    searching for letter a in a table of numbers and output all cols related to that letter a

    Hi all gurus,
    I'm thinking Vlookup may help but wanted to check with you.

    I want to search for letter a in a big table (as a indicates available) and then output the row and all cols for that a?

    your support would be gratefully apprec,
    Thank you

    Post a file showing expected output so we can clearly understand what is required.

    Re: searching for letter a in a table of numbers and output all cols related to that lette

    I want to search for letter a in a big table
    Just 1 letter in a cell? Or are there words/string in the cell and you need to find a specific letter inside there?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    Can you upload a small (clean) sample workbook (not a pic) of what you are working with, and what your expected outcome would look like.

    I have a 20kb file download size limit.

    Your files are way too big for me.

    Selection is any column (from L onwards) in a row containing an "a" (for available)
