Hi - first time caller, long time listener.

In my world, I have a long list of parts. What I want to do, is create a macro, that will when run, ask me what part # are you looking for.
When found, it looks up the part and inserts the necessary # of rows.

What I have is service kits that are made up of part numbers. The service kits are intermixed with a list of part numbers. So each time a service kit is searched and found, xl will add the necessary part numbers that make up that service kit to explode the parts found within the kit. This will give me a true count of the parts ordered and found.

example
Parts Col.
S81001 is made up of 3 part numbers. When the xl finds the S81001 it adds 3 rows below it. If the xl finds a smaller service kits, it adds 2 rows.
thank you in advance
 
Ok, let's say your data in sheet Part is this:


Excel 2013/2016
ABC
1PART_IDMISC_REFERENCEORDER_QTY
2S81001BURNER, RPLMNT LEX485/605/730,LE,LD4854
3S81001BURNER, RPLMNT LEX485/605/730,LE,LD4851
4S81001BURNER, RPLMNT LEX485/605/730,LE,LD4853
5S81004BURNER, IR SIDE ROGUE 365/425/525/6251

No, I mean let's say the data is only as I posted above.
What the result should look like? don't use any explanation in the result, just the result.

Why column MISC_REFERENCE become 'xxx'?
Does it become blank or stay the same?
