Find a word within a sentence

[RoseChapman]

Hello,

I have a problem using VBA and I would really appreciate if someone could help.

I am using the following code to find the word "house" in any cell within column "L", if the word "house" is found within a sentence in a cell within column L copy whatever is in columns A, L and BX and paste them in another tab called "Paste".
My problem is I do not know how to add "find a sentence containing the word "house"" to the code. Could you please help me?. Many thanks. Rose

Sub Filtering()


Dim Lastrow As Long


With Sheets("Sheet1")

If .Range("L:L").Find("House", , xlValues, xlWhole, , , False) Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "No ""Changed"" rows found. ", , "No Rows Copied": Exit Sub
End If

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Lastrow = .Range("BY" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
.Range("A1:BY" & Lastrow).AutoFilter Field:=76, Criteria1:="House"
Intersect(.AutoFilter.Range, .Range("A:A, L:L, BX:BX")).Copy

Sheets("Paste").Range("A:R").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues, xlPasteSpecialOperationNone, False, False
.AutoFilterMode = False


With Application
.CutCopyMode = False
.Goto Sheets("Outputs").Range("A:BX")
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With

End With
End Sub

A bit confusing, you originally say you want to search column L for the word house, but your code is searching Column 76.

A single line of code will filter column L for the word "House"

    Range("A1").AutoFilter Field:=12, Criteria1:="=*House*", Operator:=xlAnd

Hi Dave,
Thanks for you help. sorry, I tried the code you provided and it does not work.
76 means looking at columns from A to BX. I have used the code you provided with Field=12, but it does not work..
Any other suggestion, please?
Thanks

Yep, you said you wanted to find House in column L, column L is 12, not 76

76 means looking at columns from A to BX.

This

.Range("A1:BY" & Lastrow).AutoFilter Field:=76, Criteria1:="House"

Is filtering on col BX only, not all the columns from A to BX.

Which column do you want to look at?

Ah, ok! I have amended it, but this is still not doing the work. Any suggestion please?. Many thanks

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Lastrow = .Range("BY" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
.Range("A1:BY" & Lastrow).AutoFilter Field:=12, Criteria1:="House"
Intersect(.AutoFilter.Range, .Range("A:A, L:L, BX:BX")).Copy

Sheets("Paste").Range("A:R").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues, xlPasteSpecialOperationNone, False, False
.AutoFilterMode = False


With Application
.CutCopyMode = False
.Goto Sheets("Outputs").Range("A:BX")
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With

I want to find the word "House" in sentences within column L, for example If the sentence"This house is beautiful" is in cell L30, then copy what is in columns A30, L30 and BX30 and paste it in another tab in columns A1, B1, C1. This is what I would like the code to do. Many thanks

Try

.Range("A1:BY" & LastRow).AutoFilter 12, "*House*"

BUT this will also find words such as Houseboat, Housemate etc
