Does anyone have a suggestion on how I could create a situation where clicking on a particular word in a cell initiates a Find for that word? I have a list of customers and it would be helpful to be able to click on a particular customer and then see all the other locations in my workbook that mentions that customer.

Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Create a chart in one keystroke
Select the data and press Alt+F1 to insert a default chart. You can change the default chart to any chart type
You can use this conditional formula for it.
Put the word you want to find in Cel J1
Code:
=(LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(UPPER(A1);UPPER($J$1);"")))/LEN($J$1)>=1

Sorry, but not quite following the formula. Can you explain what it does? Again, I am just looking for a way to click on a word in a cell and have that generate a search for other instances of that word in the workbook. Thanks!
