Finding text in one column that compares to another
Sub bbb()
Dim rngA As Range, rngB As Range
Dim rng As Range, cell As Range
Dim res As Variant
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set rngA = .Range(.Cells(2, 1), .Cells(2, 1).End(xlDown))
Set rngB = .Range(.Cells(2, 2), .Cells(2, 2).End(xlDown))
End With
For Each cell In rngA
res = Application.Match("*" & cell.Value & "*", rngB, 0)
If Not IsError(res) Then
Set rng = rngB(res)
rng.Offset(0, 1).Value = cell
End If
Next
End Sub
worked for me. It assumes the lists start in A2 and B2. If in A1 and B1,
change
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set rngA = .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(1, 1).End(xlDown))
Set rngB = .Range(.Cells(1, 2), .Cells(1, 2).End(xlDown))
End With

In a spreadsheet I have one column with single item names and a second
column
with strings of data. I am trying to set up a routine that will search
the
column with strings for the names found in the first one. The result
needed
is to place the name in a third column adjacent to the one with the string
that contains the name. I have come up with this:
If InStr(Range("B2"), ActiveCell) Then Range("C2") = ActiveCell
If InStr(Range("B3"), ActiveCell) Then Range("C2") = ActiveCell
etc.
This works if I use "Offset" and type a separate line of code for each row
of data but this is rather inconvenient since there are over 1000 rows.
Is there a better way to accomplish this?
Thanks for any help anyone may offer.
