XL98: FindPrevious Method Does Not Support Nonadjacent Cells (184095)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q184095 SYMPTOMS
When you use the FindPrevious method, the incorrect address is returned if
you use this method with a range of nonadjacent cells.
CAUSE
The algorithm that is used by the FindPrevious method enumerates (counts or
searches) the cell references in a forward direction while the cells
themselves are enumerated in reverse order.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
The FindPrevious method continues a search started with the Find method. It
finds the previous cell that matches the same conditions and returns a
range object that represents that cell. The FindPrevious method does not
affect the current selection or the active cell.
REFERENCES
For more information about the FindPrevious Method, click the Office
Assistant inside the Visual Basic Editor, type FindPrevious, click
Search, and then click to view "FindPrevious Method."
NOTE: If the Assistant is hidden, click the Office Assistant button on the
Standard toolbar. If Microsoft Help is not installed on your computer,
