I am using the following macro to search a parts list I have 3 columns. Column A is the description Column B is the Part location Column C is the Part # If I use the manual method to filter my parts by any given description in column A. Lets say "bearing" by using the sort filter button,and then "text filters" I get a very long list of items matching the word "bearing" within the description column A If I use the macro that I created that is listed below and use the word "bearing" in the input box I only get maybe 3 or 4 items that match the word "bearing" in the description in column A If anyone can help me sort this Out I would appreciate it greatly. Below is my Macro. Sub searchparts() ' ' searchparts Macro ' ' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+s ' Columns("A:A").Select Selection.AutoFilter Selection.AutoFilter strname = InputBox("enter text", "search collector") ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$A$4411").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=strname End Sub
