It would be helpful to post your files with before/after examples. I would
think that instead of using a loop you would use FIND (look in vba help)

Subject: Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Read a menu and produce results
Hi Sam, I apologize for not being clear, i was sure how to pose the
question.
I have two spreadsheets. One with a menu with a bunch of criteria (of
which you can select the criteria you want by placing an "X" in a
designated area ). The second spreadsheet will have data i need to
search through. So based on the selections on the menu page, i want it
to loop through the data on the data page a find the criteria
selections in the data sheet and pick the data in that row and post it
in a new tab/worksheet.
-Matt
I have two pieces of code i've been trying to work with but am unsure
how to connect them. The first one reads a menu and the ranges and
thats it. The second one, will create a new tab with search results.
How can i get the two codes to work together? to read the menu and
produce the results...
1) 'reads the menu
Sub Read_Geographic_Menu()
Sheets("Selections").Select
Range("A1").Select
i_state = 0
g_num_select_states = 0
For icol = 1 To STATES_NUM_COLS
For irow = 1 To STATES_PER_COL
i_state = i_state + 1
g_state_select(i_state) = False
g_state_postal(i_state) = Trim(Range("m6StatePostal" &
icol).Cells(irow))
g_state_name(i_state) = Trim(Range("m6StatesNames" &
icol).Cells(irow))
g_state_id_number(i_state) = i_state
If Range("m6States" & icol).Cells(irow) <> "" Then
g_state_select(i_state) = True
g_num_select_states = g_num_select_states + 1
End If
Next irow
Next icol
End Sub
2) searches for data (in this case "FHCX") and pulls the column data i
need.
Sub ServiceReport()
' Copy the selected range to the Report worksheet
Dim WSD As Worksheet ' Data worksheet
Dim WSR As Worksheet ' Report worksheet
Set WSD = Worksheets("Data")
' Add a new worksheet to this workbook
Set WSR = Worksheets.Add(after:=Worksheets("Data"))
' Rename the new worksheet & set up titles
WSR.Name = "Service"
WSR.Cells(1, 1) = "Service Report"
WSR.Cells(1, 1).Font.Size = 14
WSD.Range("A1:E1").Copy Destination:=WSR.Cells(3, 1)
NextRow = 4
' Loop through all records on WSD
FinalRow = WSD.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To FinalRow
If WSD.Cells(i, 2) = "FHCX" Then
' Copy this record to the next row on WSR
WSD.Cells(i, 1).Resize(1, 5).Copy Destination:=WSR.Cells(NextRow, 1)
NextRow = NextRow + 1
End If
Next i
' Make sure WSR is the active sheet
WSR.Select
' Report that the macro is done
MsgBox Prompt:=NextRow - 4 & " service records copied to the service
report."
End Sub

I believe the forum is not able to comprehend what 'can i get excel to
read
a menu with selections using "X" in a cell' is trying to convey. Maybe you
want to rephrase it, or share an example of what you are trying to do.
