Hi all,
I am trying to find a column letter based on a text ,contained in a cell. I managed to find the letter, but the next part is what bothers me. The column letter(declared as "trcol") is a part of a loop that goes through the table and copies certain values based on that column.So that column should be the target column to copy from.This is what i have so far:

VBA Code:
Dim trcol as String
Workbooks.Open (ThisWorkbook.Path & workb)
Sheets(sh).Select
Set Cell = Cells.Find("Customer Score %", , xlValues, xlPart, , , False)
If Not Cell Is Nothing Then

  ColLetter = Split(Cell.Address, "$")(1)
     trcol = """ & ColLetter & """
    
     
Else
  MsgBox "I cannot find that text on this sheet"
End If
''''''''''''''''''''''
'the loop
''''''''''''''''''''''
Dim N As Long, i As Long

Workbooks.Open (ThisWorkbook.Path & workb)
N = Cells(Rows.Count, sccol).End(xlUp).Row


For i = 2 To N
Dim totalRnNum As Integer: totalRnNum = Range("F100").End(xlUp).Row
Dim totalVal As Double: totalVal = Cells(totalRnNum, 6).Value
Cells(i, **trcol**).Copy '''''''here i need to have the result of the search as trcol


Next i
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
You can use
VBA Code:
  trcol = Split(cell.Address, "$")(1)
and then
Excel Formula:
Cells(i, trcol).Copy

I am not sure why you are trying to work with the Column Letter when it is simpler to use the column number.
VBA Code:
Dim trcol as Long
trcol = Cell.Column
Cells(i, trcol).Copy

That will copy from the column where "Customer Score %" is found.
