Filtering DataGridView not returning expected values

Hi Guys,

I seem to have gotten myself into a filtering conundrum.

I have two DataGridView tables that are not bound to anything in a Visual Basic 2026 app that I am playing with.

DataGridView1 is located on form1 and is an 18 row by 15 column table
DataGridView2 is on form DB and is a 216 row by 27 column table

DataGridView1 Column 9 has unique strings and is the what I need to use to search DataGridView2
The filter is date dependent

DataGridView2 Column 3 and Column 10 have the 18 unique strings randomly populated throughout the two columns.
The rows do not have duplicated strings
DataGridView2 Column 6 has dates that span the entire year.
GV.CurrentDate is just the system date.now value

I have been trying to search DataGridView2 for the first instance of a date in column 6 that is greater than today
and then check to see if column 18 is empty.
Then I need to look ahead row by row for 22 rows and do the following on the first match it finds for each of the 18 rows in DataGridView1
If Column 18 is empty then if DataGridView1 column 9 = DataGridView2 column3 or DataGridView2 column10 assign DataGridView2 column 10 value to DataGridView1 column 15 else assign DataGridView2 column 3 to DataGridView1 column 15
If column 18 is not empty and DataGridView1 column 9 = either DataGridView2 column 3 or column 10 then get the value from DataGridView2 column 26 or column 27 respectively and assign it to DataGridView1 column 15

This needs to be done for all 18 rows in DataGridView1

All the columns do have headers but I haven't been able to figure out how to use them(like Excel)

Here is the code that I have been fumbling with for a couple of weeks now.

Code:

---


    Public Sub FindNext()
        Dim rowsahead As Integer
        Form1.DataGridView1.ReadOnly = False
        For datarows = 0 To 199
            If DB.DataGridView1.Rows(datarows).Cells(6).Value > GV.CurrentDate Then
                For list = 0 To 17
                    For rowsahead = 1 To 22
                        If DB.DataGridView1.Rows(datarows).Cells(18).Value > Nothing Then
                            If Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(list).Cells(9).Value = DB.DataGridView1.Rows(datarows + rowsahead).Cells(10).Value OrElse Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(list).Cells(9).Value = DB.DataGridView1.Rows(datarows + rowsahead).Cells(3).Value Then
                                If Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(list).Cells(9).Value = DB.DataGridView1.Rows(datarows + rowsahead).Cells(10).Value Then
                                    Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(list).Cells(15).Value = DB.DataGridView1.Rows(datarows + rowsahead).Cells(27).Value
                                Else
                                    Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(list).Cells(15).Value = DB.DataGridView1.Rows(datarows + rowsahead).Cells(26).Value
                                End If
                                Exit For
                            Else
                            End If
                        Else
                            If Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(list).Cells(9).Value = DB.DataGridView1.Rows(datarows).Cells(3).Value Then Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(list).Cells(15).Value = DB.DataGridView1.Rows(datarows).Cells(10).Value
                            If Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(list).Cells(9).Value = DB.DataGridView1.Rows(datarows).Cells(10).Value Then Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(list).Cells(15).Value = DB.DataGridView1.Rows(datarows).Cells(3).Value
                            Exit For
                        End If
                    Next
                Next
            End If
            If DB.DataGridView1.Rows(datarows).Cells(6).Value > GV.CurrentDate Then Exit For
        Next

    End Sub

I am hoping that someone will be able to point out the errors in my ways so that I can get this to work.

Many Thanks

In your explanation you talk about a control named DataGridView2, but your code only references DataGridView1 everywhere.

Sorry about that.

Here is the code without my typos

Code:

---


    Public Sub FindNext()
        Dim rowsahead As Integer
        Form1.DataGridView1.ReadOnly = False
        For datarows = 0 To 199
            If DB.DataGridView2.Rows(datarows).Cells(6).Value > GV.CurrentDate Then
                For list = 0 To 17
                    For rowsahead = 1 To 22
                        If DB.DataGridView2.Rows(datarows).Cells(18).Value > Nothing Then
                            If Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(list).Cells(9).Value = DB.DataGridView2.Rows(datarows + rowsahead).Cells(10).Value OrElse Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(list).Cells(9).Value = DB.DataGridView2.Rows(datarows + rowsahead).Cells(3).Value Then
                                If Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(list).Cells(9).Value = DB.DataGridView2.Rows(datarows + rowsahead).Cells(10).Value Then
                                    Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(list).Cells(15).Value = DB.DataGridView2.Rows(datarows + rowsahead).Cells(27).Value
                                Else
                                    Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(list).Cells(15).Value = DB.DataGridView2.Rows(datarows + rowsahead).Cells(26).Value
                                End If
                                Exit For
                            Else
                            End If
                        Else
                            If Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(list).Cells(9).Value = DB.DataGridView2.Rows(datarows).Cells(3).Value Then Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(list).Cells(15).Value = DB.DataGridView2.Rows(datarows).Cells(10).Value
                            If Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(list).Cells(9).Value = DB.DataGridView2.Rows(datarows).Cells(10).Value Then Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(list).Cells(15).Value = DB.DataGridView2.Rows(datarows).Cells(3).Value
                            Exit For
                        End If
                    Next
                Next
            End If
            If DB.DataGridView2.Rows(datarows).Cells(6).Value > GV.CurrentDate Then Exit For
        Next

    End Sub
