Using The Range Find Method

The Range Find Method allows the user to search for one or more occurrances of a variable within a range. It is useful when you want to search for items in all the rows and columns of a range. The example below locates multiple occurrances of a particular cell value and copies that cell value plus the next three cells to the right in the same row to a separate sheet.
