I have the below code which finds text based on what is in cell D1. I have a button connected to this code but what i want to happen is when the user presses the button once its finds the first instance, then if the press again it goes to the 2nd and so on down. Currently it just finds the first instance and nothing else.

I get that you can just use CTRL + F for the same thing but there is a reason I want it to be coded, thanks in advance


Sub search()


Dim FindString As String
Dim Rng As Range
FindString = Range("D1")
If Trim(FindString) <> "" Then
With Sheets("Data").Range("B:B")
Set Rng = .Find(what:=FindString, _
After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False)
If Not Rng Is Nothing Then
Application.GoTo Rng, True
Else
MsgBox "Nothing found"
End If
End With
End If
End Sub

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
In the future, please use code tags to make it easier for us to read.

Try this, modifications highlighted in red.
Rich (BB code):
Sub DoSearch()
  Static rngAfter As Excel.Range

  Dim FindString As String
  Dim Rng As Range
  
  FindString = Range("D1")
  
  If rngAfter Is Nothing Then
    Set rngAfter = Sheets("Data").Range("B:B").Cells(1)
  End If
  
  If Trim(FindString) <> "" Then
    With Sheets("Data").Range("B:B")
      Set Rng = .Find(what:=FindString, _
              After:=rngAfter, _
              LookIn:=xlValues, _
              LookAt:=xlWhole, _
              SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
              SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
              MatchCase:=False)
    End With
    If Not Rng Is Nothing Then
      Application.GoTo Rng, True
      Set rngAfter = Rng
    Else
      MsgBox "Nothing found"
    End If
  End If
End Sub
