Hi, I am a new macro user
I have a folder, which consists of lots of excels. Now I need to create a new excel with a macro that can,
(After running the macro)
1. have a text box to ask me to type in what keyword I want to search for.
2. search through all the Sheet1 in all my excels in that folder for that certain keyword.
3. copy the whole cell sentences if found the keyword and paste to my current worksheet in my newly created workbook rows by rows.
4. even if some cells are exactly same, copy all the repeated cells.
(so it will look like in my new worksheet, sentences with the keyword listed from A1 onwards)

5. next, i want columns B1 onwards in my worksheet, to list dates of each sentences created.
(For example, I have 5 excels in my folder, each with a cell containing a same keyword, each excel was created on certain different dates. I want copied sentence from first excel has the first excel's created date, etc)
6. so it will look like in my new worksheet in my newly created workbook, keyword related sentences are listed from A1 onwards, and each respective excel created date is listed correspondingly from B1 onwards.

7. after completed, there is a message box showing "completed". If the keyword can't be found in all my excels, there will be a message box showing "information could not be found"

Thanks for anyone's help!!!!
