    Selecting cells with a certain word and creating a new column

    Hi,

    I have lots of rows of data +25,000.

    I would like to select cells that contain the word "Video" (could be "videoconference", "Catch_Up_Video_Conf", "video conference" etc) and place them in a new worksheet column. The cells also contain the date, time and sometimes more information.

    I want a column similar to the results of the "Find & Replace" when I type in "Video" and press "Find All".

    I have added an example that includes 200 rows and 3 cells that have within them the word "video".

    If you could add a small explanation that would be great.

    Cheers,

    Dan

    hi Dan, 1 way is:
    1. press CTRL + F to find
    2. type in:
    video
    3. click "Find All"
    4. press CTRL + A to select all
    5. press ESC to exit window
    6. copy & paste to wherever you need
