Search range based on input from a cell and then contents of list cell immediately to the left in an array

  • Hi, I have a list of text values I need to search a range in a workseet. The range is just one column. I need to search that column "E" and then return the value in the same row but from column C. I tried using INDEX ARRAY but that didn't work.

    Hoping VBA could be a solution. It has been a while since I have used VBA so I am a little rusty.


    Thanks

  • Where is the list of values to be searched? Where do you want to return the values from column C?

    Practice makes perfect. I am very far from perfect so I'm still practising.

  • As "Mumps" mentioned, don't be shy by giving us needed information in a concise manner.

    You have to remember that you have the workbook in question in front of you while we're just taking a stab at what we think it looks like.


    For lack of pertinent info, either of these or a combination maybe.

    Code
    Sub Maybe_A()
    Dim txtArr, i As Long
    txtArr = Array("Text1", "Text2", "Text3")    '<---- List of values. Expand as required
    For i = LBound(txtArr) To UBound(txtArr)
    MsgBox Columns(5).Find(txtArr(i), , , 1).Offset(, -2).Value
    Next i
    End Sub


    Code
    Sub Maybe_B()
    Dim c As Range
    For Each c In Range("H2:H" & Cells(Rows.Count, 8).End(xlUp).Row)    '<---- List of values to be found
    Columns(5).Find(c, , , 1).Offset(, 2).Value = Columns(5).Find(c, , , 1).Offset(, -2).Value
    Next c
    End Sub
