Is there an excel function that does an EXACT find- not a substring find in cells? For example if I look for the word address in a column-range search, it finds both the cells for vendor_address and address. I only want to find the "address" value. Ideas? Thank you!

If you're talking about the ctrl-f Find, you can choose "find entire cells only". dreamboat@nni.com

Actually I am talking about doing a find in a macro- is there a way to make it "find entire cells" in the macro- example:
Set oColumnDef = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Item("Column Def"
Set oRange = oColumnDef.Range("A:A".Find(sTableName)
Set oColumnDef = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Item("Column Def"
Set oRange = oColumnDef.Range("A:A"
.Find(sTableName)

Syntax of Find method is:
expression.Find(What, After, LookIn, LookAt, SearchOrder, SearchDirection, MatchCase, MatchByte)
You can specify to search for entire cells only by specifying xlwhole for the LookAt property. SuperBry!
