I am trying to use a goal seek for every column that contains “2700” in row 38. If a column has “2700” in row 38, I’d like row 130 to equal 5 by adjusting row 50. Please note, in the row 38 contents it can be 2700 or a number of 2700 and letter combinations, which is why I have to do a search for contains "2700". I’d like this to repeat for 100 columns. Can anyone help me? I’m piecing together codes but nothing I’ve found is as flexible.

The best I can find for Goal seek is: Sub Macro1()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 100
Cells(130, i).GoalSeek Goal:=5, ChangingCell:=Cells(50, i)
Next i
End Sub
The best I can find for find is:
For i = 1 To 100


Cells.Find(What:="2700", After:=ActiveCell).Activate

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks very much in advance!!

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
Ignore the code above, this is the best I can do but I can't get it to continue for 100 columns.

Range("A1").Select
Cells.Find(What:="2700", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveCell.Offset(120, 0).Range("A1").GoalSeek Goal:=5, ChangingCell:= _
ActiveCell.Offset(40, 0).Range("A1")
Cells.Find(What:="2700", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveCell.Offset(120, 0).Range("A1").GoalSeek Goal:=5, ChangingCell:= _
ActiveCell.Offset(40, 0).Range("A1")
Cells.Find(What:="2700", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveCell.Offset(120, 0).Range("A1").GoalSeek Goal:=5, ChangingCell:= _
ActiveCell.Offset(40, 0).Range("A1")
End Sub
