    search for multiple words

    Hello everyone!

    I wrote a VBA program to search column A for the word "hello" in a table. As soon as the word is found in the column, the program transfers the row in the column to the right to a new table. This works fine. Now I want to search for several words at once. Unfortunately, this doesn't work ... Can someone look at the VBA code and tell me what I did wrong? Many thanks in advance!

    The Code

    Sub test()
    T = "T1"
    X = "A"
    AX = 1

    Z = "T4"
    Y = 2
    AY = "B"

    Do Until Suche <> ""
    Suche = ("hello"; "my"; "another")

    Loop
    Set A = Worksheets(T)
    Set B = Worksheets(Z)
    Y = Y

    With A.Columns(X)
    Set Gefunden = .Find(Suche, LookIn:=xlValues)
    If Not Gefunden Is Nothing Then
    Erste = Gefunden.Address
    Do 'für alle Fundstellen
    B.Cells(Y, AY).Resize(1, AX) = Gefunden.Offset(0, 1).Resize(1, AX).Value
    Y = Y + 1
    Set Gefunden = .FindNext(Gefunden)
    Loop Until Gefunden.Address = Erste
    End If
    End With
    End Sub

    Re: search for multiple words

    You could declare Suche as variant and load array of search words.

    May be something like below... this is untested.

    Surround your VBA code with CODE tags e.g.;
    [CODE]your VBA code here[/CODE]
    The # button in the forum editor will apply CODE tags around your selected text.
