Help with Find Function
Hello im new to excel VBA i come from a strong Access VBA backround here is
what im tring to do: Im Trying to search for something on another sheet and copy it over to the search sheet as the search results. For the search id like it to return anything that has for example the word "test" in it so if i put "Test" in the search box i want it to recongnize things like "Testing1", "initial Tests", "Test Name 1". ect.. if it has "test" anywhere in the cell i want it to return. this only dose exact maches. any idea how i can get it to do this? Now i was told about a find function im not sure how to implament it. i looked up the function and im a little confused on it. heres another help thread i posted it has the excel file. http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/...099#post805099 im using excel 2003 Code:
Sub clickSearch()
Dim Row As Integer
Dim Col As Integer
Dim RowCopy As Integer
Dim ColCopy As Integer
Dim Copy As Integer
Dim CopyCellA As String
Dim CopyCellB As String
Dim CopyCellC As String
Dim SearchFor
Dim ClrRg
'Clears the search results fields
Set ClrRg = Union(Range("A2:A1000"), Range("B2:B1000"), Range("C2:C1000"))
ClrRg.Clear
'States what you are searching for (via the search box)
SearchFor = Cells(4, 6)
Copy = 1
RowCopy = 1
ColCopy = 1
Row = 2
Col = 1
RunColA:
'Clears any copied infromation
CopyCellA = ""
CopyCellB = ""
CopyCellC = ""
'Checks the cell for the search information, then checks the collum it is
currently in to copy and pase the correct information
If Sheets("ImmageLocations").Cells(Row, Col) Like SearchFor Then
If Col = 1 Then
CopyCellA = Sheets("ImmageLocations").Cells(Row, Col)
CopyCellB = Sheets("ImmageLocations").Cells(Row, Col + 1)
CopyCellC = Sheets("ImmageLocations").Cells(Row, Col + 2)
Else
If Col = 2 Then
CopyCellA = Sheets("ImmageLocations").Cells(Row, Col - 1)
CopyCellB = Sheets("ImmageLocations").Cells(Row, Col)
CopyCellC = Sheets("ImmageLocations").Cells(Row, Col + 1)
Else
If Col = 3 Then
CopyCellA = Sheets("ImmageLocations").Cells(Row, Col
- 2)
CopyCellB = Sheets("ImmageLocations").Cells(Row, Col
- 1)
CopyCellC = Sheets("ImmageLocations").Cells(Row, Col)
End If
End If
End If
If Col = 1 Then
Sheets("Search").Cells(RowCopy + Copy, Col) = CopyCellA
Sheets("Search").Cells(RowCopy + Copy, Col + 1) = CopyCellB
Sheets("Search").Cells(RowCopy + Copy, Col + 2) = CopyCellC
Else
If Col = 2 Then
Sheets("Search").Cells(RowCopy + Copy, Col - 1) = CopyCellA
Sheets("Search").Cells(RowCopy + Copy, Col) = CopyCellB
Sheets("Search").Cells(RowCopy + Copy, Col + 1) = CopyCellC
Else
If Col = 3 Then
Sheets("Search").Cells(RowCopy + Copy, Col - 2) =
CopyCellA
Sheets("Search").Cells(RowCopy + Copy, Col - 1) =
CopyCellB
Sheets("Search").Cells(RowCopy + Copy, Col) = CopyCellC
End If
End If
End If
'Moves to the next Row
Copy = Copy + 1
Row = 1 + Row
GoTo RunColA
Else
Row = 1 + Row
'Checks to see if it has searched all fields in that collum, if so resets
rows and moved to the next collum
If Sheets("ImmageLocations").Cells(Row, Col) = "" Or
IsNull(Sheets("ImmageLocations").Cells(Row, Col)) Then
Col = 1 + Col
Row = 2
If Col = 4 Then
GoTo Endsub
Else
GoTo RunColA
End If
Else
GoTo RunColA
End If
End If
Endsub:
End Sub
if you can sift thrugh the mess here is where im having my problem: If Sheets("ImmageLocations").Cells(Row, Col) Like SearchFor Then the "Like" function is not the correct use here im told i need to use the find function. this code works but only exact matches. (even case) i need case not to be a issue. |
