Find first occurence of specific data in a column.

[Guest]

I would like to be able to run a macro that will find the first occurence in
a column of specified data. There are multiple rows with 1.2005 then more
multiple rows with 2.2005 and so on. I need to locate the first instance of
1.2005, 2.2005 etc and return the value in a cell in the same row but an
adjacent column.
Many thanks.

Since your data is sorted then:
=vlookup(1.2005,A1:B2000,2,False)

in VBA

res = application.Vlookup(1.2005,Range("A1:B2000"),2,False)

just whack:

=if(a2=a1,"It changes here!","")

in cell b2 then copy it down
