VBA InputBox Issue

I have a simple macro. To copy values from one workbook to another in this case ML to MCR based on the user input number.

Number format can be e.g M5888-9087, M1990A 600111512, 453564034421 822349224.

Macro works with numbers like M5888-9087 but if I enter M1990A 600111512 or 453564034421 822349224 it copies all the rows instead of filtering M1990A 600111512 or 453564034421 822349224 and copying those selected rows.

Space in between is the culprit. How to overcome this?

Does changing the filter helps? I see other filters in object library.

Sub MCR()

Dim myInp As Variant

myInp = VBA.Interaction.InputBox(Prompt:="Enter the number", Title:="MCR Macro")

Windows("ML.xlsx").Activate

Worksheets("Full-View").Select

Worksheets("Full-View").ListObjects("Table1").Range.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=myInp

Range("Table1[[#Headers],[Serial]]").Select

ActiveCell.Offset(1, 7).Range("Table1[[#Headers],[Serial]]").Select

Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select

Selection.Copy

Windows("MCR Macro.xlsm").Activate

Range("A4").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _

:=False, Transpose:=False

End Sub

    **Your comment:**I can either paste them in the template as shown below or keep them in a separate file if necessary.

    If you upload a workbook with the data then I will copy the worksheet into the Macro Workbook and insert some VBA code in the project to update the Unique List worksheet as required.

    I have the sample data in the unique list worksheet in the template. If I where to upload a workbook I would just copy paste those three columns into a new workbook nothing more than that.

    For sake of testing the macro run that data would be sufficient I guess.

    Here is the linkwhile formatting the numbers make sure the leading zero is preserved, excel removes the zero when the column is formatted to number. Just a heads up.
