Hi everyone,

I have an excel workbook with many tabs/worksheets. Each worksheet is in pretty much the same format. The thing im trying to do will work much easier by an automated VBA macro. Something that a little beyond me but I'm getting there.

What I want to do manulally is this:

In my multi-tab work book, each tab has 4-6 columns. In the A column is the index number (sampno). In columns B and C are two related data numbers. Sometimes there are columns D and E, also related. The index numbers in A are numbered in ascending order, five digits usually like 78001, 78002 ... etc but sometimes is skips a sequence of numbers. What I want is to look up in the first column (sampno) any number that ends with a "0' (a zero) and return the entire row into a new blank sheet.

Is is possible to write code that can go through all the tabs and tabulate my "0" columns in the first sheet? It would also be great if the code stopped when it got to the non-five digit numbers at the bottom of the file. You'll see in the mock sheet in the dropbox folder that the rows don't start at A1 .. often further down the sheet due to titles and some id information.

Here is a dropbox link to a mock spreadsheet and some images of what i am talking about.
