Hi all,

I need to adapt the following code that was kindly given to me t
include the red bit! I dont know any VB but i would guess that it
only a minor mod?

Sub FormatFoundValues()
Dim entry As Range, foundentry As Range, firstaddress As String
For Each entry In Range("b4:h76") **that is equal to an entry i
the range j2:j30**
Set foundentry = Cells.find(what:=entry.Value)
If Not foundentry Is Nothing Then
firstaddress = foundentry.Address
Do
With foundentry.Font
.ColorIndex = 5
.Bold = True
.Italic = True
End With
Set foundentry = Cells.FindNext(After:=foundentry)
Loop While Not foundentry Is Nothing And foundentry.Addres
< firstaddress
End If
Next entry
End Su

Hi Chris,

Try:

'===============================
Sub FormatFoundValues()
Dim entry As Range, foundentry As Range, firstaddress As String
For Each entry In Range("b4:h76")
If Not IsError(Application.Match _
(entry.Value, Range("J2:J30"), 0)) Then
Set foundentry = Cells.Find(what:=entry.Value)
If Not foundentry Is Nothing Then
firstaddress = foundentry.Address
Do
With foundentry.Font
.ColorIndex = 5
.Bold = True
.Italic = True
End With
Set foundentry = Cells.FindNext(After:=foundentry)
Loop While Not foundentry Is Nothing _
And foundentry.Address < firstaddress
End If

Hi Chris,

And to limit formatting to the designated range, try instead:

Sub FormatFoundValues()

Dim entry As Range, foundentry As Range, firstaddress As String
Dim rng1 As Range, Rng2 As Range

Set rng1 = Range("b4:h76")
Set Rng2 = Range("J2:J30")

For Each entry In rng1
If Not IsError(Application.Match _
(entry.Value, Rng2, 0)) Then
Set foundentry = rng1.Find(After:=rng1(1), _
What:=entry.Value, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext)
If Not foundentry Is Nothing Then
firstaddress = foundentry.Address
Do
With foundentry.Font
.ColorIndex = 5
.Bold = True
.Italic = True
End With
Set foundentry = rng1.FindNext(After:=foundentry)
Loop While Not foundentry Is Nothing _
And foundentry.Address < firstaddress
End If
End If
Next entry
End Sub

hmm,

I tried this and woohoo it does work only it doesnt work...

I figured out why tho, the values I want to format are all being pulle
in via a lookup, is there anyway to make excel think they are just ther
and not part of a formula

I figured out why tho, the values I want to format are all being pulled

LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole


Lookin:=xlValues
says to look at what the formula produces and not at the formula itself.

Lookat:=xlWhole means the match must be to the whole value of the cell.
if you used xlpart, it would match "and" to "Sand" for example

Hi Tom,

Thank you!

My brain and my typing fingers were at variance.
