Copying a Cell
I'm trying to find a cell with a string of "SALES" and then copy it 2
columns over. Below is my FindCell function and CopyCell sub. I think FindCell is ok, but CopyCell sub isn't coping the cell. Any ideas? Sub CopyCell() Dim cell As Range Set cell = FindCell("SALES", Sheets(1).Cells) If cell Is Nothing Then 'action to take of no match Else cell.Offset(0, 2).Copy Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("AT4") End If End Sub Function FindCell(searchFor As String, _ searchRange As Range) As Range Application.DisplayAlerts = False With searchRange Set FindCell = .Find(what:=searchFor, After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _ LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _ SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False) End With End Function |

Copying a Cell
Hi Scott,
Since Sheets(1) may or my not be the same as Sheets("Sheet1"),. it is probably advisable to replace the forner with latter. I'm trying to find a cell with a string of "SALES" and then copy it 2 columns over. The code as written copies the "SALES" cell (offset by 2 columns) to AT4. Since that is not what you appear to expect, it may be that the copy operation is taking place but you are looking in the wrong place. If AT4 is in fact the correct copy destination, then I would simply make the Sheets(1) === Sheets("Sheet1") amendment and verify that the copy operation is successful. If the intended destination is, however, the found cell offset by 2 columns, are you sure that you want to copy the contents of the found cell, i.e that both cells should read "SALES"? If this really is the case then you could simplify the code with: cell(1, 2).Value = cell.Value --- Regards, Norman "scott" wrote in message ...

Copying a Cell
Sub CopyCell()
Dim cell As Range Set cell = FindCell("SALES", Sheets("Sheet1").Cells() 'this will search the entire sheet until it finds the first match 'if you have a smaller range replace -- .Cells() -- with say ..Range("A1:E100") If cell Is Nothing Then 'action to take of no match Else cell.Copy Destination:=cell.offset(0,2) End If End Sub "scott" wrote: I'm trying to find a cell with a string of "SALES" and then copy it 2 columns over.
