Create a range based on criteria in two columns

Question

This relates to another question I recently posted, which @Stavros Jon kindly helped me with.

I am trying to create a named range based on criteria in column B and column C. I want to create a range if column B contains the word "OSI" and column C contains the word "Language".

I have tried editing my previous code, but I cannot get the syntax right and get an object error with the counter line.

Sub another()

'Create Ranges:

Dim featuresRng As Range
Dim rng As Range
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim counter As Long
Dim cell As Range
Set sht = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Features")
Set featuresRng = sht.Range(sht.Range("C1"), sht.Range("C" & sht.Rows.Count).End(xlUp)) 'dynamically set the range of features
Set featuresRng2 = sht.Range(sht.Range("B1"), sht.Range("B" & sht.Rows.Count).End(xlUp))

counter = 0 'this counter will help us avoid Union(Nothing, some range), which would give an error

For Each cell In featuresRng 'loop through the range of features
    If featuresRng.cell.Value = "Language" And featuresRng2.cell.Value = "OSI" Then
        counter = counter + 1
        If counter = 1 Then
            Set rng = sht.Range(cell.Offset(0, 1), cell.Offset(0, 3))
        Else
            Set rng = Union(rng, sht.Range(cell.Offset(0, 1), cell.Offset(0, 3))) 'build the range
        End If
    End If
Next cell
Debug.Print rng.Address
ThisWorkbook.Names.Add "OSILAng", rng

End Sub

How can I edit my code to include these two criteria?

Also, sometimes my text in column B will contain words in other cells, like "Filter" and "Filter and Search", I am also looking to make my range from the EXACT text in column C cells, not just 'contains this text.

Thanks in advance!

Try this

Sub another()

Dim featuresRng As Range, NewArr As Variant
Dim rng As Range
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim sRng As String
Dim i As Long

Set sht = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Features")
Set featuresRng = sht.Range(sht.Range("B1"), sht.Range("C" & sht.Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
rngArray = featuresRng
ReDim NewArr(1 To 1)
y = 1
For i = 1 To UBound(rngArray)
    If rngArray(i, 2) = "Language" And rngArray(i, 1) = "OSI" Then
        ReDim Preserve NewArr(1 To y)
        NewArr(y) = featuresRng.Rows(i).Offset(0, 3).Address
        y = y + 1

    End If
Next i

sRng = Join(NewArr, Application.DecimalSeparator)
ThisWorkbook.Names.Add "OSILAng", sht.Range(sRng)

End Sub
