set range up until text vba help

You can use something like this...

Dim ws as worksheet
set ws=Sheets("Run")
lrow=ws.cells(cells.rows.count,"b").end(xlup).row
set rng=ws.range("A1:B" & lrow)

Select allOpen in new window

Saurabh...

Hi,
pls try

   Set rng = Range("A1").Resize(lr, Val(Mid(Worksheets(1).Range("B4"), 5, 2)) - 1)

you had 6 when Week9 has only 5 letters

Regards

Do you mean you want to set the range from A1 to the cell in column A that has the text that is in B4?

Do you want to include the "RUN" row or the row before that?

Isn't 'RUN' the name of the worksheet?

@Norie

It wasn't clear whether the text was missing an equals sign

...until that text of the B4 on worksheet = "RUN"

...or if the row needed to be the last row containing the text value of cell B4
...or whether we sought the last non-empty row in column B.

It would be a more clearly defined problem if we had a representative sample workbook.

To be clear:

the worksheet "RUN" will list the Week name in B4. This week name is in the format of: "Week #".
It can be anywhere from "Week 1" to "Week 52".

Throughout the rest of the workbook are other tabs, which are created by my macro. I'm currently using this code to grab the range:

'set new range
   lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
   Set rng = Range("A1").Resize(lr, Val(Mid(Worksheets(1).Range("B4"), 6)) + 3)

However, I notice that if I have "Week 9" in B4 on the Run worksheet, my range actually captures up to "Week 10". So something is off here..

On the other tabs, to be clear, the weeks are in the title bar, so A1:BF1

Assuming you want to start at A1 and go down as far as the first instance of the text specified in B4, you can use the MATCH function:

=MATCH($B$4,Run!$A:$A,0)

The VBA equivalent may have to use the "Application.WorkbookFunction" statement but will generate a variable value which can then be used as the last row of the range.

thanks Norie! works great
