<br />
It would be preferd if the string could be enterd in an inputbox.<br />
CatagoryID is always the in same column.<br />
<br />
you can see the file @ <a href="http://www.dbits.be/list.xlsx" rel="ugc">http://www.dbits.be/list.xlsx</a><br />
<br />
@gowflow <br />
<br />
Thats the ting i need, but then to let it copy the full rows that you can find in the url above
</div>


<div>
Maybe something along these lines:
<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-20-35769034-1"><span>Sub x()</span>
<span>  </span>
<span>Dim rFind As Range, sFind As String, sAddr As String</span>
<span> </span>
<span>sFind = Application.InputBox(&quot;Search string?&quot;, Type:=2)</span>
<span></span>
<span>With Sheets(&quot;Price_Generic&quot;).Columns(7)</span>
<span>    Set rFind = .Find(What:=sFind, LookAt:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)</span>
<span>    If Not rFind Is Nothing Then</span>
<span>        sAddr = rFind.Address</span>
<span>        Sheets.Add(after:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)).Name = &quot;Results&quot;</span>
<span>        Do</span>
<span>            rFind.EntireRow.Copy Sheets(&quot;Results&quot;).Range(&quot;A&quot; &amp; Rows.Count).End(xlUp)(2)</span>
<span>            Set rFind = .FindNext(rFind)</span>
<span>        Loop While rFind.Address &lt;&gt; sAddr</span>
<span>    End If</span>
<span>End With</span>
<span>     </span>
<span>End Sub</span>
</code></pre>

Thanks for not bothering to even acknowledge my solution.
</div>


<div>
You are right.....i blame time.<br />
Just tried your solution and it works just fine.<br />
Any way to regrade a closed question ?
</div>


<div>
You need to post a REQUEST ATTENTION at the top of this question and explain why you need to re-open the question. Once moderatorre-opens it again, you can then re-assign ponts as you feel appropriate. For next time you should carefully check all answers and attribute points fairly.<br />
<br />
I do not mind personally to have this question re-opened and you attribute points as you feel is fair.<br />

I get XSLX files from a distributer with over 30.000 rows<br />
In this file there is a column called CatagoryID.<br />
I want to be able to enter a string somewhere containing my desired catagoryID<br />
That will copy all rows with correct catagoryID &nbsp;to sheet2<br />
Giving me a filterd sheet with my search results.<br />
How can i achieve this ?<br />

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
