    Search for specific cell based off Row/Column and input data into that cell

    Attached is the workbook
    • In the left text box, I'd like for my user to be able to input a number that's already in Column A
      • If the number does not exist, an error box to pop up
    • In the middle combo box, it's a list of all the columns available
    • In the right text box, I'd like this text to be entered into whatever cell that the first 2 pieces of information intersect at.

    I've already built the user form that allows my users to implement data into the worksheet, but I would like this information to be a way for them to easily change out information without having to search through the entire database manually.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!Sample Workbook - Search Field XY Value.xlsm

    Re: Search for specific cell based off Row/Column and input data into that cell

    I've been playing with the code and I'm completely lost. When I input information into all 3 boxes (horizontally), the text in the 3rd box disappears and nothing is inputted into the spreadsheet.

    Can anybody help explain as to why?

    Thanks!

    I'm a bit confused....in the OP you stated you want to enter data into the first 2 fields and then have the intersect displayed in the 3rd field....

    Is this still true?....

    EDIT: okay, I get it now....I'll fix it....

    That worked exactly how I wanted it to!


    ...in your workbook, but it's not working when I transfer the code into my workbook and attempt to do the same. I've attached my workbook for review.

    Thank you so much in advance.

    your real data is a little different than the test data, but this should get to closer....

    problem one: row number had a correlation in the test data and don't in the real data....I believe that's fixed...
    problem two: column headers don't match data validation list...I have fixed the code to find the data validation column name...so some won't work until you set it up so the names match...

    does that make sense?...
