Using an array to search active sheet - arrays

I have a worksheet which is updated regularly with details of duplicate records from a database.
I am trying to edit our current macro which searches for particular records however as I am new to Excel VBA I am struggling.
The macro works great however it only returns the cell reference for each ID number once. I am struggling to work out how to get it to return every cell reference for every time the specified ID number is listed.
The code I currently have is as follows (there are more ID numbers in the code but to save time I have removed these):
Sub IDSearch()
'
Dim rg As Range
Dim lnglastrow As Long
Dim intnamemax As Integer
Dim strName() As String
Dim fnd As Boolean
intnamemax = 42
ReDim strName(1 To intnamemax)
strName(1) = "OR123456"
strName(2) = "C00123456"
strName(3) = "UK123456"
lnglastrow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
For I = 1 To intnamemax
Set c = Range("j2:j" & lnglastrow).Find(strName(I), LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Proxy Candidate Found at " & c.Address
fnd = True
End If
Next I
If Not fnd Then
MsgBox "No Proxy Candidates Found ", vbOKOnly, "Success!"
End If
End Sub

Please try the code below:
Sub IDSearch()
'
Dim rg As Range
Dim lnglastrow As Long
Dim intnamemax As Integer
Dim strName() As String
Dim fnd As Boolean
intnamemax = 42
ReDim strName(1 To intnamemax)
strName(1) = "OR123456"
strName(2) = "C00123456"
strName(3) = "UK123456"
lnglastrow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
For I = 1 To intnamemax
For J = 2 to lnglastrow
'Set c = Range("j2:j" & lnglastrow).Find(strName(I), LookIn:=xlValues)
If Instr(Range("J" & J).Value, strName(I)) > 0 Then
'If Not c Is Nothing Then
'MsgBox "Proxy Candidate Found at " & c.Address
MsgBox "Proxy Candidate Found at " & "J" & J
fnd = True
'End If
Next J
Next I
If Not fnd Then
MsgBox "No Proxy Candidates Found ", vbOKOnly, "Success!"
End If
End Sub
Hope this help

try this
Option Explicit
Sub IDSearch()
Dim intnamemax As Integer
intnamemax = 42
Dim strName() As String
ReDim strName(1 To intnamemax)
strName(1) = "OR123456"
strName(2) = "C00123456"
strName(3) = "UK123456"
Dim lnglastrow As Long
lnglastrow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
Dim c As Range
Dim fnd As Boolean
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To intnamemax
Set c = Range("j2")
Do While True
If strName(i) = "" Then Exit Do
Set c = c.Resize(lnglastrow).Offset(1).Find(strName(i), LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
Debug.Print strName(i); " found at " & c.Address
' MsgBox "Proxy Candidate Found at " & c.Address
fnd = True
Else
Exit Do
End If
Loop
Next i
If Not fnd Then
MsgBox "No Proxy Candidates Found ", vbOKOnly, "Success!"
End If
End Sub

Check out .FindNext. Something like this (havent tested it).
Dim f As Range
For I = 1 To intnamemax
Set c = Range("j2:j" & lnglastrow).Find(strName(I), LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
f = c.Address
MsgBox f
Do
Set c = c.FindNext(c)
MsgBox c.Address
Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address <> f
End If
Next I

