Hi all,

I have a table that has multiple matching entries and i'm trying to use .find to get the right match.
Here's where it get's complicated. I want it to find the first match with a specific font format.
eg.
Row 1 apples in font yellow 0
Row 2 Bananas in font yellow 0
Row 3 Apples in default font 25
Row 4 Bananas in default font 50
the rows are conditionally formatted so in row 2 if the value in column 2 is <=0 then bananas font is in yellow. if it's >0 then the format is default.
So I'm trying to get my .find to find the first match with default font.
I've played around with the find in the macro recorder and it can be done but when i try to apply it into my
sub the .find is nothing
Code:
Application.FindFormat.NumberFormat = "General"
Application.FindFormat.Locked = True          
Set rCl = .Find(sFind, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, SearchFormat:=True)
Here's the code that I attempted but the rCl is returning as nothing. When i remove the findformat lines & the SearchFormat the rCl returns a match as I expect.
I know that it can be done but I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Can anyone help??
Thanks in advance
 
Thanks for this Yongle. I'll have a play with it tonight so I can see it at work & then try to incorporate into my workbook

Again, thanks for your time.

Thanks also to Rick & Fluff for your input.

Kind regards

Excel Facts

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
My example is unlikely to be a total fit so if you need the code adjusting to match your conditional formatting, I will need some more specific details.
