Default Macro help

Nick,

Try this:

Sub test()
Call MatchCols("cd")
End Sub

Sub MatchCols(mValue)

Dim res, n As Long, c, firstaddress As String
Dim Letters() As String, num As Integer, i As Integer

n = 0
res = Application.Match(mValue, Range("c1:C5"), 0) ' <=== Change range

If Not IsError(res) Then
num = Cells(res, 3).Offset(0, -2)
With Worksheets(1).Range("a1:a5") ' <== Changr range
Set c = .Find(num, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
firstaddress = c.Address
Do
n = n + 1
ReDim Preserve Letters(n)
Letters(n) = c.Offset(0, 2).Value
Set c = .FindNext(c)
Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address < firstaddress
End If
End With
Else
MsgBox mValue & " not found"
End If

For i = 1 To n
Debug.Print Letters(i)
Next i

End Sub

I was wondering if the following can be done

I want to create a macro that will look in column C for a letter or a
combination of letters and then when it finds the particular letter(s), I
would like it to go to the corresponding numeric value in column A. Then
search all of column A for any like numeric values and then show me the
corresponding letter(s) that are associated with that value.

Example:

Column A Column B Column C
5 x ab
9 x cdi
5 x b
9 x grt

So if I were to enter the letters €œab€ into my macro it would tell me the
value is €œ5€ and the other letter that contains that value is €œb€.

Is this possible to do??
