find and select a cell

[Guest]

I am looking in column A for a specific Phrase and I want to make that the
active cell so I can perform an essbase zoom in, I am using this code but it
doesn't want to work any suggestions

For r = 1 To rngB.Rows.Count
If ActiveSheet.Cells(r, 1).Value = "Arc Accesories" Then
Set rngTemp = ActiveSheet.Cells(r, 1).Range("A1:A1")
x = EssMenuVZoomIn
End If
Next r


Thanks in advance

Dim rngTemp as Range
For r = 1 To rngB.Rows.Count
If ActiveSheet.Cells(r, 1).Value = "Arc Accesories" Then
Set rngTemp = ActiveSheet.Cells(r, 1)
exit for
end if
Next
if not rngTemp is nothing then
rngTemp.Select
x = EssMenuVZoomIn
else
Msgbox "String was not found"
End If

Tom,

Ignore my last email I am an idiot

but I do have another question, I was hping to expand this and move down
column a and find the next parent select that cell and zoom in and so, I have
about parents to find.

the trouble is that RNGTEMP IAis staying in the original cell selected and
not move down, here is the code I am using

thanks

Set rngB = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns("A:A")
For r = 1 To rngB.Rows.Count
If ActiveSheet.Cells(r, 1).Value = "Arc Accessories" Then
Set rngTemp = ActiveSheet.Cells(r, 1)
Exit For
End If
Next
If Not rngTemp Is Nothing Then
rngTemp.Select
x = EssMenuVZoomIn
Else
MsgBox "String was not found"
End If



Set rngB = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns("A:A")
For r = 1 To rngB.Rows.Count
If ActiveSheet.Cells(r, 1).Value = "Cutting Tables" Then
Set rngTemp = ActiveSheet.Cells(r, 1)
Exit For
End If
Next
If Not rngTemp Is Nothing Then
rngTemp.Select
x = EssMenuVZoomIn
Else
MsgBox "String was not found"
End If

Guess who wrote that line Nigel.

You did. If you haven't defined rngB for use in

rngB.Rows.Count

there is no way I am going to know what you want.

Hi Nigel,
Why don't You use a rather different approach, and simply Loop the following
action:

Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.Find(What:="Arc Accesories", After:=ActiveCell,
LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext,
MatchCase:=False _
, SearchFormat:=False).Select

Do whatever You want to do with this Cell,
and Loop until there are no more cells with "Arc Accesories"?
Rgds,
