    Pivot table search- need help!

    I'm currently utilizing a pivot table- And was wondering if I can add a search box to one of the sheets inside the book. So Pivot table is sheet 1, all the information i'm pulling from is in sheet 2. I would like to add a search box to sheet 3 that will pull up the information from sheet 2. Is this possible? Please let me know if I'm confusing you, apologies!

    What do you want to achieve though? You are already pulling through info from Sheet 2 into the pivot on Sheet 1. What can't the pivot do for you? What do you need to search and what do you want it to do after finding the bit you are looking for?

    I agree with Sinon that the pivot can play a part in it's search for you but you could also try running advanced filter into sheet 3 with the extraction of the data from sheet 2 whilst recording a macro would enable you to carry out a search. Assign the advanced filter macro to a shape to allow you use the search again and again.

    Please do correct me if i am on a completely different wave length to you!

    Re: Pivot table search- need help!

    Good Morning,
    I have the following question:
    Taking a table with some data on a sheet and a dynamic table on another sheet, I need a macro that:
    Read each row in the table (first 3 values) and if these three data coincide with one of the rows of the pivot table, read a pivot table data and put it in the other table. If there are not any row that match, the cell is filled with a "No match"
    When finished, there must be a report of the number of cells filled properly and the number of cells filled with "no match" message.
    In short, I need to search within a PivotTable.
    It would be very helpfull for me
    Thank you


    Example:
    PivotTable1 (Sheet1)
    TAG Color Origin Rate Average of Price EUR
    1654 Blue UK 1200 2567
    6872 Blue Canada 250 564
    6471 Red Italy 150 236
    8853 Green Canada 1500 3520
    2146 Blue UK 800 1483

    Table1 (Sheet2)
    TAG Color Origin Rate Price EUR
    XXXX Blue UK 1200 2567
    XXXX Red Canada 250 No match
    XXXX Red Italy 150 236
    XXXX Green Canada 1500 3520
    XXXX Blue UK 250 No match
    XXXX Blue UK 1200 2567
    XXXX Blue UK 850 No match
    XXXX Red Italy 150 236
    XXXX Blue Canada 250 564
    XXXX Red Italy 150 236
    XXXX Green Spain 1500 No match
    XXXX Blue Canada 250 564
    XXXX Blue UK 300 No match
