    Smile Searching fields for data entered in a cell

    Hello - is there a way to use the data entered into a particular cell to search other cells and bring up any that have matching criteria within them? For example if I type Excel in A1 is there any way to return a list of data from column B that has the word Excel anywhere in the field?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    You could use AutoFilter: http://www.contextures.com/xlautofilter01.html

    Or conditional formatting to highlight matching values: http://www.contextures.com/xlCondFormat01.html
