If you want to limit your search to a specific area, change


With Worksheets("Beräkning").Cells

to

With Worksheets("Beräkning").UsedRange

or

With Worksheets("Beräkning").Range("A1:Z22")

as examples.

In my experience, I think FIND only looks at the Usedrange by default.

I have a loop in which I am trying to search for a cell with a ceratin
textline ("Sec type"). I want to search the entire spreadsheet but if it it
possible to search only some used range that is preffered. If I find the cell
I am lokking for I want to check to see that it is not on the same row as
some other things. These rows are specified by segment.row and secID.row. My
problem is that the loop never stops running and I do not know what is wrong
with it. I guess it is the Loop-line that is erronous but I do not know how
to fix it. Please help me out if can! Thanks!

With Range("b1:aa500")
Set c = Worksheets("Beräkning").Cells.Find("Sec type",
LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = c.Address
Do
Set c = .FindNext(c)
Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address < firstAddress And
c.row = segment.row Or c.row = secID.row
End If
