Get 3rd future value for referent text

[smide]

Hello.


In columns A and B (A2:B600) I have a lists of customer names and their buying prices in columns D and E (D2:E600).
When customer name is in column A his buying price is in column D (same row of course) and when customer is in column B his bying price is in column E.


I'm trying to analyze the future buying prices for each customer, more precisely the 3rd future buying price (from referent/current one) for each customer and to place those results into columns F and G.


When name is in column A result (3rd future buying price) should be in column F and when name is in column B result should be in column G.


example (for customer Name1).

	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H
1						results	results
2	Name1			3		2
3
4		Name1			8		25
5	Name1			12		17
6
7	Name1			2
8		Name1			25
9		Name1			17
10	....	....

<tbody>
</tbody>

results explanation: for cell A2 (Name1 first occurrence) 3rd future occurence (Name1) is in cell A7 and buying price for that 3rd future occurence is in cell D7 = 2, so result in cell F2 is equal to 2

note: just as an option (if possible) I would like also to have reverse formula (3rd past buying price for each customer)

Smide,

Try running this code and let me know how it works for you...

Sub Macro1()


Dim C As Range


For Each C In Range("A1:B300")
    If C <> "" Then
    With Range("A" & C.Row & ":B600")
    Cells.Find(What:=C.Text, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:= _
        xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False _
        , SearchFormat:=False).Activate
    Cells.FindNext(After:=ActiveCell).Activate
    Cells.FindNext(After:=ActiveCell).Activate
    Cells.FindNext(After:=ActiveCell).Activate
    ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Copy
    C.Offset(0, 4).PasteSpecial
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    End With
    End If
Next


End Sub

Unfortunately, something's wrong with this code.

It deleted my data (prices) from column E and populate it with some numbers (incorrect results)...
But thanks anyway for trying, I appreciate it.
