    Pretty simple. Here is the macro and the modification you have to do:

    Re: search engine in excel

    I added some columns in your data sheet.

    Then I used the code of p24leclec to fill the data.

    Fill in the search Holder disk and see what's happening.

    See the attached file.

    You have to input your data you want to search in cell B2. Confirm with enter.

    After that you can push the button search.

    Re: search engine in excel

    This one is for a search in column C.

    See the attached file.

    If you fill in main you get the data that are available.

    Re: search engine in excel

    1) Does the second file does what you expected?

    2) I changed the VBA code.

    Re: search engine in excel

    What does tyvm means?

    2) Alt + F11

    Then you get in the VBA editor.

    On the left side you see a window.

    There you find "module1" In this one you find the VBA code.

    It's not easy to tell, without seeing your file.

    Please post your excel file, without confidentional information.
