Title says it all, I have a hard time finding out how in a selection of many cells I can search of there exists at least once a cell with the name "x"

Thanks!

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Klash Ville,

If you mean contains "X" then in it's simplest form, provided that the selection is contiguous, try....

Code:
Sub Testx()
 
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Selection, "x") > 0 Then MsgBox "You have at least one x"


End Sub

Hope that helps.
