Hello

I have data that I manually scrape every day. This data needs to be organized into different sheets.
I have a workbook with different sheets.
The source worksheet of the data is "Today's Work"
The target worksheet is "IQ Eligible"

In Today's Work, column A contains information in the following format: random_text_IQ-eligible , where the random text changes for each cell.
The important thing to know is that not all the data will end in "IQ-eligible".
The VBA macro needs to be able to find and isolate the rows (A:C) that contain "IQ-eligible" and then copy them over to worksheet "IQ Work"
How would we go about this?

I have some VBA code that is being used for a different purpose, but some of it can be recycled into building this new macro.


VBA Code:
Sub Test()

Dim c As Range
Dim d As Long
Dim Source As Worksheet
Dim Target As Worksheet

Set Source = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Today's Work")
Set Target = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Bin Work")

For Each c In Source.Range("C1:C" & Source.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row)
   If c = "Bin" Then
        Source.Range("A" & c.Row & ":C" & c.Row).Copy
        Target.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
        Source.Range("A" & c.Row & ":C" & c.Row).ClearContents
   End If
Next c

For d = Source.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row To 1 Step -1
    If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Source.Range("A" & d & ":" & "C" & d)) = 0 Then
        Source.Range("A" & d & ":C" & d).Delete Shift:=xlUp
    End If
Next d

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
*****Correction******
copy them over to worksheet "IQ Work"
Needs to be worksheet "IQ Eligible"

Apologies!

Closing this thread.
I was able to figure it out on my own, using the VBA "like" operator and asterisks.
