Hi everyone, been looking through other posts and have found similar, just can't seem to quite get it right.
I'm trying to find all cells containing a certain number, then highlighting them.
This code that I found on another post, nearly works but the problem I'm finding is if I enter "1" as the search number, it is finding all cells with 1 and also any number containing 1, such as 12, 13,110 etc.... Can anyone offer a modification to help sort it out?

(I'm a beginner so it may be an obvious answer to most)

Thank you

VBA Code:
Dim fnd As String, FirstFound As String
Dim FoundCell As Range, rng As Range
Dim myRange As Range, LastCell As Range

'What value do you want to find?
  fnd = InputBox("I want to hightlight cells with a value of ...", "Highlight")
  
    'End Macro if Cancel Button is Clicked or no Text is Entered
     If fnd = vbNullString Then Exit Sub

Set myRange = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
Set LastCell = myRange.Cells(myRange.Cells.Count)
Set FoundCell = myRange.Find(what:=fnd, after:=LastCell)

'Test to see if anything was found
  If Not FoundCell Is Nothing Then
    FirstFound = FoundCell.Address
  Else
    GoTo NothingFound
  End If

Set rng = FoundCell

'Loop until cycled through all unique finds
  Do Until FoundCell Is Nothing
    'Find next cell with fnd value
      Set FoundCell = myRange.FindNext(after:=FoundCell)
    
    'Add found cell to rng range variable
      Set rng = Union(rng, FoundCell)
    
    'Test to see if cycled through to first found cell
      If FoundCell.Address = FirstFound Then Exit Do
      
  Loop

'Highlight Found cells yellow
  rng.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 255, 0)

'Report Out Message
  MsgBox rng.Cells.Count & " cell(s) were found with value of : " & fnd

Exit Sub

'Error Handler
NothingFound:
  MsgBox "No cells containing: " & fnd & " were found in this worksheet"
