Hiya there. I'm designing a shop within MS Excel for some coursework fo
A-Level I.T. So far, I've implemented the main features such a
browsing, adding to basket, invoicing and confirming. All fine. I wan
to implement into it a search engine however. Usin
Index/Match/VLookup, it looks up 1 piece of information in a table fo
example and displays a result. Is there a way to search for one wor
within a table and display all the reults, in a new sheet for example
If I can implement this, I'll be the happiest student in the world!!!!

Thanks for any help!

Josh,

I would set up a function that searched the table
cell by cell, and used the vba INSTR function to find the
results.

Another possibility is to use the Find function to
highlight the cell.

Once a cell is found, and active you can use
selection.entirerow to highlight the row, copy and paste
to your new sheet.
