I have the following piece of code that searches for custom searchwords in a spreadsheet and then highlights the rows.

How do I adjust it so it only selects the data present within those rows?




VBA Code:
    Dim Rng As Range, myUnion As Range, searchString As String
    Dim myCell As Range, arrSrc, El
    
    Set Rng = Selection
    If TypeName(Rng) <> "Range" Then MsgBox "You must select a range...", vbCritical, "Wrong selection": Exit Sub
    
   searchString = InputBox("Please type 'Sample' & any other searchwords seperated by a comma")
   searchString = Replace(searchString, ", ", ",")
  
   arrSrc = Split(searchString, ",")
   For Each El In arrSrc
        For Each myCell In Rng
            If InStr(myCell.Text, El) Then
                 If Not myUnion Is Nothing Then
                     Set myUnion = Union(myUnion, myCell.End(xlToRight.Select))
                 Else
                     Set myUnion = myCell.EntireRow
                 End If
            End If
        Next
  Next El
  If myUnion Is Nothing Then
       MsgBox "The text was not found in the selection"
   Else
       myUnion.Select
   End If
'
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
Try this:

VBA Code:
Sub SearchData()
  Dim Rng As Range, myUnion As Range, searchString As String
  Dim myCell As Range, arrSrc, El
  
  Set Rng = Selection
  If TypeName(Rng) <> "Range" Then
    MsgBox "You must select a range...", vbCritical, "Wrong selection"
    Exit Sub
  End If
  
  searchString = InputBox("Please type 'Sample' & any other searchwords seperated by a comma")
  searchString = Replace(searchString, ", ", ",")
  
  arrSrc = Split(searchString, ",")
  For Each El In arrSrc
    For Each myCell In Rng
      If InStr(myCell.Text, El) Then
        If Not myUnion Is Nothing Then
          Set myUnion = Union(myUnion, myCell)
        Else
          Set myUnion = myCell
        End If
      End If
    Next
  Next El
  If myUnion Is Nothing Then
    MsgBox "The text was not found in the selection"
  Else
    myUnion.Select
  End If
End Sub
