Hi There

This is my first post :-) (And VBA newby)

I found this code (did a little modifying) in this forum for a search in excel, works fine but can you help me on this one:
How can show a message to the user when nothing is found?

I added MsgBox "Niets gevonden" (Nothing found in English) , but this show on every search. Where do I place within this code?

Code: 
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]Sub myfind()[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  Dim Message, Title, Default, SearchString[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  Message = "Zoeken op gedetineerde!" ' Set prompt.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  Title = "Toets een naam in" ' Set title.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  Default = "B.Oef" ' Set default.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  ' Display message, title, and default value.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  SearchString = InputBox(Message, Title, Default)[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]
[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  'SearchString = "Rob"[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  Set S = Sheets.Application[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  For Each S In Application.Sheets[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  With S.Range("B1:B400")[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  Set F = .Find(SearchString, MatchCase:=False, LookAt:=xlPart, [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]LookIn:=xlValues)[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]   If F Is Nothing Then[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  Else[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  Location = F.Address[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  S.Select[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  Range(Location).Select[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  Exit For[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  End If[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  End With[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  Next S[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]  End Sub[/FONT][/COLOR]

Welcome to the board.

Try:
Code: 
Sub myFind()

    Dim w       As Long
    Dim LR      As Long
    Dim rng     As String
    Dim strSrch As String
    
    strSrch = InputBox("Zoeken op gedetineerde!", "Toets een naam in", "B.Oef")
    If len(strSrch) = 0 Then Exit Sub

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
            
    For w = 1 To Worksheets.count
        With Sheets(w)
            .Select
            LR = .Cells(.Rows.count, 2).End(xlUp).row
            On Error Resume Next
            Set rng = .Cells(1, 2).Resize(LR).find(what:=strSrch, lookat:=xlPart, LookIn:=xlValues, MatchCase:=False)
            On Error GoTo 0
            If Not rng Is Nothing Then
                rng.Select
                Set rng = Nothing
                Exit For
            Else
                MsgBox "Niets gevonden: " & .Name, vbExclamation, "Niets gevonden"

Hello,

Try placing it here

Code: 
Sub myfind()  
  Dim Message, Title, Default, SearchString
  Message = "Zoeken op gedetineerde!" ' Set prompt.
  Title = "Toets een naam in" ' Set title.
  Default = "B.Oef" ' Set default.
  ' Display message, title, and default value.
  SearchString = InputBox(Message, Title, Default)




  'SearchString = "Rob"
  Set S = Sheets.Application
  For Each S In Application.Sheets
  With S.Range("B1:B400")
  Set F = .Find(SearchString, MatchCase:=False, LookAt:=xlPart, LookIn:=xlValues)
  If F Is Nothing Then
  [COLOR=#ff0000]MsgBox "Niets gevonden"[/COLOR]
  Else
  Location = F.Address
  S.Select
  Range(Location).Select
  Exit For
  End If
  End With
  Next S
  End Sub

Do you need the user to be informed of every sheet where the value is not found unless value is found?

Your code is checking each sheet and stopping when the value is found (if found) - if there's only one instance of the value, you could notify the user at the very end if either the value exists (then select that sheet and the cell) or does not, rather than be notified of every single sheet where the value isn't found...

Hi Jack,

Actually there has to by a search in the sheet "Verdeling" (B2:B400) not in every sheet. So basically only "no results"when nothing found on sheet "Verdeling" in that specific column. If the query is found, just select that cell. ( And if possible hightlight it with a color)

Any help on this?

Tx.

Found this one

Sub Find_First()
Dim FindString As String
Dim Rng As Range
FindString = InputBox("Wie zoek je?")
If Trim(FindString) <> "" Then
With Sheets("Verdeling").Range("B2:B400")
Set Rng = .Find(What:=FindString, _
After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False)
If Not Rng Is Nothing Then
Application.Goto Rng, True
Else
MsgBox "Niets gevonden!"
End If
End With
End If
End Sub
Click to expand...

That will do what i want, accept show multiple results if there are same values.
