I'm slowly putting together a workbook and need to create a column currency total above a specific cell. The column number will change due to multiple users, but it will always be found in row A. This is the most recent code I've used but I get an Object variable or With block variable not set error. I tried adding With/End With but it didn't like that either. Appreciate any help as this is my last step to complete this project. Thanks.

Sub FindEx1()
Range("B2:BL2").Find("Potential Debit Amt").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Select
End Sub

Using a mouse in Excel is the work equivalent of wearing a lanyard when you first get to college
Try this:
VBA Code:
Cells.Find(What:="Potential Debit Amt", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Offset(-1, 0).Activate

Thanks for the reply but I received the same error message and the entire block was highlighted in yellow.

Please upload your code complete.
Are you have With section on your code Without End With?

Or Are you have these Words at your file at all. Maybe you have wrong spelling when writing?

but I get an Object variable or With block variable not set error.
It's what happens when nothing is found ! Maybe the space is not a space !​
See the VBA help of Range.Find method in order to check if something matches …​
As you can try to operate manually and once it works operate the same with the Macro Recorder activated.​
Another way is to use the worksheet function MATCH.​
For further help attach your workbook via a files hosting website …​

This is what I have so far. It started as some separate macros that I've been working to assemble and fine tune. I have very little experience using VBA so I'm sure this is sloppy. But everything is working up until this point. Thank you for your time.

Aren't your headers called "Potential Debit Amount" & "Debit Amount" or have you changed them?
