Excel Facts

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Try this:
VBA Code:
Sub MyFindMacro()

    Dim fnd As Variant
    Dim rng As Range
   
'   Capture the value from the active cell
    fnd = ActiveCell.Value
   
'   Find value in column C
    Set rng = Columns("C:C").Find(What:=fnd, After:=Range("C1"), LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
        LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
        MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
       
'   If found select it, otherwise return message
    If rng Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "Cannot find " & fnd & " in column C", vbOKOnly, "ERROR!"
    Else
        rng.Select
    End If
   
End Sub
