We need an Excel macro which does the following: we have many spreadsheets, as many as 100, with lists of names, work titles, work department and email. The macro needs to find certain keywords in one of two columns (it must search both columns) and then select the complete record and export it to a separate spreadsheet. We need to be able to find a range of keywords. For example we might say, find all records with any of the following words in the specified columns: biology, medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, healthcare, etc. etc. We also want an exclusion feature if possible. For example, we would like to say, find records with any of the keywords listed but exclude records with the following terms: part-time, consultant, adjunct, etc etc. Finally, we want the macro to search one spreadsheet after another and so we need some form of panel to specify which spreadsheets to search. All of the spreadsheets can be in one directory if this helps. Most single spreadsheets are a few thousand records but some are as large as 10,000.

Hi, I have a university degree in economics and IT, and several decades of system design and programming, in the recent decade especially in Excel and VBA. I plan to complete the project via writing an Excel macro contained in a separate XLSM file. This approach makes further use of the macro very convenient by offering a Control sheet containing cells populated by the usual Open file and/or select folder dialogs to identify the current input and output files (or the folders containing them, as required by the job) and hosting command buttons and other controls if necessary. In my approach you'll have opportunity to consult details with me, to test pilot solutions if necessary in order to achieve an optimal final solution. Further use of macros, fixing of bugs and minor changes are included in the bid without any additional fees. I can start working on the project immediately and complete the job within a day. Regards

Hello! I am a professional programmer with many years of experience using Python. I have read your project description, and I can create the Excel search macro you require. To do so, I will use Python 3.5, which has very powerful builtin abilities for working with Excel files.. I have written very similar programs in the past, and I would be happy to show examples. Please contact me so we may speak further and so I can send files. Thank you for your consideration.

Hi, Your project sounds very interesting and simple enough and I believe that I'll be able to perform the task perfectly. Considering the great amount of data, my suggestion is to convert every spreadsheet into one database. I think that would be much quicker. Anyhow, I can create whatever you need whether you want the conversion or not. I have over 15 years of experience as Physics and Math teacher; but, I've also done some VA work, which included a lot of both Excel and MS Word work as well as some Access, VBA tinkering. You're welcome to check my reviews and should you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer. Kindest regards. Milan

I will make a macro which will work as under: 1. Display an inputbox to enter the search keywords separated by commas. If you are not comfortable with this arrangement, it can ask for keywords until you enter a zero length keyword. 2. Display another inputbox to enter exclusion keywords. Same logic as in step 1. 3 Then it will search the values, leave the exclusions and copy the current record in a new work sheet. After First find it will create a new worksheet in the same workbook and all subsequent finds will be copied in that worksheet. This macro you have to copy in each work book. if you want to search many workbooks / worksheets, then I can a make an VB application which will ask you to choose the directory to search and then search all files in that directory. Alternatively you can search a single file. However, this will cost you US$ 200.

Hello, as there is many spreadsheet and high number of records, i would like to suggest to use visual basic instead of Macro as Macros will freeze Microsoft excel till it finish which might take some time with large number of records and many search criteria. i can build an example for you if needed BR, MA
