Match Function in Specific Column Excel VBA

Tag: excel,vba,excel-vba,match,worksheet-function

I'm trying to write a program in VBA for Excel 2011 that can search a column (which column that is is determined by another variable) for the number 1 so that it knows where to start an iteration.

Say that the number of the column is given by colnumvar. The only way I can think of is the Match function, which led me to write the following:

Dim rowvar As Integer
rowvar = WorksheetFunction.Match(1,Range(Cells(1,colnumvar),Cells(1000,colnumvar)),0)

This gave me an error, however. After playing around with it some more, I realized that it must not accept the Cells([row],[col]) way of doing it, but rather wants something like Range("A1:A100"). Unfortunately, I can't do it that way, since the program is figuring out what column to look in. Any help for figuring out how to get past this would be greatly appreciated!

Best How To :

What you mean to do is better served with Range.Find.

Dim rngtrg As Range, rngsrc As Range
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ActiveSheet
Set rngsrc = ws.Range(ws.Cells(1,colnumvar),ws.Cells(1000,colnumvar))
Set rngtrg = rngsrc.Find(1,...)
rowvar = rngtrg.Row
