00:00In this video, I'm going to demonstrate to you how you can search for text number or any characters in a cell of your data set like this.
00:06This can be useful in a scenario where you want to perform a blanket search in every field of your data set looking for its occurrence.
00:13So let's go.
00:14So first thing you're going to have to do is to drop a text box.
00:16Go to Developer tab.
00:18If your Developer tab is not here, right-click anywhere on your ribbon here.
00:21Customize the ribbon here.
00:23And in here, make sure you're selected as Customize Ribbon.
00:27And make sure that the developer is checked on.
00:28Once that's done, this Developer tab will be available for you.
00:31Next, you're going to click on Insert.
00:33Go to ActiveX Control.
00:35You're going to select this text box here and drop it anywhere on the top or anywhere on your spreadsheet.
00:40Once that's done, right-click anywhere on your text box like this.
00:45And then click on Properties.
00:47And in here, link cell.
00:48Let's link it as E1, which is this cell over here.
00:52And hit Enter.
00:53Once that's done, close that pop-up window.
00:56And then disable Design Mode.
00:58So every time you enter anything like that, you can see E1 is being populated.
01:03I mean, if you like, what you can do is go to Design Mode, drag this above E1 so that it's covered like that, so that you don't see it.
01:10There's no distraction or anything like that.
01:12So I'm going to leave it here for now, I guess.
01:15Once that's done, let's do the highlighting portion of it.
01:17You select your dataset table like this, excluding the header all the way down to the very last row.
01:24Go to Home and under Style, Conditional Formatting, and you click on New Rules.
01:30In these new rules, use formula and use this formula.
01:33Once that's done, click on Format.
01:37And in here, make sure you select the Fill tab and select any color that you want.
01:42Let's say I'm going to select a red color here.
01:44Click OK and OK.
01:46Now, if you enter any text in this text box here, but before you do that, if this comes up and you're unable to enter this, go to Developer and disable Design Mode.
01:55That's what I forgot to do.
01:56So over here, click on this, and as you type the word Fresh, every occurrence of F on your dataset table is being highlighted.
02:03And as you type More Character, it starts to converge and, you know, F, R, E, and it highlights the cell that has those texts.
02:13You can also detect numbers like 8.
02:16You can see every occurrence of 8.
02:18And as you start to put more numbers in it, you can see 8, 2, and maybe 0.
02:23You can see it goes exactly to that number.
02:26And also detects things like exclamation mark or punctuation like this.
