Hello from Steved

Can the message box be change to have 2 options please

1 To cancel if found ( "I have more than one" )

2 To continue if not found. I Thankyou.

Dim res As String, saddr As String
Dim RgToSearch As Range, RgFound As Range
Dim secondValue As String
Set RgToSearch = ActiveSheet.Range("C:C")

res = Application.InputBox("Type School Number as 001,8.00 to find the
school you are looking for", _
"Find School", , , , , , 2)
If res = "False" Then Exit Sub 'exit if Cancel is clicked
res = Trim(UCase(res))
If res = "" Then Exit Sub 'exit if no entry and OK is clicked
If InStr(1, res, ",", vbTextCompare) = 0 Then
MsgBox "Invalid entry"
Exit Sub
End If
v = Split(res, ",")
res = Trim(v(LBound(v)))
secondValue = Trim(v(UBound(v)))
Set RgFound = RgToSearch.Find(what:=res, _
LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=False)
If RgFound Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "School " & res & " not found."
Exit Sub
Else
saddr = RgFound.Address
Do
If RgFound.Offset(0, 1).Text = secondValue Then
Application.Goto Reference:= _
RgFound.Offset(0, -1).Address(True, True, xlR1C1)
' commenting out the next line should do it
MsgBox "Click to Continue Searching"
' Exit Do
End If
Set RgFound = RgToSearch.FindNext(RgFound)
Loop While RgFound.Address <> saddr

End If
If RgFound.Offset(0, 1).Text <> secondValue Then
MsgBox " School Not Found"
End If
End Sub

Hi Steved

Example for column A

Sub Find_First()
Dim FindString As String
Dim Rng As Range
FindString = InputBox("Enter a Search value")
If Trim(FindString) <> "" Then
With Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A:A")
Set Rng = .Find(What:=FindString, _
After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False)
If Not Rng Is Nothing Then
Application.Goto Rng, True
Else
MsgBox "Nothing found"
End If
End With
End If
End Sub

If you have more then one occurrence of the value this will select the last occurrence.

Sub Find_Last()
Dim FindString As String
Dim Rng As Range
FindString = InputBox("Enter a Search value")
If Trim(FindString) <> "" Then
With Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A:A")
Set Rng = .Find(What:=FindString, _
After:=.Cells(1), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
MatchCase:=False)
If Not Rng Is Nothing Then
Application.Goto Rng, True
Else
MsgBox "Nothing found"
End If
End With
End If
End Sub
