    Re: Search Macro

    Xorin, I told you your data was laid out poorly (spread out over multiple sheets, merged cells, ...) and should be arranged in database fashion; you said it's not a database, it's an interface, it has to be that way, and that's not what your real data is like anyway.

    I'm wondering why you're wondering why people aren't jumping in to help.

    Yes, that's a good summary of the thread.

    I thought it might be understood that most of the time data is not submitted in the most efficient way, and that this is how it comes to me. Also that there are not 3 tabs but 300 tabs, and that the end user wants to be able to search for and then go to the desired tab to see only applicable data, not a database of everything that ever came through. I thought that people may understand that the data is sensitive and cannot just be shown publicly online.

    I do not think these assumptions I made are ridiculous. I think they are rather common when it comes to excel use. I also would think that help would be more friendly and less snippy.

    I'm sorry if I was wrong in my thinking. I guess I'll try somewhere else for help. Thanks.
