Assign Match result to a variable

[thegingerbandit]

Hi all,

I am trying to assign the result of a match function to a variable, as I will need to use it several times and don't want to run the function repeatedly.

I thought the below code would do this, but I receive the Run-time error '438' : Object doesn't support this property or method.

code:

Administrative Note:

Welcome to the forum.

We would very much like to help you with your query, however you need to include code tags around your code.

Please take a moment to add the tags. Posting code between tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, and it also maintains VBA formatting.

Please see Forum Rule #2 about code tags and adjust accordingly. Click on Edit to open your post, then highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here

I did it for you this time. Please read forum rules. Thanks

Remember that this is VBA and not Excel, so we cannot use the same syntax we use in Excel. Worksheets(sheetname) is a reference to an entire worksheet. VBA does not know how to concatenate a worksheet object with the text string "!J"&i. Also note that "Allcodes!B:B" is just a text string here and not a range reference.

It looks like your intention is to search for the value in Ji of the worksheet identified by the value of sheetname. I would probably use the range.value or range.value2 properties to extract that value. Something like ...Match(ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(sheetname).Cells(i,10).Value, ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Allcodes").Range("B:B"), 0).

I find that a lot of work with VBA in Excel is about accessing ranges, so there could be some value in familiarizing yourself with the Range object, how to refer to a specific range object, and the things you can do with/to a range object: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/off....range(object)
