This will ask you for an input, and then copy/paste results to a Sheet2.
Sub CopyCA()
Dim DestSheet As Worksheet
Set DestSheet = Worksheets("Sheet2")
Dim sRow As Long
Dim dRow As Long
Dim sCount As Long
sCount = 0
dRow = 0
myword = InputBox("Enter items to search for.")
For sRow = 1 To Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
If Cells(sRow, "A") Like "*" & myword & "*" Then
sCount = sCount + 1
dRow = dRow + 1
Cells(sRow, "A").Copy Destination:=DestSheet.Cells(dRow, "A")
End If
Next sRow
MsgBox sCount & " Significant rows copied", vbInformation, "Transfer Done"
End Sub
