offset.cell

[Guest]

Hello,

I need help designing a VBA Macro: I have in cell A1 "Paid" in cell G8
"total" in cell H8 $100.00

What I need is: to cell.find "paid" then to do cell.offset to G8 to
select.copy the value in H8. Is this possible ?
Regards,

Minimally, the code looks like this:

Sub Copy_If_Paid()
If ActiveCell.Value = "Paid" Then
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 7).Copy
End If
End Sub

This works when the cell pointer is already on cell A1. A lot depends
on how your information is displayed on the spreadsheet. Do you have
many rows of Paid / Unpaid entries? Often I'll have a macro process
many rows in a spreadsheet, and I'll use a DO loop to repeat an
operation until it reaches the first blank row, or I enter the word
"Stop" when the data rows have ended.
What does your information look like?

Thank you.
But I still need to offset the activecell to "Total" to select.copy the
value in H. Since I won't know how many rows there are between "Paid" "Total"

Hi
is your 'Total' label always in column G?

 

[Guest]

Total is always in column G and the value I need always in column H
Thanks,

Hi
one way in VBA

dim return_value
return_value=application.vlookup("Total",range("G:H"),2,0)
msgbox return_value

Thank you,
That's What I wanted, but I need first to do a cell.find in column A
for"paid" then I can do your macro.

Hi
why do you need this 'find' command first?

 

[Guest]

Hi,
Because in my worksheet, I have in column A, the following texts:
Paid
Unpaid
Disputed.

That's why I need a cell.find first.
Thanks,

Hi
you may provide some more detail about how your complete spreadsheet looks
like and what in total you're trying to achieve

Here's an example.
Cell.find "paid" then do activecell.offset to "total" to select "2,672.25"
A B
G H
Paid Gate Safe Catering sealing 52.25 Turn 21 DL Global Selectee
PIF 40.00 Turn 0
Aircraft Search 75.00 Turn
City of Philadelphia 29.00 Print
TOTAL $2,672.25
Thanks,

Hi
but you stated that column A can also contain other values. Really not sure
what you have to check. Maybe (but just a wild guess):

sub foo()
dim startpos as long
dim ret_value
startpos=application.Match("Paid",Range("A:A"),0)
if not iserror(startpos) then
ret_value=application.vlookup("Total",Range("G" & startpos &
"H1000"),2,0)
msgbox ret_value
end if
end sub

Hi,
Thank you again that is I wanted.
But I'm getting a Run-tiem error 1004 on this line:
ret_value=application.vlookup("Total",Range("G" & startpos & "H1000"),2,0)
Thanks,

Hi
typo. Use:
ret_value=application.vlookup("Total",Range("G" & startpos & ":H1000"),2,0)
