Which row am i?

[kapfrank]

Is it possible that if my active cell is F12.
I can work with number of the row, in this example number 12.

I need that number so i can work in other sheets with this number.
:wink: :wink:

Welcome to the Board!

You can use =ROW() to get a row's number.

For any more detailed help, you'd need to popst back with more specific information as to what you're trying to accomplish.

Hope that helps,

I've made a macro but it isn't working.
Could somebody help me.

Dim k As String
Dim l As Variant

Do
k = ""
k = Application.InputBox("Van welke persoon wilt u een overzicht", "overzicht", Type:=2)
Loop While k = ""

Columns("E:E").Select
Selection.Find(What:=k, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate 'with this line i find a name in a colum'

'Now i want to know the row number, for example it is 12'

l = row() 'i think this is wrong, but i don't know what!'

'because i want to use that number in an other sheet'

Range("B" & l).Select

Hey, maybe an adaptation such as ...

In VBA, getting the row is a little different. You must have some sort of worksheet object to return the row from. If it's not valid then it won't work. In the code you posted, Activecell.Row would have sufficed for the row number, but you don't need all that selecting and activating going on.

HTH
