VBA conditional search and marking












0















The aim is to search in column A for the word "XXX". When the word is found in that column, the next cell should match the word "C".If it doesn't, carry on with the search for "XXX" in the next row, etc. The issue in my code is that it marks all "C"s. In other words, there is no conditional search where XXX=C.



enter image description here



For Each cell In ws.Range("A1:A20").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
Select Case cell.Value2
Case "XXX"
col = RGB(202, 225, 255)
Case Else
col = 0
End Select


If col > 0 Then
wb.Activate
cell.Interior.Color = col
For Each cell2 In cell.Offset(, 2).Resize(1).SpecialCells (xlCellTypeConstants)
res = Switch(cell2.Value = "C", vbGreen)
If Not IsNull(res) Then Intersect(Range("B:B, J:J, L:L, N:N, Q:Q"), Rows(cell2.Row)).Interior.Color = CLng(res) '
Next
End If
Next

          Slightly unsure what you're asking but I think solution is below.
          I have used much simpler code but it should be adequate.



          For xJ = 1 to 200
          If Range("A" & xJ).Value = "XXX" then
          Range("A" & xJ).Interior.Color = RGB(202, 225, 255)
          If Range("B" & xJ).Value = "C" Then
          Range("B" & xJ).Interior.Color = RGB(57, 225, 20)
          End If
          End if
          Next xJ
