Need a find function to search one column of one sheet - excel

Question

I need a find function to search in Column B of my worksheet titled "Quote Sheet" to find "Profit Adjustment" and it would be nice if it was case sensitive. Below is the code I am working with but I can't get the range or the wording correct. Any help is appreciated.
Dim rFound As Range
Set rFound = Range("B10:B1000")
Cells.Find(What:="Profit Adjustment", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=True).Activate
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 8).Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False

Answer 1

Sub samPle()
Dim rFound As Range, cellToFind As Range
Set rFound = Sheets("Quote Sheet").Range("B10:B1000")
Set cellToFind = Cells.Find(What:="Profit Adjustment", MatchCase:=True)
If Not cellToFind Is Nothing Then
cellToFind.Activate
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 8).Copy ActiveCell.Offset(0, 8)
End If
End Sub

Answer 2

I would re-write your example like this:
Sub copy_paste_example()
Dim c As Range
With ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Quote Sheet")
Set c = .Columns("B").Find(What:="Profit Adjustment", _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=True)
On Error GoTo NotFoundErr:
c.Offset(0, 8).Value = c.Value
End With
Exit Sub
NotFoundErr:
Debug.Print "value not found"
End Sub
Notes:
You weren't ever using the rfound Range Object so I removed it.
Activate and Select are not needed, and may even slow down your code.
Remember that Find returns a Range Object which can be useful later on in your code.

Answer 3

It wasn't immediately clear to me whether you only want to find the first occurrence of Profit Adjustment, or if you care about all occurrences. If you want to find all rows in Column B that contain Profit Adjustment, the below Macro will work as-is. If you want to find only the first occurrence, then simply uncomment the line that says Exit For.
Here's the code:
Sub FindValueInColumn()
Dim rowCount As Integer, currentRow As Integer, columnToSearch As Integer
Dim searchString As String
Dim quoteSheet As Worksheet
Set quoteSheet = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Quote Sheet")
searchString = "Profit Adjustment" 'string to look for
columnToSearch = 2 '2 represents column B
rowCount = quoteSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, columnToSearch).End(xlUp).Row
For currentRow = 1 To rowCount
If Not Cells(currentRow, columnToSearch).Find(What:=searchString, MatchCase:=True) Is Nothing Then
Cells(currentRow, 8).Value = Cells(currentRow, columnToSearch).Value
'uncomment the below "Exit For" line if you only care about the first occurrence
'Exit For
End If
Next
End Sub
Before search:
After search:
