I have to find a value celda in an Excel sheet. I was using this vba code to find it:
Set cell = Cells.Find(What:=celda, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:= _
xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:= _
xlNext, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
If cell Is Nothing Then
'do it something
Else
'do it another thing
End If
The problem is when I have to find the value only in a excel column. I find it with next code:
Columns("B:B").Select
Selection.Find(What:="VA22GU1", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
But I don’t know how to adapt it to the first vba code, because I have to use the value nothing.

Just use
Columns("B:B").Select
Set cell = Selection.Find(What:="celda", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
If cell Is Nothing Then
'do it something
Else
'do it another thing
End If
