ok, so i have been at this for awhile, I think my issue might be im trying to
compare only numbers, and some of the things i am trying to compare are text.
anyone that could help me correct this would be greatly appreciated..

Dim r1 As Long
Dim r2 As Long

Dim cell As Variant

FR = 1
LR = tsh.Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = tsh.Range(tsh.Cells(FR, 1), tsh.Cells(LR, 1))

For Each cell In rng
On Error Resume Next
r1 = 0: r2 = 0: r3 = 0
r1 = ssh.Columns(1).Find(cell.Offset(0, 0)).Row
r2 = ssh.Columns(2).Find(cell.Offset(0, 1)).Row
r3 = ssh.Columns(3).Find(cell.Offset(0, 2)).Row
If r1 = 0 Or r1 < r2 Or r1 < r3 Then
Else: cell.Offset(0, 6) = ssh.Cells(r1, 7)
End If
Next cell
End Sub
