Home Matching Multiple Criteria and Returning Multiple Values
 I have two spreadsheets (wb and wbtemp); both have a column for location and a column for feature type. In VBA, I want to find all of the rows on the second sheet where the two columns are the same as the two columns on a row in the first sheet and get a list or a range made up of the row numbers/indices. I then want to use this range to pull out values from a different column and find the highest object in it, but I think I will probably be able to do that if I can get this range sorted. Dim wb As Workbook Dim ws As Worksheet Dim Features() As Variant Dim Activity() As Variant Dim Benthic As Variant Dim wbtemp As Workbook Dim BenSenFeatures() As Variant Dim BenSenActivity() As Variant Dim LR As Long Dim LC As Long Dim r As Long Dim c As Long Dim WhatToFind1 As Variant Dim WhatToFind2 As Variant Dim rngFound1 As Range Dim rngFound2 As Range Dim rng1 As Variant Dim rng2 As Variant Dim rngFound As Range Dim iLoop As Long Dim colFound As Range Set wb = ActiveWorkbook Set ws = wb.ActiveSheet Features = ws.Range("B:C").Value Activity = ws.Rows(1).Value Benthic = InputBox("Filename goes here...") Set wbtemp = Workbooks.Open(Benthic, True, True) With wbtemp BenSenFeatures = .Sheets(1).Range("A:B").Value BenSenActivity = .Sheets(1).Rows(1).Value End With LR = ws.Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row LC = ws.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column For r = 3 To LR If Not IsEmpty(Features(r, 2)) Then If IsInArray(Features(r, 2), BenSenFeatures, 2) Then 'If WorksheetFunction.Match(Features(r, 2), BenSenFeatures(0, 2), 0) Then <---I tried to use the arrays originally WhatToFind1 = Features(r, 1) WhatToFind2 = Features(r, 2) Set rngFound1 = wbtemp.Sheets(1).Columns(1).Cells(wbtemp.Sheets(1).Columns(1).Cells.Count) Set rngFound2 = wbtemp.Sheets(1).Columns(2).Cells(wbtemp.Sheets(1).Columns(2).Cells.Count) For iLoop = 1 To WorksheetFunction.CountIf(wbtemp.Sheets(1).Columns(1), WhatToFind1) Set rngFound1 = wbtemp.Sheets(1).Columns(1).Cells.Find(WhatToFind1, After:=rngFound1) rng1(iLoop) = rngFound1.Row 'WorksheetFunction.Index(wbtemp.Sheets(1).Range("A:B").Value,_ WorksheetFunction.Match(WhatToFind1 & WhatToFind2,_ wbtemp.Sheets(1).Columns(1) & wbtemp.Sheets(1).Columns(2),_ 0), 1) <---originally tried to use match to search for the multiple criteria but couldn't find a way to create a list of indices Set rngFound2 = wbtemp.Sheets(1).Columns(2).Cells.Find(WhatToFind2, After:=rngFound2) rng2(iLoop) = rngFound2.Row Next iLoop For Each cell In rng1 If Not Application.CountIf(rng2, cell.Value) = 0 Then rngFound.Cells(Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp) + 1) = cell.Value End If Next  I originally tried to use .Match to find the multiple criteria, but I couldn't figure out how to create a range of indices from it. Then I tried using .Find to create two list of indices but I can't figure out how to get that to work. I keep getting Type Mismatch errors. I realise this sounds confusing, so let me know if anything needs clarifying.
