Default Find Text using VBA

Dear All



I've a vast database of movies & Musics titles and i want to update the price



i have to find each text in database and stocklist since i cant vlookup it because same title can be manufactured by many other also



is there a way to find text automatically using VBA?


Hi Timothy,

I continued to develop the code I submitted earlier and may have a worksheet example that you can adapt to more suit your purpose.

The sheet uses four drop-downs and will either list the drop-down entry OR color the matching cell of the master data base. I took the liberty to make identical master data entries unique but still identifable as to what movie or musical title it is. You could have four AA11 titles which could be the National Athem. AA11-1 is by Whitney Houston, AA11-2,3 or 4 by Curly, Larry, Moe.

Now that the titles are unique I used an Array Entered Vlookup formula to return Adress, City, State and Misc info for each from a data base.

Of course all my data and titles etc. are phony and only to show what the process is and how the formula and code can work.

Might be worth a look see and if it is way off-base for your purpose... well that is what the Delet Key is for.

If any interest I'm here

Regards,
Howard
