If this argument is dropped, it will keep returning the first occurrence. Both of these need a reference to the last cell found, so that the search continues after that cell. If you want to find multiple occurrences, we use the FindNext and FindPrevious methods. In all the previous examples, we have been looking for just the first occurrence of the search criteria.
'Output -& amp amp amp amp amp gt $B$3 Set foundRng = Range("B3:H19").Find("*", MatchCase:=True, SearchFormat:=True) 'Search only for cells of a particular format Set foundRng = Range("A3:H19").Find("SA", MatchCase:=True, SearchFormat:=False) 'Output -& amp amp amp amp amp gt $G$15 Set foundRng = Range("A3:H19").Find("SA", MatchCase:=True, SearchFormat:=True) 'Clear any previous format setĪ = 14348258 So, before you use SearchFormat, it is a good practice to always clear any previous formats that have been set. When you search for a format it is important to note that the format settings stick until you change them. Set foundRng = Range("A3:H19").Find("Sa", MatchCase:=False) 'Output -& amp amp amp amp amp gt $D$11 Set foundRng = Range("A3:H19").Find("Alexander", SearchDirection:=xlNext) 'Output -& amp amp amp amp amp gt $D$18 Set foundRng = Range("A3:H19").Find("Alexander",, ,, , xlPrevious) SearchOrder setting is preserved for subsequent searches.Įxample 6: Using SearchDirection 'Searches from the bottom 'Output -& amp amp amp amp amp gt $F$5 Set foundRng = Range("A3:H19").Find("Sa", SearchOrder:=xlColumns)
'Output -& amp amp amp amp amp gt $G$4 Set foundRng = Range("A3:H19").Find("Sa",, , xlPart, xlRows) LookAt setting too is preserved for subsequent searches.Įxample 5: Using SearchOrder 'Searches by rows 'Output -& amp amp amp amp amp gt $D$9 Set foundRng = Range("A3:H19").Find("John", LookAt:=xlWhole) 'Output -& amp amp amp amp amp gt $D$8 Set foundRng = Range("A3:H19").Find("John",, xlValues, xlPart) 'Output -& amp amp amp amp amp gt $D$4Įxample 4: Using LookAt 'Match only a part of a cell 'Output -& amp amp amp amp amp gt $H$4 'Look in values and formula (as previous setting is preserved) Set foundRng = Range("A3:H19").Find("F4", LookIn:=xlFormulas) 'Output -& amp amp amp amp amp gt $B$4 Once you set the value of LookIn all subsequent searches will use this setting of LookIn (using VBA or Excel) 'Look in values.Text is considered as a value as well as a formula.
The highlighted cell will be searched forīefore seeing an example, here are few things to note with LookIn To keep it simple, we will exclude the above error handling in the subsequent examples.Įxample 2: Using after Set foundRng = Range("D3:D19").Find("Andrea", Range("D6"& amp amp amp amp amp lt span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block width: 0px overflow: hidden line-height: 0 " class="mce_SELRES_start"& amp amp amp amp amp gt & amp amp amp amp amp lt /span& amp amp amp amp amp gt )) Let us know have a look at the optional parameters. Set foundRng = Range("D3:D19").Find("Andrea") So, it is always advisable to check whether the value is found before performing any further operations. And an error will be thrown if you try to perform any operation on this (on foundRng in the above example) If the search item is not found then Find returns an object set to Nothing.

The output of this code will be the first occurrence of the search string in the specified range.
