Hi everyone,

Im currently having trouble trying to select a cell based on a found rownumber and a string found in a range.

My code basically searches the range("I5:M5") to find the day name and then searches the "Lines" column to find the line number eg. 604.
Then i need it to select the cell that intersects.

Im currently playing around with this bit of code.
Code:
    Set FindDay = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("I5:M5").Find(What:=curDayName, LookIn:=xlValues)
    Set FindLine = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("B:B").Find(What:=cLine, LookIn:=xlValues)
    FindDay.Select
    ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range(FindLine, FindDay).Select

You should be able to get an idea from this picture.

Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks.

Here is my whole code...

Code:
Sub getData()

Dim curDate As Date
Dim curDayNum As String
Dim curDay As String
Dim curDayName As String
Dim curMonth As String
Dim curWeek As String
Dim curYear As String
Dim dCode As String
Dim cLine As Integer
Dim fPath As String
Dim fName As String
Dim match As Range
Dim findMe As String
Dim TotalQTY As String
Dim FindLine As Range
Dim FindDay As Range
    
'Set daycode
curDayNum = DateDiff("d", DateSerial(Year(curDate), 1, 0), curDate)
'
If Len(curDayNum) <= 3 Then
    curDayNum = "0" & curDayNum
End If
'




curDate = Now
curYear = Format(Date, "yyyy")
curMonth = Format(Date, "mm")
curDay = Format(Date, "dd")
curDayName = Format(Date, "ddd")
If curDayName = "Thu" Then curDayName = "Thur"
dCode = curYear & curMonth




For cLine = 601 To 604


      
Select Case cLine


'These numbers will be skipped
Case 601, 603
'    goto next line




Case Else


    'set the path and file names
    'fPath = n & ":\Production\PROD POWDERS\" & Lnum & " Time Sheets"
    fPath = "C:\Users\lpkin_000\Dropbox\Firming Meeting Macro\"
    'fArchive = "\"
    fName = cLine & " Time Sheet " & dCode & ".xlsm"
    
    'open timesheets
    Workbooks.Open Filename:=fPath & fName, ReadOnly:=True


    'Goto correct day sheet
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Day " & curDay).Select
    
    'Get Total units produced
    Set match = ActiveSheet.Cells.Find("Total")
    TotalQTY = match.Offset(, 2).Value
    
    'close workbook
    ActiveWorkbook.Close


    'Input in correct cell
    'make sure correct sheet is selected!!
    Set FindDay = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("I5:M5").Find(What:=curDayName, LookIn:=xlValues)
    Set FindLine = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("B:B").Find(What:=cLine, LookIn:=xlValues)
    FindDay.Select
    ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range(FindLine, FindDay).Select
    ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.Offset(FindLine.Row, 0)).Select
    'FindLine.Offset(
    
    
End Select
Next


End Sub

If 'FindDay' is returning the day of the week correctly and if 'FindLine' is returning the number correctly, then the following code should select the intersection of the two cells:
Code:
Cells(FindLine.Row, FindDay.Column).Select
