Default String comparison

As you are compring two strings use Range.Text instead of .Value as below and
declare the variable as String.

Sheets("Sheet4").Cells(rw, 1).Text


PS: If a variable is to hold any kind of data then declare that as Variant

Dim varTemp as Variant

If this post helps click Yes

What should be variable type for Txt. The cell value can be anything (number
or string)

2) If Ucase(Sheets("Sheet4").Cells(rw, 1).Value) Like "*TIC*DACA" Or
Ucase(Sheets("Sheet4").Cells(rw, 1).Value) Like "*FI*pida" Then

Better if you do this first:
Txt = Ucase(Sheets("Sheet4").Cells(rw, 1).Value)
And then you test Txt

Hi

I have following code which is working fine:

If Sheets("Sheet4").Cells(rw, 1).Value Like "*TIC*daca".

Now I have to modify this line a little bit, but am not able to do it.
I want to do two things:

1. The comparison above is case sensitive. I want to make it case
insensitive. However I donot want to use Option Compare Text as this case
insensitive comparison needs to be valid for this particular code only and
not for other comparisons in the module.

2. I want to compare other values too in the same line. Means in addition to
"*TIC*daca", I want to compare "FI*pida" with the same cell. Result should be
true is cell value is either "*TIC*daca" OR "*FI*pida".

How can I achieve this?

Thank You
