Searching array for date and changing offset colour depeding on combobox content?
 

Hi all, i have a Userform3 that has 2 comboboxes on it one selects a
name the other selects a date, when clicking the command button how do
i get to search through arr = Array("Week1", "Week2", "Week3", "Week4",
"Week5", _
"Week6") to find the date and when it does offset(1,x) and change
colour lets say to Red where x would be dependent on the name in the
combobox e.g offset(1,1) would be Lauren offset(1,2) would be Emma and
offset(1,3) would be Cheryl, then once they have had their holiday and
the colour change is older than one week turn the cell colour back to
its original colour (they are different for each girl), The dates
appear only in column A in the places listed below:

Range("A1")
Range("A49")
Range("A97")
Range("A145")
Range("A193")

Probably trying to do too much here!, all help much appreciated!

Regards,
Simon

I am not sure what the precise problem is you are trying to solve, but this
will get you the array element that has the particular week:

dim i as long

for i = 0 to ubound(arr)
if arr(i) = "Week3" then
exit for
end if
next

msgbox "Week3 found in array element " & i

Searching array for date and changing offset colour depeding on combobox content?
 

Thanks for the reply RB i'm not trying to find a week (or sheet named
that week) in the array i want to search through the sheets in the
array looking for a date match to the one in combobox1 on my userform3
when it finds the match i need it to offset(1,x) and change colour lets
say to Red where x would be dependent on the name in the combobox2 e.g
offset(1,1) would be Lauren offset(1,2) would be Emma and offset(1,3)
would be Cheryl, then once they have had their holiday and the colour
change is older than one week turn the cell colour back to its original
colour (they are different for each girl), The dates appear only in
column A on each of the sheets in the places listed below:

Range("A1")
Range("A49")
Range("A97")
Range("A145")
Range("A193")

Any other ideas?

Regards,
Simon

So, what is the exact bit you are having a problem with?
Maybe have a look at the posting: Row number of a specific value in this
same NG, posted today.

RB the posting didn't have anything relevant to what i was trying to
achieve, so here is what i have patched together to try to do the job,
it does search each worksheet one by one but does not find the value in
the combobox....but it does exist, can you help try and straighten this
out?

Regards,
Simon

Not sure what is going on he

rng.Select
r.Select

rng.Select won't do anything here as you are selecting another range
straight after.
Selecting ranges should be avoided in any case as you don't have to and it
will slow your code down.
