Find - 2 possible things to find
I am using VBA to find a specific value. The problem is that humans
have not used the standad form and have changed the thing that I want found. I want to find "1st Converting run" or "1st. Converting Run". Notice the period behind the 1st I want to note the address of either of these finds. Thanks, Jay |

Find - 2 possible things to find
On my worksheet, F12 has: 1st Converting run (no period)
F13 has: 1st. Converting run (with the period) The sub below displays OK for each cell Sub testit2() mytest = "1st Converting run" For Each mycell In Range("F12:F13") If WorksheetFunction.Substitute(mycell, ".", "") = mytest Then MsgBox "OK" Else MsgBox "No match" End If Next End Sub best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "jlclyde" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Jay- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I want to find the address of which ever one is present and not bug out or throw an error. Both will never be present in the same sheet. Thanks, Jay |
