Hi all,

Really need some support in figuring out how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately I'm having issues with XL2BB, but in the meantime my excel workbook can be found on this google drive link: Excel - Google Drive

Mapping Filter WorkBook


Context:
In the raw data tab there are Names matched against Fruits which people enjoy. Y is for yes. N is for No.
The Keyword Tab is shortlisted words from the Raw Data Tab - this is static and manually inputted.
Matrix tab - based on the ask below, the mapping is to be plotted here.

The ask:
For each fruit in the Keyword tab, I would like for the VBA code to scan this list cell by cell and match it to any names where it is marked Y in the Raw Data tab; then plot this in the Matrix tab.

Notes:
A - In the keywords tab, they words will always be in Column B, however rows are not fixed; in the example there are 7 words in Column B but sometimes this could be 3 or even 10 or 100 - it depends if the columns in raw data tab increase too; if a fixed range needs to be provided then 500 rows would be a safe bet to fix it at.
B - In the Matrix tab, it should only contain the Names which are impacted by any of the key words (ie not all the names or fruits from Raw Data tab should be included)
C - not looking to resolve this by a Vlookup/Index Match - has to be done by VBA code I'm afraid

Any help in figuring out how this should be would be greatly appreciated (I got stuck trying to create the loop etc).

In the link contains my code but I think I have lost myself - basically i was trying to match the keywords and then do a filter somehow.. nevermind, will hopefully get better with more practice.. probably worth ignoring...
