    moving similar text into another column

    Hey! Here in the attachment that I uploaded is the problem given. The first sheet of the excel document indicates the starting position, so to say, and the second sheet is the result I want to get. So, if an A column contains similar texts in different cells I want that text (in this particular case "woman") moved into different column (not changing the row number) grouping similar text into columns.xlsx

    As for as I know, These code belong (Alphafrog)

    To install the custom function...
    Alt+F11 to open the VBA Editor
    From the VBA menu, select Insert\ Module
    Paste the code below in the VBA Edit window

    what is the VBA Editor? should I install it? I've got Microsoft Visual Basic - same thing?

    Re: moving similar text into another column

    Ok. I added VBA feature from the disc, I hadn't installed it then. But now I got another question, the thing is, I need to indicate THE WORD I'm looking for or the column I want to replace THE WORD from, because that example (about "woman") was just made for clarification. What can I do about it?

    Re: moving similar text into another column

    there is another way, though. suppose all the WORDS I'm looking for is in column H - I want to find the word "own" and place all of them in column G. just like in the attachment for example
