Maybe AutoFilter meets the need. With the above data, select columnms A:D and use Data Filter AutoFilter Pull-down lists appear in row 1. Using the first pull-down to select a Part id causes only rows with that id to remain showing. Likewise for the other columns. To undo filtering on a column, use the pull-down and choose "All." For details, look up AutoFilter in Excel's built-in Help. |

Adapt to your needs or send file to dguillett1 @gmail.com Option Explicit Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) 'macro by Don Guillett SalesAid Software Dim mf As Range 'String If Target.Address < Range("a2").Address Then Exit Sub If ActiveSheet.FilterMode = True Then ActiveSheet.ShowAllData Set mf = Range("a4").CurrentRegion.Find(What:=Target, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt _ :=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _ False, SearchFormat:=False) If Not mf Is Nothing Then 'MsgBox mf.Row & " " & mf.Column Range("a4").CurrentRegion.AutoFilter Field:=mf.Column, Criteria1:="*" & Target & "*" End If Target.Select End Sub Sub FixIt() Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub |
