Try:
cells(KeyStartRow,application.WorksheetFunction.Match("yourColumnHeader",Rows(1)\
,0)).select
This looks for the text "yourColumnHeader" in Row 1 of the active sheet.

For a fixed range you could use:
application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(range("J2:J14"),"#N/A")
or
application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(range("j2:J14"),"#DIV/0!")
Explore this in the following macro:
Sub blah()
Dim myRange As Range
myCount = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("J2:J14"), "#N/A")
myCount = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("j2:J14"),
"#DIV/0!")
myCount = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("j2:J14"), 1)
Set myRange = Range("J2:J14")
'or replace line above with commented line below for dynamic range
'Set myRange = Range(Cells(2, 10), Cells(14, 10))
'replace the numbers above with variables for column and row numbers
'using the form Cells(rowNo, columnNo)
myCount = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(myRange, "#N/A")
myCount = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(myRange, "#DIV/0!")
myCount = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(myRange, 1)
End Sub

I'm not clear on this at all. If you want the msgBox to appear while
code is running to tell the user to enter something small use the
InputBox function.
Perhaps a modeless user form?
