how to detect whether VBA excel found something?
i am using this to in a macro to find stuff in my sheet:
Selection.Find(What:=email, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
how can i tell whether or not it found something?
Solution 1:
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Selection.Find(What:=email, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False)
If Not rng Is Nothing Then 'when rng <> nothing means found something'
rng.Activate
End IF
Solution 2:
Find
returns a Range object that will ave value Nothing
if What
is not found. From the help:
With Worksheets(1).Range("a1:a500")
Set c = .Find(2, lookin:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = c.Address
Do
c.Value = 5
Set c = .FindNext(c)
Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address <> firstAddress
End If
End With
Solution 3:
Selection.Find is like using Ctrl+F to find a value. You can then check against Activecell.Value to see if you got the desired result.
