Hi,
I am trying to locate a specific row number using vba. I need it to be able to look at the contents of a combobox and search for this value in the worksheet and then return the row number that the function returns.

Once I have this value (lRow) I can use this as a cell reference

Using the below I get Run-time error 13 - Type mismatch

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim lRow As Integer
lRow = Application.Match(ComboBox1.Value, Sheets("Trial Tracker").Range("A:A"), 0)
Cells(lRow, 14).Value = TextBox3.Value
Cells(lRow, 15).Value = TextBox4.Value
End Sub

Many Thanks as always
Neil
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Hi,

Are you in a situation where you must have a Match ... ? If no, you do have to deal with the potential errors ....

Also ... you do have to make the Format of your ComboBox remains consistent with the data located in Column A of your worksheet ...

Hope this will help

Hi,
Thanks for coming back to me. It should always match as the combobox is referencing the same list. How do I check formatting? as it is reading 1,2,3,4 etc so I think it is okay

Hi Neil,

Most probably your combobox does contain Text ... (even if visually you see 1,2,3 ...)

and your column A ... with almost the same info shows 1,2,3 ... but within the sheet they are considered as Numbers ...

If that is the case ...you could test the CInt() function ...

Code:
[COLOR=#333333]lRow = Application.Match(CInt(ComboBox1.Value), Sheets("Trial Tracker").Range("A:A"), 0)[/COLOR]

Hope this will help
