Ex;
Cell A1 : "C184A"
Cell A2 : =FINDSPC(A1,[Top/Bottom/Left/Right])

Cell A2 would be the path+filename to the file that's found. It needs to search a predefined folder (lets call it C:\test) for "*C184A*Top*" or "*C184A*Bottom*" etc...

I've searched, but can't find any results that are very similar. :/

Thanks in advance for any help

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
scratch this. Figured out an alternative using Name Manager and the INDEX function. Thanks guys :)
