Hi,

I want to use a macro (with Excel VBA 2003) that
1- finds the cell containing a specific value
2- goes to the cell on line 7 of the same column as the found cell

I have tried to find that answer online but could not figure it out.

The start of my macro looks like that:

Dim ValT as String
ValT = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("R3").Value
Dim VarFind As Variant

Set VarFind = Cells.Find(What:=ValT, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole)
If VarFind Is Nothing Then
MsgBox ValT & "is not in here"
Exit Sub
Else
Cells.Find(What:=ValT, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole).Activate
End If

... and I do not know how to use the column defined by the ActiveCell to go to the Cell on line 7 of ActiveCell's Column. Any suggestions?

Thank you very much for your help!
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Code:
    Dim ValT   As String
    ValT = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("R3").Value
    Dim VarFind As Range

    Set VarFind = Cells.Find(What:=ValT, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole)
    If VarFind Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox ValT & "is not in here"
        Exit Sub
    Else
[COLOR="Red"]        Cells(7, VarFind.Column).Activate[/COLOR]
    End If
