    Finding and Setting Columns

    Hey Everyone,

    I've got columns labelled using two seperate cells. I want to find these columns using a macro so that I can then copy and paste certain rows of information from these columns. The only problem is since the columns are labelled using two cells sometimes key words repeat. So I have tried to create a search and check. However when I try to paste data using methods I have used in the past it doesn't seem to work. I get Run Time Error '1004' Application-Defined or object defined error.

    I know I've probably explained this poorly so I've attached a work book and the code below.

    Thanks for help in advance

    Why don't you explain in plain English what you are trying to achieve, and then we can correct your code or perhaps suggest alternative methods.

    Hey Stephen,

    I'll take another shot at it. In a logical since what I want to do is find the column labelled "Alloc Oil" . Then from this column I want to select data under that heading. For example in the code I provided I am interested in finding the data in row 8 under the "Alloc Oil" column.

    The reason I am using the find function is that sometimes these reports can arrive to me in a different format. With the colums not always being in the same order, however their labelling remains consistent.

    So again I want to find specific columns, and then copy and paste data from specific rows under these columns.
