Default Formula/Macro to copy into a cell


I have a spreadsheet that allows me to place a word in one cell and it
searches for that word in several columns. When it finds a match it
highlites the cell with the matched word. What I would like, rather
than highliting the cell, is to have the speadsheet copy the matched
cell into a cell in another column. If there are multiple matches, it
would copy all of them into a cell.

Any idea's?

Hi!

Still at it? <g

The best way to do what you want is by using a VBA macro. I can't help with
that since I'm basically VBA illiterate.

I would suggest you post this in the Programming Forum. I've seen that you
posted this a few times over the past weeks without any replies. If you get
to be "desperate" this "could" be done with formulas (something I'm pretty
good at!) but it won't be EXACTLY as you you have in mind. You can only do
so much with a formula!

I'll check back in a day or two and if you still haven't made any progress
I'll let you know how to contact me and we'll get this done!

Try the Programming Forum first. This shouldn't be too dificult with VBA.
Loop through the columns and extract the matches!

Yeah I'm trying to get this thing the way I want it, unfortunately it's
kind of by trial and error for me to figure out what I want. I really
appreciate the help you have given me.

I will do as you suggest and head over to the other forum. Thanks.
