I am running a macro against 20 workbooks. It appears that there is no consistency in how thay are created.

I am trying to copy a few cells from one of the sheets. I am using the .find method to locate the beginning of the data to copy.

I thought I was going to be able to do:
cells.find("BLAH - Content")

But unfortunately some people put "BLAH - Content" and some put "BLAH - FY16 - Content".

I can't search for starting with BLAH. It is too common in the file.

Is there a wild card with .find?

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
