Excel Search Box

[Bill4tektips]

Does anyone know if it is possible to create a Search Box in Excel that will return the rows where a searchterm has been found and is capable of finding text within a string?
The Search I am using at the moment just works if the complete cell content has been submitted.
The code I am using at the moment is:
Sub myFind()
'Standard module code, like: Module1.
'Find my data and list found rows in report!
Dim rngData As Object
Dim strDataShtNm$, strReportShtNm$, strMySearch$, strMyCell$
Dim lngLstDatCol&, lngLstDatRow&, lngReportLstRow&, lngMyFoundCnt&

On Error GoTo myEnd
'*******************************************************************************
strDataShtNm = "BMS Historical Index" 'This is the name of the sheet that has the data!
strReportShtNm = "Search" 'This is the name of the report to sheet!
'*******************************************************************************
Sheets(strReportShtNm).Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'Define data sheet's data range!
Sheets(strDataShtNm).Select

With ActiveSheet.UsedRange
lngLstDatRow = .Rows.Count + .Row - 1
lngLstDatCol = .Columns.Count + .Column - 1
End With

Set rngData = ActiveSheet.Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(lngLstDatRow, lngLstDatCol))

'Get the string to search for!
strMySearch = InputBox("Enter what to search for, below:" & vbLf & vbLf & _
"Note: The search is case sensitive!", _
Space(3) & "Find All", _
"")

'Do the search!
For Each Cell In rngData
strMyCell = Cell.Value

'If found then list entire row!
If strMyCell = strMySearch Then
lngMyFoundCnt = lngMyFoundCnt + 1
ActiveSheet.Rows(Cell.Row & ":" & Cell.Row).Copy

With Sheets(strReportShtNm)
'Paste found data's row!
lngReportLstRow = .UsedRange.Rows.Count + .UsedRange.Row
ActiveSheet.Paste Destination:=.Range("A" & lngReportLstRow).EntireRow
End With
End If
Next Cell

myEnd:
'Do clean-up!
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Sheets(strReportShtNm).Select

'If not found then notify!
If lngMyFoundCnt = 0 Then
MsgBox """" & strMySearch & """" & Space(3) & "Was not found!", _
vbCritical + vbOKOnly, _
Space(3) & "Not Found!"
End If
End Sub

hi,

" return the rows where a searchterm has been found"

dim rFound as range, strMySearch as string

strMySearch = InputBox("Enter what to search for, below:" & vbLf & vbLf & _
"Note: The search is case sensitive!", _
Space(3) & "Find All", _
"")

set rFound = cells.find(target:=strMySearch,wholeword:=FALSE)

do while not rFound is nothing 
   debug.print rFound.row
   set rFound = cells.findnext(rFound)
loop
end if

When I put this coding in I am getting an error message saying: "Compile Error, Duplicate declaration in current scope". Any ideas

 

[SkipVought]

That error message is rather self explanatory. You have a variable declared nore than once in a procedure or in a module.

Didn't the compliler HIGHLIGHT a variable?
