Hi,
I have an Ascending ordered column. How can I make a mcro to use as reference the first row that matches my criteria? (I want to know in which row "conclued" starts and finishes)

THANKS!
 

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
a few ways, one way would be utilising native XL match formula

assuming lookup criteria is in column A of Sheet1, x marks the spot...(ie row number in column A)

Code:
x = Application.WorksheetFunction.Match("concluded",Sheets("Sheet1").Columns(1),0)

note: you will need an error handler also in case you don't find a match... else VBA will bug out