Fetching email addresses with email domain cell value

I fetch email addresses from my Outlook account.
Now I am trying to fetch only specific email address from inbox e.g. Gmail.com that returns gmail addresses only.
I modified the code where I used array to store the addresses temporarily and then compare to string. After altering the code it returns nothing (not even errors).
Option Explicit
Sub GetInboxItems()
Dim ol As outlook.Application
Dim ns As outlook.Namespace
Dim fol As outlook.Folder
Dim I As Object
Dim mi As outlook.MailItem
Dim N As Long
Dim val As String
Dim MyArray() As String, MyString As String, J As Variant, K As Integer
Dim MyAs As Variant
Dim Awo As Variant
MyString = Worksheets("Inbox").Range("D1")
MyArray = Split(MyString, ";")
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set ol = New outlook.Application
Set ns = ol.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set fol = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
'Dim inputSheet As Worksheet
'Dim aCellOnInputSheet As Range
'Dim inputDateCell As Range
'Dim userSheetName As String
'Set cod = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Inbox")
'Set aCellOnInputSheet = cod.Range("D1")
'userSheetName = aCellOnInputSheet.Value
Range("A3", Range("A3").End(xlDown).End(xlToRight)).Clear
N = 2
For Each I In fol.Items
If I.Class = olMail Then
Set mi = I
N = N + 1
If mi.SenderEmailType = "EX" Then
MyAs = Array(mi.Sender.GetExchangeUser().PrimarySmtpAddress)
For Each Awo In MyAs
If InStr(MyString, Awo) > 0 Then
Cells(N, 1).Value = mi.Sender.GetExchangeUser().PrimarySmtpAddress
Cells(N, 2).Value = mi.SenderName
Exit For
End If
Next
' Cells(N, 1).Value = mi.Sender.GetExchangeUser().PrimarySmtpAddress
' Cells(N, 2).Value = mi.SenderName
Else
MyAs = Array(mi.SenderEmailAddress)
For Each Awo In MyAs
If InStr(MyString, Awo) > 0 Then
Cells(N, 1).Value = mi.SenderEmailAddress
Cells(N, 2).Value = mi.SenderName
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
End If
Next I
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Fetching all email addresses will be problematic. I don't want to expose any email domains other than the defined ones.
Minimal changes to manipulating the row n and switching the variables in Instr should be sufficient.
This also shows how to drop the array if one domain.

Search multiple strings in a excel workbook

I am trying to design a macro to search for multiple strings in an excel.
I have the following code which searches for the word "techno" in an excel but, I need to include a variable into the code so that I can search for multiple words such "Techno", "electromagnetic", "waves", etc. at once. I am unable to create a loop for this condition.
Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem? The below code works fine but, only a tweak is required to include multiple strings in the search.

Dim xFso As Object
Dim xFld As Object
Dim xStrSearch As String
Dim xStrPath As String

If the strings you are searching will always be the same, hard code them into an array and Loop through the array elements to search each string, like so:
Dim myArray as Variant
Dim myCounter as Long
myArray = Array("techno", "electromagnetic", ...etc.)
For myCounter = 0 To UBound(myArray)
... 'your code here
xStrSearch = myArray(myCounter)
... 'the rest if your code here
Next myCounter

Put results from Find-function (including extra columns for each result) into array vba

