If and DoUntil VBA code wont display output - vba

Question

Cant seem to figure out why my code is not showing output. New VBA programmer only know basics so any help would be helpful.
What I want is for Excel to start checking a specific column for a specific text1 and then start copying and pasting those values till it reaches text2. After that I want it to check the next fifth column in the same manner.
If you could suggest modifications to my code.
Without putting in a for loop for the column my code looks like this.
Private Sub CommandButton7_Click()
Dim x As Long, y As Long
Dim a As Long
y = 1 'starts with the first column
x = 1 'first row
a = 70 'this is the row where i want the data to be posted
If Cells(x, y).Value = "text1" Then 'check first for specific text
Do Until Cells(x, y).Value = "text2" 'stop here
Cells(a, y).Value = Cells(x, y).Value 'copy that data to new row
Cells(a, y + 1).Value = Cells(x, y + 1).Value 'and the column adjacent to it
x = x + 1
a = a + 1
Loop
Else
x = x + 1 'if not on that row then check the next row
End If
End Sub

Really hard to see what is going wrong here as your code should be doing what you want.
The only other thing that could throw your results is when you have different case ,as VBA will treat a string with an upper case character as being different, so you may not actually be entering the loop at all. And I am assuming that text1 is just a sample string for the question.
So comparing the string in lower case will ensure that if you have any upper case characters they will be compared correctly, using the LCase function should help with that.
Full code,
Private Sub CommandButton7_Click()
Dim x As Long, y As Long
Dim a As Long
y = 1 'starts with the first column
x = 1 'first row
a = 70 'this is the row where i want the data to be posted
If LCase(Cells(x, y).Value) = LCase("text1") Then 'check first for specific text
Do Until LCase(Cells(x, y).Value) = LCase("text2") 'stop here
Cells(a, y).Value = Cells(x, y).Value 'copy that data to new row
Cells(a, y + 1).Value = Cells(x, y + 1).Value 'and the column adjacent to it
x = x + 1
a = a + 1
Loop
Else: x = x + 1 'if not on that row then check the next row
End If
End Sub

Kind of hard to see the big picture but I think I produced the result you want with:
Sub FindText()
Dim textFound As Range
Dim x As Long, y As Long
Dim a As Long
y = 1 'starts with the first column
x = 0 'first row
a = 70 'this is the row where i want the data to be posted
Set textFound = ActiveSheet.Columns(y).Cells.Find("Text1")
Do Until textFound.Offset(x, 0).Value = "Text2"
Cells(a + x, y).Value = textFound.Offset(x, 0).Value
Cells(a + x, y + 1).Value = textFound.Offset(x, 1).Value
x = x + 1
Loop
End Sub
This code is far from perfect but should work in most circumstances.
