Searching cells
Hello,
I have a large database of information found down column D that was extracted from a program I use at work. The program jumbled all of the important data into one cell. In these cells contains device names which they are linked to. Example: D10: B40148.9 CV-19 AVB MAN PL RAM 00089 D11: B40147.10 CV-10 RUNNING PL RAM 00074 D12: B40148.5 FA-05 AVB MAN PL RAM 00085 The device names are CV-10, CV-19, and FA-05. These are only a few devices as there are about 30 total. So what I would like to do is go down the list of devices I have and enter a device (Ex. FA-05) and have excel automatically search all the cells down column D and the ones with the (FA-05) text in the cell copy the device name (FA-05) into the corresponding cell in column E. Any help with this is greatly appreciated since I am new to this forum and to macros and VBA. Thank you, -AS |

With the examples you show it may be just as easy to copy column D to
E then use DataText to ColumnsDelimited bySpace. In third step select all columns but the device column and "Skip" those. Just the devices will stay in E.
