Find Method Using Control Caption
Feb 8, 2008
This is Ridicules. The find function in vba fail to find three or four letter words like "CEO", "EATS", "CFO" ect. It gives me an error "Method ' Range' of object '_Global' failed. Run-Time Error 1004". But it works fine on five letter words or more like "Buddy". As long the caption is 5 letter words and above it works.
If CheckBox1.Value = True Then
If Not Sheets(Sheet).Cells.Find(CheckBox1.Caption) Is Nothing Then Range(CheckBox1.Caption).EntireColumn.Hidden = False

I have a userform which has a number of multipage controls nested inside each. So, the parent is Multipage1 with 2 pages. Page 1 of Multipage1 has a second multipage control (Multipage2 which has 4 pages). In Multipage2, page1 there is a 3rd Multipage control (Multipage3 which has 2 pages). In Multipage2, page 2 there is another multipage control (Multipage4 which has 3 pages)...and so on! I know this sounds complicated, but I am trying to get the caption of the selected multipage.
There are commandbuttons in all of the pages, which when clicked need to return the caption name of the multipage where they sit.
I have started the following code, but suspect there must be a better solution:
VB:
With Sales
If .MultiPage1.Value = 0 Then
Hardware_Purchases_Input.TextBox6.Value = .MultiPage1.SelectedItem.Caption & " - " & .MultiPage2.SelectedItem.Caption & " - " & .MultiPage3.SelectedItem.Caption
End If
End With

im using the following code to add to a combo box when a form loads
LstMullBkBx.AddItem "SCW059 - 50mm Box"
LstMullBkBx.AddItem "SCW060 - 75mm Box"
LstMullBkBx.AddItem "SCW061 - 100mm Box"
LstMullBkBx.AddItem "SCW062 - 125mm Box"
This seems to be a long way to do it. Is the a quicker way... as in
LstMullBkBx.AddItem "SCW059 - 50mm Box" & "SCW060 - 75mm Box" etc
I tried this but it adds them on the same line which is no good.

I need to establish a method of interleating multiple dropdowns or Form Control boxes. The purpose is to select one item and have a selection of multiple items associated with the selected item. Example:
Computer training dropdown box 1 offers selections of word, excel, powerpoint, ... If selection is Word, then dropdown box#2 offers advanced in room #15, Intermediate in room #16, Beginning in room #17. If Box 1 selection is excel box 2 selections would be different.

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

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 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

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)

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")

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.

Is it possible to use the Find method using a DATE RANGE? For instance, If I have two input boxes; One, a beginning date and the other an Ending Date.
Is it possible to use Find to search for all dates that are >= strBegDate and <=strEndDate?

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 ....

I have a UserForm (and associated code) to locate a specific entry in Column 'A' of a spreadsheet and insert a date, initials, and hyperlink to another file.
The basic code works fine, but did not account for the user entering a Job# that was not in the system, so I added an If/Else to account for this...
The additional code took the If (Job# not found) route every time...
Following many hours of searching this site and variations of the error handling code, I still can not get it to work.
So I'm asking for your assistance to point out why the error handling (based on other successful code found here) is not working for me.
'Insert Link
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
If TextBox1.Value = "" Then
MsgBox "Please Insert a Job#"
Exit Sub
ElseIf TextBox2.Value = "" Then
MsgBox "Please Insert Quoters Initials"
Exit Sub
ElseIf TextBox3.Value = "" Then
MsgBox "Please Insert Quote Date"
Exit Sub
The 'Find' part of the code is working, as the correct cell is selected after running the code... but it gives the error message, instead of executing the rest of the code...
If I remove the 'On Error Resume Next', it stops on the find block, where on inspection FindR = Nothing.
So if FindR does = Nothing, how did it manage to select the cell?

Asking for a row value to be returned if a string is found to exist in the sheet. Works great if it finds the value but I get the following error when the string isn't found:
Run Time Error '91':
Object Variable or With block variable not set.
Concept code follows. The commented strOCNumOF line contains the value that's found on the sheet. The uncommented line contains a value not found.
Sub find_test1()
Dim intFoundOnCur As Integer
Dim strOCNumOF As String
strOCNumOF = "AP4506"
'strOCNumOF = "BP6020"
intFoundOnCur = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet. Cells.Find(What:=strOCNumOF, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, SearchOrder:=xlByRows).Row

I want to search the selected range for a variable value (calculated previously in the sub) and if it finds the value I want the sub to do some things. If it's not in the range I want it do something else.
Here is the relevant section for what I have:
[Code] ......
This works and cuts the value I'm looking for if it finds a value in the range. The problem is it's not in the range I don't know how to tell it to follow other instructions. I tried the "iserror" with an in statement, but it said the range was not set. Intellisense isn't working and I don't really know how to use the .find method ...

I was wondering if possible i could use an on_click method to open the find facility in excel. I know it may be easier to use the Edit, Find or Ctrl+F way.
But i have people using excel with no past experience what so ever, and i would like to make it as easy as possible....i.e a click of a button that says "Search".

I have a very large worksheet (row count maxed in 2007, and then some), for which I need to do the following: search column A for a string that will occur many times, and then check the 10 cells that follow in its row for negative values, dropping some sort of indicator in the 11th (shading it red or something would be fine). An additional bonus would be if the 10 cells that possibly contain a negative could be summed (the sum could serve as the indicator?). If no negative is found, nothing need be done, and the macro should chug along searching A for the next reference to this string.
My hope was to do a sort of "With Range("A:A"), .Find("MyString")", save position as StartPos, do the 10-cell row checking in a nested IF or For (though the For would take a long while, checking each cell individually), then doing a .FindNext after StartPos until = StartPos (does .FindNext loop back to the top?). The formatting of the indicator cell in the 12th cell in each relevant row doesn't really matter, it's more just for jumping to critical rows.

I am using "FIND" method for comparing two columns in 2 spreadsheets. So if cell value in sheet1 matches with cell value in sheet2 then copy multiple columns from sheet2 to sheet1 (similar to what VLOOKUP does but I need to return multiple values if the comparison is true).
Values that I comparing are in Column A in both the sheets. Is match I need to return values from about 20 columns (from sheet2 to sheet1). One value that I am returning is in Column B, I was able to get that working. but other values are in columns starting from M. I do not know how to get those values from Sheet2 to Sheet1.
Following is the portion of code that deals with this FIND method
Code:
Set wsTools = Worksheets("AllTools")
Set wsToolParts = Worksheets("Tools and Parts")
Set ToolPartsRange = wsToolParts.Range("A2:A" & lR)
Set AllToolRange = wsTools.Range("A2:A" & lR3)
For Each ToolPartsCells In ToolPartsRange
[Code] .....
As you may notice that the following line brings next column (B) back but I do not know how to get other column values. They are in columns from M to Z
Code:
ToolPartsCells.Offset(, 1) = ToolCells.Offset(, 1)

Each sheet contains 30,000 rows of data in column A, C, E, G and I.
I want to find each cell of column A, C, E, G and I to another sheets column A, C, E, G and I respectively.
If match found then it should return "True" in column B, D, F, H and J.
I have tried VLookup, but it takes too much of time for calculation (1,50,000 vlookup Formulas needs to calculate in each sheet with If condition) some time calculation gives wrong results.
As well as I want to do filtering on this all the data... so that time calculation gives the problems (I have used application.Calculation=xlCalculationManual)
So now I am using Range.Find method, but that loop excecutes for 30,000 times and each ittration contains 5 Find methods.

I have a spreadsheet with data similar to the following:
12111000 MILK, COW'S, FLUID, LOW PERCENT
27313010 BEEF, NOODLES & VEG (W/ CARROTS/DK GREEN), NO SAUCE
11100000 MILK, NFS
11111000 MILK, COW'S, FLUID, WHOLE
If I use the following code to pass in a string variable and then attempt to find the string it never sees the text in line 2; or any line that contains (). The code is simply a test to try and figure out what i'm doing wrong. The actual goal is to search the entire sheet for text similar to that entered in by the user and then copy every row that contains similar text into another worksheet.
Sub CopyStuff()
strVariable = "car" 'I have tried "*car*" also
With Worksheets(1). Range("b1:b500")
Set c = .Find(strVariable, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
firstaddress = c.Address
Do
Set c = .FindNext(c)
MsgBox (test)
Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address <> firstaddress
test = c.Address
End If
End With
