    Search entire workbook and display results

    Hi, I am looking for help to achieve the following with an excel workbook:

    - Add a search box/field/prompt where the user can enter a part number, and where that part number is found, display the entire row somewhere separate.
    - The search function should search every sheet in the workbook, and display the results on a separate sheet.

    The workbook consists of a list of part numbers and alternative part numbers, so the reason for this search would be for the user to enter any part number, and for the search result to show all related part numbers (entire row)

    Is this even possible?

    Thanks for any help at all or tips if this sounds like it is impossible?

    Welcome to the forum.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook (yellow banner: HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK). Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.
