HELP!!!! Search all Spreadsheets for data

nathan663 · Dec 8, 2008

I have multiple Spreadsheets, all with the same lay out but with different data in the cells, (Different answers for different Spreadsheets) Is it possible to search through every one of these and pull out each Spread sheet or provide a list of the spreadsheets with a country in a certain cell (for example), i would have a few different criteria i would be searching for?

For example if i wanted a list of All Spreadsheets with United Kingdom in Cell B3, would this be possible?

Hi,

Code:

Sub kTest()
Dim i   As Long, txt As String, SearchStr As String

SearchStr = Application.InputBox("Enter Search Value", "Search all sheets", Type:=2)

If SearchStr <> "False" Then
    For i = 1 To Worksheets.Count
        If UCase(Sheets(i).Range("B3")) = UCase(SearchStr) Then
            txt = txt & vbCrLf & Sheets(i).Name
        End If
    Next
    If Len(txt) > 1 Then
        txt = Mid$(txt, 2)
        MsgBox txt
    End If
End If
End Sub

HTH

Hi,

Hit Alt+F11 > Go to insert > module > paste this code on the right side. Close the window.

Now goto tools > macro > macros > select kTest and click on Run.

Here is a tutorial on Excel macros
