Previously, someone created a macro that automatically highlights the cell that I search in the macro. For example, when I search a barcode, it would highlight the corresponding barcode in excel. I used this for scanning barcodes with a barcode scanner and seeing if my excel spread sheet has that barcode. The macro works exactly how I want it to work, but it doesn't work in rapid succession. Im scanning hundreds of barcodes, and I can't run the macro each time I want to scan a barcode.

I have an excel spreadsheet full of personal data on my contacts (i.e. name, address, phone number, email address, etc.). Each of these are broken out into columns. The problem is, some columns have the wrong information in them. For instance, I have a few columns that have someone's email address in a column that calls for their phone number. Is there a formula I can use to search an entire column and then extract the email address from that column and move that data to another column (but on the same row)
