Question

I’m new to VBA and I need to create macro, which will find all cells in column A that contain “test”, “data” or “new” and copy all these cells to column B, starting in B2, all other cells should be copied to column C, starting in C2.

Answer 1

Open your VBA editor and paste below code in Sheet1 (under Microsoft Excel Object):

Option Explicit

Sub MyMacro()
Dim iLastRow As Long 
Dim i As Long 
Dim sVal As String

iLastRow = range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row 'get last row in use

For i = 2 To iLastRow 'iterate trough rows from second to last in use
    sVal = range("A" & i).Value
    If sVal = "test" Or sVal = "data" Or sVal = "new" Then
        range("B" & i).Value = sVal
    Else
        If sVal <> "" Then range("C" & i).Value = sVal
    End If

Next i 
End Sub

Ensure that mouse pointer is set somewhere inside procedure MyMacro and hit F5 to execute code. It should do the magic you’ve asked for 🙂
