Run Time Error 13 - Type Mismatch Frustration

[Poundland]

Hi Guys,

I have written some code and part of it is generating a Runtime 13 error - Type Mismatch, I am not sure if it is because I am using invalid object variables or just trying to combine some variables that are not meant to be combined in the chosen method.

The portion of Code where the error is generated is below and is generated on the first .Find statement

' finds and sets a range object for each measure
With DataDept.Range("G:G")
Set Rws(1) = .Find(SA, Rw.Address, LookIn:=xlValues)
Set Rws(2) = .Find(SAM, Rw.Address, LookIn:=xlValues)
Set Rws(3) = .Find(DA, Rw.Address, LookIn:=xlValues)
Set Rws(4) = .Find(Re, Rw.Address, LookIn:=xlValues)
Set Rws(5) = .Find(O, Rw.Address, LookIn:=xlValues)
Set Rws(6) = .Find(Om, Rw.Address, LookIn:=xlValues)
End With

The full code is below, any help in solving this with me would be most appreciated as always.

The second argument to Find is a Range object, not an address string.

[Poundland]

The second argument to Find is a Range object, not an address string.

Thank you for your response.

I am trying to define from after which cell address the find function should start looking, I thought by using the .Address that I would be referencing the object address rather than the object itself.

What should I be using?

[Aflatoon]

Remove the .Address

[Poundland]

That did not work, It still generated the same error.

I have structured the Find statement so that the first string is the value to look for and the Rw.address if the cell address of the object to start looking after to find the string.

I need to reference the Rw.Address as there will be multiple instances of the same string in the data range but I am looking for a specific entry that will be the first search result after the Rw.Address.

[Aflatoon]

You cannot use an address string there - it has to be a range OBJECT. You will get an error if rw is not a cell within the range you are searching.

[Poundland]

I removed the .Address from the code lines for each .Find and extended the search range to include the Object and it now works.

Thank you for your help.
