Hi to all,

I have to do alot of vlookup type searches in my program and I was wondering which one of the 2 options in the title would be quicker and more efficient since there will be around 500 of these searches.

So...
VLookUp(what,range) or Range().Find().Offset().Value ?

Thanks

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Hi,

In terms of efficiency the VLookup() call will be the faster of those two options if the lookup values are valid and will be found. If a lot of the lookup values won't be found then error overhead from the VLookUp calls will even things out.

HTH,

all will have exact values found since i put the exactvalue=true in all comboboxes. Therefore, I will lean towards the vlookup. Thanks!
