Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply
I am using 2007

I am getting result as "repeated" even if it is not matching

here is my code

r3 = Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row

For a = 2 To r3
'where shn = sheet2
' sheet name add evertime when i run the code, so doesn't remain
constant
a1 = Cells(a, 2)
a2 = Cells(a, 4)
a3 = Cells(a, 6)
a4 = Cells(a, 7)
b1 = Worksheets(shn).Range("A:A")
b2 = Worksheets(shn).Range("B:B")
b3 = Worksheets(shn).Range("C:C")
b4 = Worksheets(shn).Range("D:D")

res = Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(1, (a1 = b1) * (a2 = b2) *
(a3 = b3) * (a4 = b4), 0)

If Not IsError(res) Then Cells(a, "i") = "repeated"

Next a

First, I wouldn't take the chance of concatenating those cells and finding a
match when there really isn't one.

aaa bbb ccc
and
aa *ab *bbccc

would both return a match--even if the corresponding cells in the table
contained:
a *a * *abbbccc

I'd use an array formula like:
=match(1,(b2=sheet2!a1:a10)*(d2=sheet2!b1:b10)*(f2 =sheet2!c1:c10),0)
(still array entered)

And if you're not using xl2007, then you can't use the entire column in array
formulas.

In code, I'd use:

* * Dim myFormula As String
* * Dim res As Variant

* * myFormula _
* * * = "match(1,(b2=sheet2!a1:a10)*(d2=sheet2!b1:b10)*(f2 =sheet2!c1:c10),0)"

* * res = Worksheets("Sheet1").Evaluate(myFormula)

* * If IsError(res) Then
* * * * MsgBox "No match!"
* * Else
* * * * MsgBox res
* * End If

Since the code used worksheets("Sheet1").evaluate(), those unqualified B2, D2
and F2 will belong to Sheet1.

Hi,

I have formula ( Array formula)
=MATCH(B2&D2&F2,Sheet2!A:A&Sheet2!B:B&Sheet2!C:C,0 )

How Can we use in VBA
Application.worksheetfunction.match..........

How should I use same array formula in VBA.

Thanks in advance
