hi i was wondering if anyone can edit my code. the code here only filter if the data only if it begins with what the user input


Example:

Data:

dean winchester
sam winchester
john winchester
mary winchester


Now -
input: winchester
result: no data

want:
input: winchester
result: dean winchester
sam winchester
john winchester
mary winchester


Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Sheets("Database").Range("A:AG").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, _
        CriteriaRange:=Sheets("Background").Range("G2:H3"), CopyToRange:=Range( _
        "A5:AG5"), Unique:=False
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
