Application.Match("x",rng1,0) would return the column number where the x was located. If you want to put the new x in the column on to the right, then that would be Cells(rng.row,res + 1).Value = "x" res + 3 would be 3 columns to the right. res + 2 would be 2 columns to the right. demo'd from the immediate window: set rng1 = Range("A1:F1") Range("C1").Value = "x" res = Application.Match("x",rng1,0) ? res 3 -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "jsd219" wrote in message ups.com... Thank you Tom, FYI: i had to change the lines to get the "x" in the proper place. Cells(rng.Row, res + 3).Value = "x" Else Cells(rng.Row, res + 2).Value = "x" I am only telling you this because when i changed another script you sent me you pointed out that the script would not work properly with my change and you should me what the correct change should be. :-) I just want to make sure the +3 and +2 above are ok. Speaking of the other script: For Each cell In rng start_str = InStr(1, cell.Value, myword, vbBinaryCompare) If start_str Then Range("B" & cell.Row).Value = 0 cell.EntireRow.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 255, 153) cell.Offset(0, 1).Value = Trim(Left(cell.Value, start_str - 1)) cell.Value = Trim(Right(cell.Value, Len(cell.Value) - start_str + 1)) End If This script works great when it looks for "Chapter" which is at the end of each cell. I have added below: for a second search that looks for "DAY" "DAY" is found at the beginning of the cells followed by a number. i have to keep DAY plus the number in the current cell and move the rest of its contents over. notice what i have done with the -5 and +2. can you show me what i did wrong? :-) start_str2 = InStr(1, cell.Value, myword2, vbBinaryCompare) If start_str2 Then cell.EntireRow.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 204, 0) Range("B" & cell.Row).Value = 1 cell.Offset(0, 1).Value = Trim(Right(cell.Value, Len(cell.Value) - start_str2 - 5)) cell.Value = Trim(Left(cell.Value, Len(myword2) + start_str2 + 2)) End If God bless jsd219 Tom Ogilvy wrote: If you mean in my code: Dim rng as Range, rng1 as Range Dim res as variant set rng = selection set rng1 = cells(rng.row-1,"A").resize(1,6) res = application.Match("x",rng1,0) if not iserror(res) then if res < 6 then cells(rng.row,res + 1).Value = "x" else cells(rng.row,res).Value = "x" end if end if -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "jsd219" wrote in message ups.com... I got the script to work and i am using Set rng = Selection now i am in the position you referenced earlier. Column "F" How would i tell the script that if it finds an "x" in column "F" of the above row place an "x" in the same column NOT one to the right. :-) God bless jsd219 Tom Ogilvy wrote: Dim rng as Range, rng1 as Range Dim res as variant set rng = cells.Find("Went up the hill") set rng1 = cells(rng.row-1,"A").resize(1,6) res = application.Match("x",rng1,0) if not iserror(res) then cells(rng.row,res + 1).Value = "x" end if What happends if the match was made in F; write to G? What happended to Don? -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "jsd219" wrote in message ups.com... Sure this is a post from an earlier thread: I am trying to write a script that looks for a cell with specified text in a specified column, once it finds the cell it needs to check six different columns (a,b,c,d,e,f) one row above and find the column that has an "x", it then needs to place an "x" in its row one column to the right from the previous "x" example: if it finds the cell with "Went up the hill" the script needs to look up one row and check columns (a,b,c,d,e,f) until it finds the "X". In this case it will find the "X" on the row with "JACK AND JILL" in column "a" so it will place an "X" for the row "Went up the hill" (the orginal cell searched for) in column "b" a b c d e f g X JACK AND JILL Went up the hill To fetch 3.5 Pales God bless jsd219 Gary Keramidas wrote: give us an example of exactly what you're trying to do -- Gary "jsd219" wrote in message ups.com... Here is a problem i am having, i need to not only make the range start one row above the selected cell but i also need it to cover multiple columns. any ideas?
