Hello Everyone, thanks for taking a look at my question.

I need to create a macro that will "check" if a file contains certain heater information.

Row 1 (sheet: File) contains header info example: FirstName, LastName, PhoneNumber.....

however, sometimes these are in the wrong order or are missing completey.


I have another sheet (Data) that contains possible data in a column.
Example for first name (column B) the header can contain:

Firstname, FName, F Name, and so on....


for now, I just want a msgbox to tell me something was found, I will add the correct code after I figure this out.


Below is a sample of the code I have created so far...

Sub NameTest()
' This is a working version as long as you identify exactly what to look for.

Dim myCol As Long, rngFound As Range


'Fname = "1"
Fname = Workbooks("IntChk.xlsm").Worksheets("Data").Range("B3")
'Fname = Workbooks("IntChk.xlsm").Worksheets("Data").Range("B:B")

Set rngFound = Worksheets("File").Rows(1).Find(What:=Fname, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False)

If Not rngFound Is Nothing Then
myCol = rngFound.Column
MsgBox myCol
Else
MsgBox "Not Found"
End If


End Sub
 

Excel Facts

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
So.. to recap.

I am looking for a way I can use the data in the column of 'Data' sheet to search the entire row of 'File' to see if the data in the column can be found in the row..... it would be nice for the msgbox to populate the column the data was found or just note if nothing was found....

hope that helps.
