Speed - or lack of it
 

I have a range of 5 columns 2000 rows long.
I need to look up one specific date in the 1st column.
Is it faster to use ".Find" or " For Each...Next".
I will not ".Select" the found item.
Any advice much appreciated.

While I suspect the Find method will be faster, it might be easiest if
you checked the performance of the two options yourself.

Find would be faster, but it often has trouble with finding dates. I would
use application.Match

Dim res as Variant, rng as Range, myDate as Date
With Worksheets("Data")
set rng = .Range(.Cells(1,1),.Cells(rows.count,1).End(xlup))
End With
myDate = #12/23/2004#
res = Application.Match(clng(myDate),rng,0)
if not iserror(res) then
msgbox "Found in cell " & rng(res).Address
Else
msgbox "Not found"
End if
