Hello folks
Stumped again.... :(
I want to find and select a cell via VBA based on a text value picked from a userform combobox. The target value will be a text value in a single column which will NOT be sorted and may contain blanks. Is that doable at all?
Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Try this

Change data in red for your information

Code:
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
  Dim sh As Worksheet, f As Range
  If ComboBox1.Value = "" Or ComboBox1.ListIndex = -1 Then Exit Sub
  Set sh = Sheets("[COLOR=#ff0000]Sheet1[/COLOR]")
  Set f = sh.Range("[COLOR=#ff0000]A:A[/COLOR]").Find(ComboBox1.Value, , xlValues, [COLOR=#0000ff]xlWhole[/COLOR])
  If Not f Is Nothing Then
    sh.Select
    f.Select
  Else
    MsgBox "Does not exist"
  End If
End Sub

note: If you want to find part of a text inside the cell, change XlWhole to XlPart
