Brian,
try this - sub a loops through data to the end & calls sub
2 everytime there is a match.

sub 2 reads the info for system & writes to other data
sheet,

this is pretty simple and should do the job for you.

good luck,

Martin

I assume there will be multiple cells with B11 for
example. If the system is
identified only by the first character being B and could
have any two
numbers after, then you will have to modify your equality
test to only look
at the first character

If left(System,1) = Left(ActualSystem,1) Then


Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
'Creating Report Number One
t = 1

System = Sheets("input").Range("E3").Value
Do While t < 10
ActualSystem = Sheets("electrical").Range("At")
(t).Value

If System = ActualSystem Then
Sheets("electrical").Range("At")(t).Copy
Destination:= _
Sheets("report").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End
(x1Up) _
.Offset(1, 0)
End If
t = t + 1
Loop
End Sub

I am attempting to write a macro that will pull
information from a
spreadsheet into a list on another sheet. For instance, I
have many pieces
of equipment and want to see only the equipment for a
certain system, so I
type in the system I want, hit my button, and go. I am
running into problems
with searching to the next cell in the spreadsheet. This
is the code I have
so far

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
'Creating Report Number One
t = 1
System = Sheets("input").Range("E3")
Do While t < 10
ActualSystem = Sheets("electrical").Range("At")

If System = ActualSystem Then
Sheets("electrical").Range("At").Copy
Destination:= _
Sheets("report").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End
(x1Up) _
.Offset(1, 0)
t = t + 1
Else
t = t + 1

End If
Loop
End Sub

I want it to put only the pieces of equipment for that
particular system
on the list, and I want to have it where there are no
blank spaces between
the pieces of equipment on the list. The system is
numbered like this:

"Bxx"

with xx being any integers. I know I am referencing the
cells wrong in
Excel, I know you just cant say Cell (At) and have t be
counted each time
through, which is the problem I am running into, it gives
me a runtime error
whenever it gets to the ActualSystem variable. Any help
on this matter would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Brian
