    what is your find criteria

    you could use the same formula in a conditional format

    a sample spreadsheet would help

    Normal, the way how will find through Ctrl +F and typing the word and Enter.


    I want the result cell should be highlighted with a color.

    Re: Highlight the searched cell in Find

    Hi,
    Here we need to enter entire text of the cell then only its working
    like Cell Text is "whole world" and we have to enter full text "whole world" in order to get result

    May be because of LookAt: Xlwhole used in code.

    but can we get it even if some part text is matching in the cell , like Cell Text is "Whole World" and we are search for "world"

    yes its working and getting result with all matched cells with VBRed,
    but can it get code with real time find result,
    like let's say I am searching for word "Whole" and we have ended up with 5 cells having this word.

    with above code all 5 cells are getting red, but I want with find next option and the activated matched cell only should show
    colored.
