Cell searching and delete function
What I need to figure out how to do is search through a certain group of
cells like--C1:C250, and if it matches with G2, I would like whatever "C" cell that matches with the "G" cell deleted. I hope this makes sense. I have no idea how to make this happen or if it is possible Searches C1:C250 and finds match for cell G2 then deletes the "C" cell. Any help would be wonderful. |

You will need to use a macro. Open the VBE (Alt+F11), Insert - Module. Paste
this in: Sub FindAndDestory() For Each cell In Range("C1:C250") If cell.Value = Range("G2") Then cell.ClearContents End If Next cell End Sub 'You can then play this macro from XL, Under Tools-Macros-Maco 'Note that when you run this, it will apply to the sheet currently visible. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Dan C." wrote: What I need to figure out how to do is search through a certain group of cells like--C1:C250, and if it matches with G2, I would like whatever "C" cell that matches with the "G" cell deleted.

Cell searching and delete function
How do I modify that to continue to do that down every G cell
Ex: G2 then G3 then G4 etc to like G121? I did play around with it to try to do this on my own but I do know have the knowledge yet or brain capacity to figure it out. :) "Luke M" wrote: You will need to use a macro.

Sub FindAndDestroy()
For Each cell In Range("C1:C250") With Range("G2:G121") Set c = .Find(cell.Value, LookIn:=xlValues) If Not c Is Nothing Then firstAddress = c.Address Do cell.ClearContents Set c = .FindNext(c) Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address < firstAddress End If End With Next cell End Sub -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Dan C." wrote: How do I modify that to continue to do that down every G cell Ex: G2 then G3 then G4 etc to like G121?
