Default Applying names to ranges of cells for formulas

I am writing a macro that takes data from a sheet showing amounts invoiced in
a given month, decides what type of work was invoiced, and calclulates totals
for the different types of work.

I have one worksheet that shows the values billed in column E, and the type
of work billed in column F. I want to find all cells in column F with the
same type/value, then select the corresponding cells in column E, and apply a
name to the range that I can then insert into formulas.

The code I am using to do this is shown below. The problem I have is that
if a particular term I search for is not in column F, all the rows in column
E will be selected (which doesn't help me much).

What I would like to do is change the code to say that if there are no
matching entries in column F, no range is created. And later when I create
my formulas, I want something to say that if a particular range doesn't
exist, the value of the cell should be zero.

Any help doing this would be appreciated.

Thanks
