    Question Searching Columns and Returning Row values

    Hello everyone,

    I am sure this has been explained a million times on here so I do apologize. basically I am trying to write a macro or vba is neccessary that will search through entries of one column and return all the data in that row.

    Ex:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    So basically I would want to create a search field that said "Please enter part number"....The user would enter P-04 and in a designated area " # & % * ( " would show up... Just an easy search and recall. Hope someone can help, thank you very much.

    As well a macro button would be desired to initiate the search, ideally

    Hello jasteinh,

    is there a particular reason you want to do this with code? Since you enter the search term in a cell and want the search results to appear in cells as well, you may as well use a worksheet function, for exampl Vlookup.

    see attached.

    One other question. Say the info was on a different worksheet, is it possible to call and display data from other worksheets with VLOOKUP?
