This may be what you are looking for

Thanks R_Edwards but I need it to be VBA as it is part of a macro.

In excel's "home" tab locate the "Find and Select" all the way to the right of the window then run a search for 'Records'

Make sure the entire column A is selected

Hope this helps.

to find and select you can use:

 With Selection.Find
    .Forward = True
    .Wrap = wdFindStop
    .Text = "Hello"
    .Execute
End With

Select allOpen in new window

Range("A:A").Find("reporting", , xlValues, xlWhole, , , False).Select

Thanks RobZimmerman but I am looking for some VBA code

No selection required and highlights the word(s if more than one).

Sub FindWord()
    Dim lngLastRow As Long
    Dim lngIndex As Long
    
    lngLastRow = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
    
    For lngIndex = 1 To lngLastRow
        If Cells(lngIndex, 1) = "test" Then ' change to suit
            Cells(lngIndex, 1).Select
            With Selection.Interior
                .Pattern = xlSolid
                .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
                .Color = vbYellow
                .TintAndShade = 0
                .PatternTintAndShade = 0
            End With
        End If
    Next
End Sub

Select allOpen in new window

Just to clarify, when the VBA finds the cell I need the macro to 'Select' the cell i.e. I need to end up on that cell

Thanks

Sub FindWord()
    Dim lngLastRow As Long
    Dim lngIndex As Long
   
    lngLastRow = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
   
    For lngIndex = 1 To lngLastRow
        If Cells(lngIndex, 1) = "test" Then ' change to suit
            Cells(lngIndex, 1).Select
            Exit Sub
        End If
    Next
End Sub

You could use this one line:

ActiveSheet.Range("A:A").Find(What:="Reporting", After:=Range("A1"), LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
        LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
        MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate

Select allOpen in new window

or if you want to select ALL cells this may do it...

Sub Macro1()
Dim rng As Range, cell As Range, hid As Range
Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range("A1:A5000")
For Each cell In rng
If UCase((cell.Value)) Like "*REPORTING*" Then
If hid Is Nothing Then
Set hid = cell
Else: Set hid = Union(hid, cell)
End If
End If
Next cell
On Error Resume Next
hid.Select
End Sub

Select allOpen in new window
