Hello all,

Here is the problem I am trying to sort out.

As soon as workbook opens user is asked for an input from column C. The VBA script locates it, rthen user inputs number , which should be exactly agsinst the earlier input i.e.
if user has input Article12 , which is in column C5, the next input should be comapred to column D where the numbers of articles present .
next step based on user input for article number is to minus that number from column D ( if is it les than or equal to Number present) and then save sheets and stop user process any more/close

so far here is the the scipt I have
VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim Arnum As Variant
Dim Count As Variant
Dim Sheetname As String

Arnum = InputBox("Please input article number :", "Input")
Count = InputBox(" Please input number of articles wanted", "Input")
Sheetname = "list1"

Dim Cell As Variant

Set Cell = Sheets(Sheetname).Columns("C:C").Find(What:=Arnum, After:=Sheets(Sheetname).Range("C1"), LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
    LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
    MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)

If Not Cell Is Nothing Then

       Sheets(Sheetname).Range(Cell.Address).Interior.ColorIndex = 4
Else

    'Value Not found
    MsgBox "Wrong article number"
End If


Set Cell = Sheets(Sheetname).Columns("F:F").Find(What:=Count, After:=Sheets(Sheetname).Range("F1"), LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
    LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
    MatchCase:=True, SearchFormat:=False)
If Not Cell Is Nothing Then

    'Value is found, Highlight Cell
    Sheets(Sheetname).Range(Cell.Address).Interior.ColorIndex = 5
Else

    'Value Not found
    MsgBox "This is more than what we have "
End If


End Sub

The code from second set cell is what am trying to improve upon.
 

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Okay afer deliberation I found out what i need

I need to have vlookup in code for the user input. I have now modified code a bit as follows, bu it throws me a error saying " Run time error Object required at vlookup line

VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim Arnum As Variant
Dim Count As Variant
Dim Sheetname As String


Arnum = InputBox("Please input article number :", "Input")
'Antal = InputBox(" Please input number of articles wanted", Input")
Sheetname = "list"


Dim Cell As Variant


Set Cell = Sheets(Sheetname).Columns("C:C").Find(What:=Arnum, After:=Sheets(Sheetname).Range("C1"), LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
    LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
    MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)

If Not Cell Is Nothing Then

    'Value is found, Highlight Cell
    Sheets(Sheetname).Range(Cell.Address).Interior.ColorIndex = 4
Else

    'Value Not found
    MsgBox "Wrong article number"
End If


   count  = Application.VLookup(Arnum, listan.Range("C2:F300"), 3, False)
MsgBox "count for $ is $ " & Arnum & count 
    
End Sub
