I have a workbook with quite a few sheets and want to have a text box that displays and asks to enter a text, then the macro will unhide all sheets with that text in it. For instance, if I have sheet names - Work1, Work2, Work3, Data1, Data2, Data3, and only Work1 and Data1 sheets are visable, I want to hit the macro, input text box displays, I type in "Work", and all sheets with "Work" in the title unhide. I have the following but it unhides what is set rather than user input:


Code:
Sub Unhide_Sheets_Contain()    Dim wks As Worksheet
    Dim count As Integer
 
    count = 0
 
    For Each wks In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
        If (wks.Visible <> xlSheetVisible) And (InStr(wks.Name, "report") > 0) Then
            wks.Visible = xlSheetVisible
            count = count + 1
        End If
    Next wks
 
    If count > 0 Then
        MsgBox count & " worksheets have been unhidden.", vbOKOnly, "Unhiding worksheets"
    Else
        MsgBox "No hidden worksheets with the specified name have been found.", vbOKOnly, "Unhiding worksheets"
    End If
End Sub

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Code:
If (wks.Visible <> xlSheetVisible) And (InStr(wks.Name, TextBox1.Value) > 0) Then
