Kris,

Sorry, you are quite right.  I made the mistake of copying the previous
code and replacing the prvious code with the previous codes.

thank you so much for your patience.

This works just as well as the other code but still has the problem,  If
range (L6:L27) has the letters AA in it then it shows A as a match and says
report A is already done

The code you supply works perfectly except for one issue.
I am checking a column to see if I have run a report before and therefore
the check for the match.  The problem is I have one report marked AA and
another marked A.   If I have run the report AA before then when I run the
report A, the code is indicating that the report has already been run.   It
seems to be seeing the AA as a match
