    Help needed with VBA code to extract Phrases/ords from text string

    Dear All
    I was wondering whether anyone can help e with wrting a VBA code to do the follwoing:

    I have attached a simple spreadsheet to demonstrate what I need to do if at all possible.

    I the attached file I have list of Departments and comments which were made by customers who visited those departments (Columns A:B)
    In Column J I have added some words or phrases which I need to search for in Col B.

    What I need to do is to write a code to look for the words or phrases in Column J and extracts those words/phrases from Column B. I then need to create a pivot table which will give eme a count of those words for each department. For example the word 'rude' appears twice in Col B for department CCC and word 'pleased' appear twice for Dept AAA and ' very unpleasent' appears once for once DDD and so on. so I wii have a pivot table look slike

    AAA pleased 1
    CCC Rude 2
    DDD Very unpleasent 1

    Over time I will add to the list of words/phrases in Col J.

    In my actual spreadsheet I have created a Pivot report from Pivot table which list the Comments per depart,emt (I have over 20000 rows).

    Is this something that easily can be done as I am very novice with VBA.

    If anyone can help me I will apprecaite it as this will really help me in my current work.

    Thanks in advance

    I assume a few things. Like putting data that is found in columns D and E, Dept and Comments. I did noticed that in Cell B4 the word Pleased is spelled Please so it didn't show up in the count. I use UCASE to make it not care about case. I generated a pivot table for you also....HTH....

    Dear Judgeh59

    Thanks so much for this. This is exactly what I need however I am confused with the data in Col D & E. Can the code just look at the A & B and see if the words in Col J are found. Not sure abut you assumption for D & E. In the actual spreasdsheets the comments and Dept name are submitted by customers and I need to look at key phrases within those comments if this makes sense.

    Thanks again
