View Full Version : Solved: Macro to find specified date in a range

Hello

I have the following code that takes a date in a cell from one sheet "Calculation". and finds it another sheet "Latest Data" and then performs some actions. However, it says it cannot find the value/date even though it exists in both sheets.

So for example, A3296 in the "Calculation" sheet contains the value "24/06/2010". Th macro reads this cell and sets it as the find item (x). This works fine. But when it attempts to find this date in the "Latest Data" sheet, it cannot find it even though "24/06/2010" exists the cell A461.

Any ideas why this is not working. I am attaching an example.

Thanks,

Lucas


Sub Updateindex()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim Rng As Range
Dim startrow, endrow As Integer
Dim findstring, x As String

Sheets("Calculation").Range("a2500").End(xlDown).Select
x = ActiveCell.Value
findstring = x
If Trim(findstring) <> "" Then
Sheets("Latest Data").Select
With Sheets("Latest Data").Range("A:A")
Set Rng = .Find(What:=findstring, After:=Sheets("Latest Data").Range("A1"), LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, SearchFormat:=False, MatchCase:=False)
If Not Rng Is Nothing Then
Application.Goto Rng, True
Else
MsgBox "Nothing found"
End If
End With
End If

startrow = Selection.Offset(1, 0).Row
endrow = Range("a2000").End(xlUp).Row
Range("A" & startrow & ":" & "T" & endrow).Copy
Sheets("calculation").Select
Range("a4000").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues

If it is a date, set LookIn to xlFormulas.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I've changed LookIn to xlFormulas but is still not working, i.e it can't find the values.

Could there be any other reason why this does not work?

Thanks,

Lucas

This seems to work



Sub Updateindex()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim Rng As Range
Dim startrow, endrow As Integer
Dim findstring, x As String

Sheets("Calculation").Range("a2500").End(xlDown).Select
x = ActiveCell.Value
findstring = x

If Trim(findstring) <> "" Then
Sheets("Latest Data").Select
With Sheets("Latest Data").Range("A:A")
Set Rng = .Find(What:=CDate(findstring), _
After:=Sheets("Latest Data").Range("A1"), _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
SearchFormat:=False, _
MatchCase:=False)
If Not Rng Is Nothing Then
Application.Goto Rng, True
Else
MsgBox "Nothing found"
End If
End With
End If

startrow = Selection.Offset(1, 0).Row
endrow = Range("a2000").End(xlUp).Row
Range("A" & startrow & ":" & "T" & endrow).Copy
Sheets("calculation").Select
Range("a4000").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Yep,

This also works for me.

Thanks,
