    Find item, change value in another column

    I want to search for an item which may appear more than once in say column A.

    If it's found, I then need to change the value in column D in the same row.

    Can anyone help me with this please?

    Thanks

    Re: Find item, change value in another column

    I use a macro to automate everything that goes on in my workbook so a VBA example would be the best. I don't want to change anything in column B that doesn't need to be changed and i don't want to add a 3rd column due to pivtos etc that run from my raw data.

    Thanks

    In this case, YES, you need a macro!

    So you are welcome