This question is based on a tip I got in the forum some other day, but since this completely changed the problem I'm creating a new post (it seemed a much better solution than the one I proposed but I'm having some issues).
The rationale of my code is to search up and find entries based on ID in column A (from criteria input in txtbox); if the row matches the search criteria then I want the data from column A to J for that entry to be stored in a dynamic array. All the matching entries will be stored there. This array will be used to display all the relevant entries in a listbox in a userform.
The code is the following:
Private Sub cmdFind_Click()
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim lastrow As Variant
Dim strSearch As String
Dim aCell As Range
Dim row_number As Integer
Dim item_in_review As Variant
Dim y As Integer
Dim Arr() As Variant
y = lstSearch.ListCount
Set sht = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("a")
lastrow = sht.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
strSearch = txtSearch.Text
Set aCell = sht.Range("A1:A" & lastrow).Find(What:=strSearch, LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
If Not aCell Is Nothing Then
GoTo wfrefvalid
Else
MsgBox "Oops! That Work File does not exist. Please try again.", Title:="Try again"
txtSearch.Value = ""
End If
Exit Sub
wfrefvalid:
row_number = 0
'clears the listbox so that you have dont have a continuously growing list
lstSearch.Clear
Do
DoEvents
row_number = row_number + 1
ReDim Preserve Arr(item_in_review + 1)
item_in_review = sht.Range("A" & row_number)
If item_in_review = txtSearch.Text Then
Arr = item_in_review.Range("A" & row_number & ":J" & row_number)
End If
Loop Until item_in_review = ""
lstSearch.List = Arr
End Sub
The code isn't giving any debugging-errors, however it's also not doing anything when I press the search button. I think the area where I'm struggling is defining the array, and adding each entry to it as the find-function loops through the table (ie the last 12 or so pieces of code).
ANyone have any tips for adding the data from the search (including the extra columns) to the array?
I think the code would to be like this.
Private Sub cmdFind_Click()
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim lastrow As Variant
Dim strSearch As String
Dim aCell As Range
Dim row_number As Integer
Dim item_in_review As Variant
Dim y As Integer
Dim Arr() As Variant
Dim rngDB As Range
Dim strAddress As String, n As Long
y = lstSearch.ListCount
Set sht = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("a")
lastrow = sht.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set rngDB = sht.Range("a1", "a" & lastrrow)
strSearch = txtSearch.Text
With rngDB
Set aCell = .Find(What:=strSearch, LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
If Not aCell Is Nothing Then
strAddress = aCell.Address
Do
n = n + 1
ReDim Preserve Arr(1 To 10, 1 To n)
For i = 1 To 10
Arr(i, n) = aCell(1, i)
Next i
Set aCell = .FindNext(aCell)
Loop While strAddress <> aCell.Address
Else
MsgBox "Oops! That Work File does not exist. Please try again.", Title:="Try again"
txtSearch.Value = ""
End If
End With
If n = 1 Then
lstSearch.List = Arr
ElseIf n > 1 Then
lstSearch.List = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(Arr)
End If
End Sub

Using an array to search active sheet

I have a worksheet which is updated regularly with details of duplicate records from a database.
I am trying to create a macro which searches for particular records however as I am new to Excel VBA I am struggling.
The code I currently have is as follows:
there are more names (21 to be precise but to save time I have removed these)
Dim rg As Range
Dim lnglastrow As Long
Dim intnamemax As Integer
Dim strName() As String
intnamemax = 21
ReDim strName(1 To intnamemax)
strName(1) = "Bob Smith"
strName(2) = "Rhys Jones"
strName(3) = "Rebecca Hickling"
lnglastrow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
For Each rg In Range("A2:A" & lnglastrow)
For i = 1 To intnamemax
Set c = rg.Find(strName(i), LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Proxy Candidate Found at " & found.Address
Else
MsgBox "No Proxy Candidates Found ", vbOKOnly, "Success!"
End If
Next i
Next
End Sub
the Macro will run however when testing I get the msgbox no proxy candidates found despite there being an entry for one of the names.
I am struggling to figure out where I have gone wrong and would appreciate any help.
You need to pull the false return out of the loop, Or you will get at least 20 false even if one matches.
And you do not need the exterior loop as the FIND will look at the whole range as one.
Dim lnglastrow As Long
Dim intnamemax As Integer
Dim strName() As String
Dim fnd As Boolean
intnamemax = 21
ReDim strName(1 To intnamemax)
strName(1) = "Bob Smith"
strName(2) = "Rhys Jones"
strName(3) = "Rebecca Hickling"
lnglastrow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
For i = 1 To intnamemax
Set c = Range("A2:A" & lnglastrow).Find(strName(i), LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Proxy Candidate Found at " & c.Address
fnd = True
Exit For
End If
Next i
If Not fnd Then
MsgBox "No Proxy Candidates Found ", vbOKOnly, "Success!"
End If

move string from array to new sheet

The code below break the cells in image 1 into an array pictured in image 2. The new array is moved to start at AG. After that the program looks through the array and finds the words 'hello' and 'bye'. It takes those words and moves them into a new sheet and column pictured in image 3. Where I'm having trouble is that I want to still pull the strings 'hello' and 'bye' but I want to also pull the string directly before it from the array. In my example (image 3) I would've wanted it to read 'John Hello' instead of 'hello' on its own. What function would I use to extract the string before 'hello' or 'bye' also from the array?
