Copy row if a range of column matches a value Solved/Closed

Question

Could you please help me with the following macro.

The following macro basically copies the entire row if the column B contains the value "1". But in my case, I would like to copy the entire row if a range of column (for ex: B via Z) contains the value "1". It would even be better, if the user could input a number/string and then if the column range from B via Z contains that specific string/number - it will automatically copy the entire row that contains that value in a new worksheet/xls file.

Hope to hear from you.

Thanks!
N.

Hi,
the first code I wrote was looking for cells having the exact same value as the entered string.
here's an update that looks for cells containing the string:
Sub customcopy()
Dim strsearch As String, lastline As Integer, tocopy As Integer

strsearch = CStr(InputBox("enter the string to search for"))
lastline = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
j = 1

For I = 1 To lastline
    For Each c In Range("B" & I & ":Z" & i)
        If InStr(c.Text, strsearch) Then
            tocopy = 1
        End If
    Next c
    If tocopy = 1 Then
        Rows(i).Copy Destination:=Sheets(2).Rows(j)
        j = j + 1
    End If
tocopy = 0
Next i

End Sub

Hi NoraRoberts,
try this :
Sub customcopy()
Dim strsearch As String, lastline As Integer, tocopy As Integer

strsearch = CStr(InputBox("enter the string to search for"))
lastline = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
j = 1

For I = 1 To lastline
    For Each c In Range("B" & I & ":Z" & i)
        If c.Text = strsearch Then
            tocopy = 1
        End If
    Next c
    If tocopy = 1 Then
        Rows(i).Copy Destination:=Sheets(2).Rows(j)
        j = j + 1
    End If
tocopy = 0
Next i

End Sub
let me know if it works as you want....

I was wondering if you could help me as well as it appears you have greatly assisted the previous individual.  I am trying to copy an entire row from worksheet named "Gallagher" to another worksheet named "CURRENT" if column D (from Gallagher) contains the text "No".  I have multiple worksheets within the workbook that I would like to link to the "CURRENT" worksheet if the column D contains the next "No" so ultimately would like the code to be able to recognize the last unused row/cell in "CURRENT" so when it pastes rows from the other worksheets, it will know where to begin pasting.  

Thanks so much in advance!

Hello,

I also had a similar question that I am having issues with. I have a tab named "Data" and 2 other tabs named Bill and Jim. Column A in the Data tab contains Names of employees (Jim and Bill) and all employees have a corresponding tab. What I am trying to do is match the names in column A of the "data" tab with the corresponding sheets that have the same names and then paste the names into their respective sheets in column A. Everytime I populate I am trying to get it to paste in the next empty row. In the "data" tab there might be 5 entries for Jim and 3 for Bill and I am trying to get the 5 Jim entries to paste in the Jim tab and the 3 Bill entries to paste in the Bill tab. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as I have been struggling with it for the past few hours.

Thanks so much for your help in advance.

Hi,

Instead of finding a value by the user input in InputBox, I have words already listed that I want to find and copy.

Sheet 1: I would want the result be pasted here
                 ProductID, Price, ReferenceID, other columns

Sheet2: I have List of ProductID and Price. The list of ProductID are the ones that may or may not be listed in Sheet3. I want to search the ProductsID in this sheet that matches ProductID in Sheet3.

Sheet3: I have List of ProductID and corresponding ReferenceID and other columns in which I want to copy all row for matching ProductID.

Thank you for your help!!!

I want to pull the entire row if the value in column O in each sheet contains the word "Yes"

and I want it all on one "summary" page

is this possible thru this?  Sorry for thread crapping if you'd like I can open a new thread.
