Default Using macros to "find" data and use that as a reference

Ryan

I'm glad you found a solution.

This is how the page is layed out.
the input sheet has:
A date entered into A2
Data entered into a range of cells (B2:C20)
All of the data entered into cells B2:C20 is related to the date
entered into A2.
At the end of the week the data and date are changed to the new data
The Main sheet has:
A series of weekending dates (for the entire year) all on row 4
The data from teh input sheet (B2:C20) needs to be pasted one cell
down and two
cells left. (FYI the reason they are pasted there is because
those cells are
actually hidden because they are just used in a formula to get
a percentage
that is in the cells directly below the date.

I found a macro that worked, I just wanted to make it clear what I was
looking for. Your macro would have worked if I was looking to take one cell
and move it to the Main page. Unfortunatly I was looking to move all of the
cells in B2:C20.

This is the macro that ended up working.

Sub CopyDataBlock()
Dim dt As Date, res As Variant
Dim rng As Range
'Take a specified date from cell A2 on page "Input"
dt = Sheets("Input").Range("A2").Value
' find that date on page "Main".
' all dates on "Reports" are in row 4.
res = Application.Match(CLng(dt), _
Sheets("Main").Rows(4), 0)
If Not IsError(res) Then
'copy B2:C20 to a cell range that
'starts Left 2, Down 1
Set rng = Sheets("Main").Cells(5, res - 2)
Sheets("Input").Range("B6:C20").Copy Destination:=rng
End If
End Sub

Thanks for the help with this macro. I had been racking my brain for hours
on end trying to figure out how to do this. Your promt responce (24 minutes)
to my first post put faith in this discussion group which caused me to
continue to use this. Thanks for all the help.
