intersect method seems not working here
Question
I am writing a snippet to exclude duplicated cells. So if there is a cell in column 4 that starts with 0-9 (all in text format) and does not appear in column 8, I would like to add the cell value to a string variable. But it seems the intersect method always return Nothing here...any idea?
Sub getAddNum()
addnum = ""
Set rng1 = Columns(4).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
Set rng2 = Columns(8).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
For Each currentcell In rng1
cellValue = CStr(currentcell.Value)
If InStr("0123456789", CStr(Left(cellValue, 1))) And Intersect(currentcell, rng2) Is Nothing Then
addnum = addnum & CStr(currentcell.Value) & ", "
End If
Next
Range("I9").Value = addnum
End Sub
Solution
As I've commented, re-write your code like this:
Sub getAddNum()
Dim addnum As String, cellValue As String
Dim rng1 As Range, rng2 As Range, currentcell As Range
addnum = ""
Set rng1 = Columns(4).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
Set rng2 = Columns(8).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
For Each currentcell In rng1
cellValue = CStr(currentcell.Value)
If Left(cellValue, 1) Like "[0-9]" And IsError(Application.Match(cellvalue,rng2,0)) Then
addnum = addnum & CStr(currentcell.Value) & ", "
End If
Next
Range("I9").Value = addnum
End Sub
Not Tested, but I think you can get the logic.
Hope this somehow helps.
