Hi,

I found the code below the problem is can only find if type the SAGEID but want to be able to search for other fields listed in the code if possible to search wildcard the SearchForm have five textboxes to search for for example if just want to find JS Analyst when type for that list all of them (attaching picture of the form).

here is the code:

VBA Code: 
Private Sub SearchBtn_Click()

    Dim SearchTerm As String
    Dim SearchColumn As String
    Dim RecordRange As Range
    Dim FirstAddress As String
    Dim FirstCell As Range
    Dim RowCount As Integer
    
    ' Display an error if no search term is entered
    If SAGEID.Value = "" And VENDOR.Value = "" And GL_ACCOUNT.Value = "" And OrgUnit.Value = "" And Analyst.Value = "" Then
    
        MsgBox "No search term specified", vbCritical + vbOKOnly
        Exit Sub
    
    End If
    
    ' Work out what is being searched for
    If SAGEID.Value <> "" Then
    
        SearchTerm = SAGEID.Value
        SearchColumn = "SAGEID"
        
    End If
    
    If VENDOR.Value <> "" Then
    
        SearchTerm = VENDOR.Value
        SearchColumn = "VENDOR"
        
    End If

    If OrgUnit.Value <> "" Then
    
        SearchTerm = GL_ACCOUNT.Value
        SearchColumn = "G/L ACCOUNT"
        
    End If

    If OrgUnit.Value <> "" Then
    
        SearchTerm = OrgUnit.Value
        SearchColumn = "ORG UNIT"
        
        If Analyst.Value <> "" Then
    
        SearchTerm = Analyst.Value
        SearchColumn = "Analyst"
        
    End If
    
    End If
    Results.Clear
    
        ' Only search in the relevant table column i.e. if somone is searching Location
        ' only search in the Location column
        With Range("Table1[" & SearchColumn & "]")
        
        ' Find the first match
            Set RecordRange = .Find(SearchTerm, LookIn:=xlValues)

            ' If a match has been found
            If Not RecordRange Is Nothing Then

                FirstAddress = RecordRange.Address
                RowCount = 0

                Do
                
                    ' Set the first cell in the row of the matching value
                    Set FirstCell = Range("A" & RecordRange.Row)
                    
                    ' Add matching record to List Box
                    Results.AddItem
                    Results.List(RowCount, 0) = FirstCell(1, 1)
                    Results.List(RowCount, 1) = FirstCell(1, 2)
                    Results.List(RowCount, 2) = FirstCell(1, 3)
                    Results.List(RowCount, 3) = FirstCell(1, 4)
                    Results.List(RowCount, 4) = FirstCell(1, 5)
                    Results.List(RowCount, 5) = FirstCell(1, 6)
                    Results.List(RowCount, 6) = FirstCell(1, 7)
                    Results.List(RowCount, 7) = FirstCell(1, 8)
                    Results.List(RowCount, 8) = FirstCell(1, 9)
                    RowCount = RowCount + 1
                    
                    ' Look for next match
                    Set RecordRange = .FindNext(RecordRange)

                    ' When no further matches are found, exit the sub
                    If RecordRange Is Nothing Then

                        Exit Sub

                    End If

                ' Keep looking while unique matches are found
                Loop While RecordRange.Address <> FirstAddress

            Else
            
                ' If you get here, no matches were found
                Results.AddItem
                Results.List(RowCount, 0) = "Nothing Found"
            
            End If
          
            

        End With

End Sub

Thank you,

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Sort by date Sort by votes
just for the fun, i did this in a dictionary, but if you like you can filter your listbox in the 5 columns and copy the remaining listrows to your listbox or combobox.
The part between asterixes was for my test, i didn't have textboxes, so i used ranges.

VBA Code: 
Option Compare Text                                             'IMPORTANT !!!!! makes the whole module not case-sensitive

Hi,

I tried but giving this error Variable no defined and highlight this line:


VBA Code: 
 Set dict = CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")

Thank you,

add dict to this line and next perhaps also i, c1 and others (i don't use "option explicit")
VBA Code: 
Dim sh, LO, DBR, HRR, C As Range, MyResults, Arr(),dict

I changed the line as your suggestion:
VBA Code: 
Dim sh, LO, DBR, HRR, C As Range, MyResults, Arr(), dict, i, c1

But now giving variable no defined again and highlight this line:

VBA Code: 
For r = 1 To UBound(DBR)

thank you

add r in that dim row or delete "option explicit" (i'm not a big fan of that)

Now keep displaying no column few times and then nothing left.

This the code now:

VBA Code: 
Private Sub SearchBtn_Click()

     Set dict = CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")            'dictionary for the result

     DBR = LO.DataBodyRange.Value                               'read the databodyrange
     HRR = LO.HeaderRowRange.Value                              'read the headerrow
