Range("H" & firstrowOLD & ":I" & lastrowOLD).Select

i.e. the quotes just before the "I" were in the wrong place.

When I enter your code (for testing) the following line
shows IN RED - indicating bad syntax:
Cells.Find(What:="Text1", -etc-)
Even removing the etc and retrying as
Cells.Find(What:="Text1")
DOESN't Work,
What do I need to do to move forward?
TIA,
