Hello all:
Relatively new to Excel, so I hope this question isn't one that could be answered in Excel 101. I have a situation where I would like to determine if a particular 'Case No.' (key column) is in a table; if so, make that row the active row. If not, then give some sort of message saying that the Case No. couldn't be found. I've tried several methods of validating the fact that the number exist and returning its row index in the table. What I've not found via ordinary functions and/or do not know how to do, is to take the returned info and navigate the cursor to the desired row in the table. What I've done: A10:D10 - Table Column Headings (Case No., Name, Date, Comment) A11:D65356 - Possible Table Range A11:A65356 - 'CaseNo' Range Sample Table: Case No. Name Date Comment 123 Joe Blow 1/1/2006 This is a comment 4354 Jane Jones 2/15/2006 Another comment 48314 H. Braddock 2/24/2006 Yet another comment .. Some of the things I've done to insure the validity of what I want to do. C3 - Used as input for the case Number to look for. D3 - Formula to get the row within the table ( = Match(C3,CaseNo,0) ) E3 - Another formula to ensure that I'm getting data (=Index(CaseNo,D3) What I've not been able to find is a way to move the cursor to the location within the table for the returned info. Sorry for such a long post, but wanted to provide as much info as possible. Thanks in advance for any help. Jim |
