VBA excel searching columns and rows then insert to that cell

Question

I'm new in VBA excel, now I require to develop a Marco to search through a table and insert the value to that particular cell. I know there is a technique which to loop through all the column and row, but it create more problems to my code. Any other technique can achieve that?

Suppose I have a table:

How can I search for Week 7 and Bread and I want to insert value of 10 in that cell in Marco? Thank you.

Answer 1

Without using a loop you can get the target row and columns by using .Find() to get the row ans column numbers and then Cells (rownumber, columnnumber) to store the data.

The code below should give you a way forward

Sub insert()
Dim myColumn As Range
Dim myRow As Range

Set myColumn = Sheets("Sheet1").Rows("2:2").Find("Week 2")
Set myRow = Sheets("Sheet1").Columns("A:A").Find("Nuts")

Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(myRow.Row, myColumn.Column) = "10"

End Sub
