If field has an X, copy cell to another sheet - excel

Question

I have an Excel tracker that I put an "X" in a cell every month if a certain activity is accomplished.
This "X" correlates to a range of cells on the same sheet.
I want when I click on a command box;
If the cell for January has an "X" copy specific cells on the current page to specific cells on another work sheet.
If the cell for February has an "X" copy some other specific cells on the current page to some other specific cells on the other worksheet.
So on and so forth through December.
I have the following code (which does not work):
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Sheets("MRT").Select
If InStr(1, (Range("L8").Value), "X") > 0 Then
Range("E42:AA42").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Test '12").Select
Cells(3, AP).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone
End If
End Sub

Answer 1

Try this:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
If Sheets("MRT").Range("L8").Value like "*X*" Then
Sheets("MRT").Range("E42:AA42").Copy
Sheets("Test '12").Cells(3, 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone
End If
End Sub
Worked in my test, however you might want to adapt Cells(3,1) and the other position specifiers to your desired targets.
edit: forgot about the part with the months ... wait a minute ... here:
Sub FindSignificant()
Dim SearchString As String
Dim SearchRange As Range, cl As Range
Dim FirstFound As String
Dim sh As Worksheet
' Set Search value
SearchString = "a"
Application.FindFormat.Clear
' loop through all sheets
Set sh = Sheets("MRT")
' Find first instance on sheet
Set cl = sh.Cells.Find(What:=SearchString, _
After:=sh.Cells(1, 1), _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, _
SearchFormat:=False)
If Not cl Is Nothing Then
' if found, remember location
FirstFound = cl.Address
' format found cell
Do
Select Case sh.Cells(cl.Row, 1).Value
Case "december"
sh.Range("E42:AA42").Copy
Sheets("Test '12").Cells(3, 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone
Case "february"
sh.Range("E42:AA42").Copy
Sheets("Test '12").Cells(3, 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone
Case Else
'do nothing
End Select
' find next instance
Set cl = sh.Cells.FindNext(After:=cl)
' repeat until back where we started
Loop Until FirstFound = cl.Address
End If
End Sub
this code origins from here
You would have to adapt the select case, but i really would think about solving this without VBA, if it is not necessary ;)
