Personally I prefer match
Dim res as Variant
res = Application.Match(clng(cdate(FindString)),Range("S 9:S300"),0)
if not iserror(res) then
msgbox "found at row " & Range("S9:S300")(res).Address
Else
msgbox "Not found"
End if

I have a vlookup formula in cell s5 which looks up a date. Toms change
doesnt give any errors but it still doesnt find the date from S9 -
S300????
I am lost?
Cheers

If that causes an error, then it sounds like s5 doesn't really contain a
date.
if isdate(findstring) = false then
msgbox findstring
end if
If it's text that looks like a date, maybe:
clng(cdate(findstring))
???

Thanks Dave but this doesnt work...it generates a Type Mismatch

Sometimes, converting the date to a long helps:
Set rng = .Find(What:=FindString, _
becomes:
Set rng = .Find(What:=clng(FindString), _

I have a spreadsheet with a date in cell S5
I want the macro to look down cells S10:S300 and see if the date in
S5 is in
any of the columns in S10-A300. If it is I want the found row to
be deleted.
I have used this code but it is not working and keeps saying
nothing is found.
Dim FindString As String
Dim rng As Range
FindString = Range("s5").Value
If FindString < "" Then
With Sheets("Sheet1").Range("s9:s500")
Set rng = .Find(What:=FindString, _
After:=.Cells(1, 1), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False)
If Not rng Is Nothing Then
Application.Goto rng, True
Else
MsgBox "Nothing found"
End If
End With
End If
Can anyone help? Many thanks.
