change 'Found.EntireRow.Copy' to a # of columns

[trevorc]

I need to change the code below so that it returns a range of cells rather than the entire row, I need it to return a range of B to K columns for the found row.


found is the search string i'm looking for.

Set Found = .UsedRange.Find(what:=myText, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, MatchCase:=False)
            If Not Found Is Nothing Then
                FirstAddress = Found.Address
                Do
                    foundNum = foundNum + 1
                    AddressStr = .Name & " " & Found.Address & vbCrLf
                    Set Found = .UsedRange.FindNext(Found)Found.EntireRow.Copy Destination:=Worksheets("instructions").Range("a2" & foundNum)

Can you help?

thanks in advance.

Actually 'myText' is the search string you're looking for.
Found is the single cell range where it's found, from which you get the row.

You need to specify the range to copy, something like

Range("B" & Found.Row & ":K" & Found.Row).Copy

Thanks for the help,
In the end I used the following to resolve the problems

Set Found = .Range("B3:B1000").Find(what:=myText, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, MatchCase:=False)

and

Worksheets(ws.Name).Range("B2:L2").Copy
Worksheets("instructions").Range("B" & 17 + foundNum).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False

this will now only search the cells required and paste the headers for each sheet at the top of rows of data returned from each sheet

searches multiple sheets eccept selected ones, returns the row data for each found value, creates a hyperlink for that row and puts it at the start of the row. it also creates a header row for each sheet were search was found (sample shown using test data prior to implementation)
