counting number of columns

[john.9.williams]

Hi,

i am using a find action to find a specific value in a multi column
list.

i can find the value no probs and can return the cell reference the
valueis in.

What i now need to do is use that cell in an offset statement.

i need to find out how many columns over from A1 that my find data is
in.

For instance if my find data was in column d, i would use the offset
number 4

any help greatly appreaciated

try:

Sub mySearch()
Dim c As Range

With ActiveSheet
Set c = .UsedRange.Find(" my specific value", LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then _
MsgBox c.Column
End With
End Sub
