Hi,
So I'm working with a huge set of pdfs that I'll be importing into excel using power query. That part is very straightforward but the second part is what I've been having trouble with.

I basically need to:
1. Search for 1 keyword in a LIST of keywords (in any column from a single worksheet)
2. When that keyword is found, note every column it appears in (column f, column g...)
3. Apply a filter for one column (F) using that keyword
4. Copy the entire row that they keyword appears in
5. Then paste it into a new worksheet

I imagine this would use a lot of loops!
Step 4 and 5 need to repeat for every column that is found in step 3.
After (step 5) all the columns are searched in, It should go back to the LIST in step 1 and repeat the whole process for the 2nd keyword. And repeat until the entire process is repeated for every keyword.

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
