Hi -
My Excel sheet has two columns that represent minimum and maximum
income limits - looks a little like this:
Column A Column B
1 3
4 6
7 10
11 13

and so on up to 3800 or so. I want users to be able to enter a number,
and be taken to the row that corresponds; for example, if a user enters
12, I want them to be taken to the row where column A = 11 and column
B=13.
I've managed to come up with the VLOOKUP statement to find the closest
matching number in column A (VLOOKUP("data entry cell",A3:B1162, 1,
TRUE)), but I can't figure out how to use the result of the VLOOKUP in
a Find function to take the user to the appropriate row.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ginger

Worksheet functions can't change selections. You'll need an event macro
to do that.

One way:

Put this in the worksheet code module (right-click the worksheet tab and
choose View Code):

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim nMax As Long
nMax = Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Value
With Target
If .Address(False, False) = "D1" Then _
If IsNumeric(.Value) Then _
If .Value = 1 And .Value <= nMax Then _
Cells(Application.Match(.Value, Range("A:A"), _
True), 1).EntireRow.Select
End With
End Sub

This assumes that cell D1 is the user entry cell - modify to suit.
