Search Box Macro Script To Search Using Filters In Sheet

Search Box Macro Script To Search Using Filters In Sheet

Hi there,

There are ways to create a search box in excel using a VBA. The main macro code is pasted below.

I was wondering if this could be doable with Zoho sheet. Would this code work? Or, do you guys have a solution to search the sheet and filter the results?

Thanks,
Chad
