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

    'PURPOSE: Filter Data on User-Determined Column & Text/Numerical value

    Dim myButton As OptionButton
    Dim SearchString As String
    Dim ButtonName As String
    Dim sht As Worksheet
    Dim myField As Long
    Dim DataRange As Range
    Dim mySearch As Variant

    'Load Sheet into A Variable
      Set sht = ActiveSheet

    'Unfilter Data (if necessary)
      On Error Resume Next
        sht.ShowAllData
      On Error GoTo 0
      
    'Filtered Data Range (include column heading cells)
      Set DataRange = sht.Range("A4:E31") 'Cell Range
      'Set DataRange = sht.ListObjects("Table1").Range 'Table

    'Retrieve User's Search Input
      mySearch = sht.Shapes("UserSearch").TextFrame.Characters.Text 'Control Form
      'mySearch = sht.OLEObjects("UserSearch").Object.Text 'ActiveX Control
      'mySearch = sht.Range("A1").Value 'Cell Input
      
    'Determine if user is searching for number or text
      If IsNumeric(mySearch) = True Then
        SearchString = "=" & mySearch
      Else
        SearchString = "=*" & mySearch & "*"
      End If
        
    'Loop Through Option Buttons
      For Each myButton In sht.OptionButtons
        If myButton.Value = 1 Then
          ButtonName = myButton.Text
          Exit For
        End If
      Next myButton
      
    'Determine Filter Field
      On Error GoTo HeadingNotFound
        myField = Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(ButtonName, DataRange.Rows(1), 0)
      On Error GoTo 0

      'sht.OLEObjects("UserSearch").Object.Text = "" 'ActiveX Control
      'sht.Range("A1").Value = "" 'Cell Input
      
    Exit Sub

    'ERROR HANDLERS
    HeadingNotFound:
      MsgBox "The column heading [" & ButtonName & "] was not found in cells " & DataRange.Rows(1).Address & ". " & _
        vbNewLine & "Please check for possible typos.", vbCritical, "Header Name Not Found!"
      
    End Sub
