I need to make a macro that does the following things:
1. Search for a specific string in one column;
2. If the string is found, add the value in same row, but in differen
column to a variable;
3. Display that variable in a specific cell;

The points I can't seem to be managing to do are 1. and maybe 2.

Is there anyone who could help me?

Thanks in advance,

Nun

lrow = Sheet1.UsedRange.Row + Sheet1.UsedRange.Rows.Count
col = column number you are searching
n = Destination cell Row
p = Destination Cell Column
For x = 1 To lrow
If Cells(x, col).Value = "Search String" Then
varNum = Cells(x, col).Value + Cells(x, col + 1).Value
Cells(n, p).Value = varNum
End If
Next

just use the VLOOKUP function as follows

VariableToAdd
Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(str,range("A 1:B10"),2)

where str is your string and column A1 to A10 contains all the string
and cloumn B1 to B10 contain the numbers.

Careful though. I blieve that will only work if you know for a fact yo
will only get one match for your lookup string

Yeah...I've just noticed that. The VLookUp aproach is nice, but onl
accounts for ONE occurence of the string...

This is to automate production of Totals, from Sub-Total Cells.

The Sub-Totals are made by =Sum(). Now, I need to automate th
production of Totals, which will be the sum of all Sub-Totals, which
never lknow how many they are, reason for which I need to iterate th
cells looking for the string "Sub-Total".

Was I clear? If not please tell me. Sometimes I do have the tendency t
maku simple things, complicated ones. :s
