Hello All,
I am trying to create a Macro that will find specific words, then cut the row that the word(s) are found in & paste all that apply in a new sheet.
I searched the forum and found some codes, but none worked for me for what I wanted.
I know a little about how to do this but cannot manage to get it. I am good at more simplistic Macros. This one is tough for me.
In the image below I am trying to cut rows that contain the words in column J and paste in different sheets.

Is there someone who could get me something close?

Excel Facts

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
in this code:
the sheet with the data is SHEET1
the sheet with the words to find is in: WORDS2FIND
(change to match yours)

then run FINDWORDS


Code:
Private mcolWords As New Collection
Private wsTarg As Worksheet, wsSrc As Worksheet
Private vWord

Sub FindWords()
On Error Resume Next
Sheets.Add
Set wsTarg = ActiveSheet
wsTarg.Name = "results"
'load the words list
Set mcolWords = New Collection
Sheets("words2Find").Activate
Range("A1").Select
While ActiveCell.Value <> ""
   vWord = ActiveCell.Value
   mcolWords.Add vWord, vWord
 
   ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select  'next row
Wend

 'scan data sheet for the words. do it backwards to prevent row errors
Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
Set wsSrc = ActiveSheet
Range("A1").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
While ActiveCell.Row > 1
   Find1Word
   ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Select  'prev row
Wend
Set wsSrc = Nothing
Set wsTarg = Nothing
End Sub


private Function Find1Word()
Dim bFound As Boolean
Dim r, i
On Error GoTo ErrFind
bFound = False
r = ActiveCell.Row

Rows(r & ":" & r).Select
i = 1
While i <= mcolWords.Count And Not bFound
    vWord = mcolWords(i)
    Selection.Find(What:=vWord, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
            LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
            MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
 
    bFound = True
    'MsgBox "found"
 
    'copy row to other sheet
    Rows(r & ":" & r).Select
    Selection.Cut
    wsTarg.Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select  'next row
      'back to source
    wsSrc.Select
    Rows(r & ":" & r).Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
tryNextWord:
    i = i + 1
Wend
Exit Function
ErrFind:
If Err = 91 Then
  GoTo tryNextWord
Else
  MsgBox Err.Description, , Err
End If
End Function

Thanks.
I will give it a try this afternoon and update on how it worked for me.
I really appreciate it.

I created the sheets (Tabs) and named them accordingly. I only got 1 result and 1 line of that.

What I am trying to do is find the words in the worklist and cut the rows and paste on individual worksheets (perhaps pre-named to the find words).
So, the code would search for rows with "Chem Film" in column J, cut entire row(s) from "WORLIST", and paste in a Worksheet named "Chem Film".
Is this an impossible task?
