Hi
Couldn't work out how to put this text above the table.

I want to have some code that loops through Column D ("Find"), matches the number in Column A and pulls out the three cells to the right of that (As shown). However the numbers in the column above the word "Result" get ignored and sometimes there is more or less that the four currently showing above the word "Result".

Thanks

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Why can't you just use VLOOKUP do this (no VBA or looping necessary)?

Hi

I would do normally, but I will be looping through many thousands of rows, based on other conditions before I need to loop through this part of the data set.

Thanks

I am not sure I understand what it is that you are after then, if not VLOOKUP. It doesn't really matter how mnay rows there are, VLOOKUP can handle thousands of rows.
If there are "other conditions" that need to be considered, I think we need more of those details to get a better understanding of what you are trying to do.

I wanted code so that it could slip into a large piece of work I'm doing. Vlookup I've been using for over 20 year but it doesn't fit here. I've pulled something together that works for me, so I'm fine as it stands.

Would you mind posting what you came up with?
I am curious to hear what you did (and hat may also help answer some of questions about the details that I had).
