Hello All,
I'm trying to create a search tool that, that will yield a new spreadsheet showing the text of any cell where there is a "hit" for that search term, and some information on the workbook/sheet it was found in too.
I've adapted the following code, and it can accomplish a single term, (Term 1) but I would like to make it return multiple terms in one search- Term 1, Term 2, Term 3 etc.
I've seen some other threads which have gotten me this far, and there may be some kind of array solution or something, but everything I try just doesn't allow for multiple terms.
Any ideas?
