Seeing if a sentence contains a certain word

[ohaganli]

Hey everyone, so this is my problem: In excell I have 2 sheets. On the second sheet, the G collum lists phone numbers. For example:

[B]G
(519) 555-1234
(416) 534-8273
(519) 348-2846

Im trying to figure out an If statement that says "If a G cell contains
"(519)" move it to cell A1 in sheet1.

Thanks for the help, if you need me to be more clear just let me know

Try this small macro:

Macros are very easy to install and use:

1. ALT-F11 brings up the VBE window
2. ALT-I

ALT-M opens a fresh module

3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.

To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE window as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window

To use the macro from Excel:

1. ALT-F8
2. Select the macro
3. Touch RUN

To learn more about macros in general, see:

Macros must be enabled for this to work!

Sorry one more thing. Which part of your code is telling it to put the numbers in collumn A? Because i want to use the same code to do the exact same thing, except put all the "416" numbers in collumn B
