match
Hi,
I'm trying to test to see if a string exists in a range. foundmatch = Application.WorksheetFunction.Match("wjv", Range("staff").Value, 0) works if range staff is a single column or row, if the range is a matrix it returns 0 I tried useing foundcount = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("group _code").Value, "WVJ") where group_code is more than a single row or column, it also returns 0. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. peter |

Try dropping the ".value" from your countif example.

first, thanks for your help.
I took off the .value, then the range, then the quotes, nothing worked.

Countif only works on a range, not an array
foundcount = Application.CountIf(Range("group_code"), "WVJ") should give you the correct count of cells that contain only the characters WVJ in that order. You are correct that match only works on a single column or single row. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "peter" wrote: first, thanks for your help.
