Mike,

One more question. How would I add other search criteria to the code? Such
as also searching for "9992" to return the value "Dummy Fund".

Thanks,
Peter

Hi

Can someone please help me create a macro to search an Excel worksheet(in
column B) for a cell value("42285") and return a statement("European Trade")
in column "E". The data can always change and the rows of data can be up to
3,000 rows.

I have the below code but it needs alot of work.

Dim rowCount As Integer
rowCount = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count

Dim i As Integer

For i = 1 To rowCount
Range("B" & i).Select
If ActiveCell.Value = "42285" Then
GoTo loopAgain
Else

ActiveCell.Offset(0, 4) = Sheets("Sheet1").ActiveCell.Offset(6, 4)


' write code to do whatever(return your activecell.offset value)

End If

loopAgain:
Next i

End Sub

Thank You
Peter
