    Unhappy Searching Columns and Copying the respective Rows

    I am trying to write a macro inside of Sheet 1 that will search Column J for certain terms one of them being "STEP" Once the search finds that term in Column J, I want it to copy the entire row to Sheet 2. The code I have researched and found doesnt seem to be doing it. Here is the code that I have been using:

    Re: Searching Columns and Copying the respective Rows

    Does your code need to go through all the cells in column J?

    Smile Re: Searching Columns and Copying the respective Rows

    Thanks TigerAvatar that fixed my problem! I was wondering also how to get it to print in different rows? What I mean is if I want it all to print starting on row 3 or row 45 how would I do that?

    Erenagh,

    You would change the For z = # to ... in the this line:

    That # is the row that the macro starts on. Just change that to change the starting row.

    Thanks for the response! What I meant was where it printed on the other sheet like sheet 2. So if I wanted any information from sheet 1 to print on sheet 2 row 15 or 20. Depending on what I have going on.

    This part of the code (and same for ws3.Range...):

    That code sets the destination row to the next empty line in the sheet. You could instead create a couple of variables to set the range to whatever you'd like. It would look like the following (destination is set to row 15 in the example, and proceeds from there)

    Re: Searching Columns and Copying the respective Rows

    Everything has been working well but I have noticed when I manually filter inside Sheet 1 I get more results than after I run the macro, more exactely I am getting 10 when manually filtering and only 6 when running the macro. Also I changed some of the code to get all reports to show up on the same screen and it may be because of that. This is the code I was using

    Erenagh,

    The code looks fine to me. I'd have to see a sample workbook experiencing the issue to find out what the problem is. Can you upload one?

    Here is the code that I am running. If you run the macro you can see that if you manually filter there are more results and some results aren't being placed where they should be.

    Re: Searching Columns and Copying the respective Rows

    Erenagh,

    Your data table had cells with wrap text which was causing extraneous characters within the cells (like carriage returns or spaces). I changed the for next loop to the following and verified that it is now returning all the data correctly:
