table").Columns("D:D").Find(voucher, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole).Row
"voucher" is a string.

I am going through various excel sheets looking for certain text on them. not all of the sheets will have the text.
I have been using
Cells. Find(What:="FindMe", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False).Activate
and it works fine, if the text is on the sheet. When the text is not on the sheet, how should I handle this.
I have tried On Error and IsError variations, but could use a little guidance

Is it possible to see why this code returns a date that is almost correct? Searching for 01.01.2005 I get 01.11.2005 as result. I would like the code to only show the correct date, and if it doesn't exist it should end up showing "nothing".
Code:
Set fstdate = wsOBX.Range("B1:B" & lr1).Find(what:=startdate, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, lookat:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False)

I'm working with a document that has several cells which require double carriage returns within cells. The location of each space is marked with an @ sign. A few weeks ago, I found an article online that explained how to do a find replace where the find value was '@' and the replace value was a series of numbers/characters that created a carriage return. When I doubled the carriage return code I got my two spaces. If I remember correctly, the string that I entered still appeared in the cell, so I needed to clean up afterwards by replacing that string with ' ', but it still left the line break.

giving me a macro to find a word in a sentence by using the "FIND" method.
For example I have a sentence say "I am happy" in which I have to search whether any of 2 words say "Happy" or "Sad" is there or not. If the sentence contains any of these words, then that row has to be highlighted.

How to get the GetFromClipboard syntax from here working with my code (below), but am having a really frustrating time. Basically, I need to search for whatever value is copied to the clipboard (as you can see below which will be relative to a certain cell).
Here's what I have so far, and I'm trying to replace the contents of the What:="121212121" part of the Find method to look for the clipboard contents (a 9 char number) in another sheet (where a duplicate exists - the value I am searching will be a unique identifier for the incorrectly created duplicate record that needs to be deleted).
So, What:=<insert number/string on clipboard here>
VB:
Sub DeleteDupes()
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 5).Range("A1").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("ActvMbrs_MatchCombos").Select
Cells.Find(What:="121212121", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _

I am trying to use the .Find method to match a date. In sheet2 I have a range of cells which are formatted to only show the day "dd" (I could format each cell to show (dd-mmm-yy, etc). In sheet1, I have dates which are formatted as "January 7, 2009"
I want to create a VBA find routine which allows me to match the date from Sheet2 (Ranged between cells A1:Z1) with Sheet1. Then output a MsgBox stating "Match found in cell $A$7 of Sheet1" I have tried a formula similar to:
PHP Set FoundCell = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:Z1").Find _
(what:=DateValue("January 7, 2009") ,lookin:=xlFormulas)

I am using the find method to search column headings, and based on the results copy the column to another worksheet. Everything works fine except if I have a mixed text and numeric string in the cell, for example DT35. In this case the macro doesn't copy this column. I have attached the spreadsheet. CTRL - A will run the macro. The macro calls a form with checkboxes, captioned using the values in the worksheet titled "Set-Up". If a value is found in the column heading the checkbox is set to true, then when the "Copy Selected Columns to Final Sheet" button is selected the columns are copied to the "FinalSheet" worksheet. I tried using xlPart instead of xlWhole, and this works but I need to search for exact strings so xlPart isn't a great work around.
