lr, slr, i, dlr are your variables.
(it's time to read chapter one again)

You can try...
If .Cells(i, "ag").Text = "overturned"
(note the quote marks around overturned)

Well I'm not really sure what you mean by variables. Overturned is the word
that I want the macro to look for in that cell. If it finds the word
overturned, but there hasn't been a date placed in column BM then I need it
to copy over to the spreadsheet that contains the macro. The set up works
for everything else that I'm using, but I need it to look in the values of
the cell rather than read the link of the cell.

How can I modify the following Macro so that it will look at the value of the
cell to find the word? Right now its set to look at the cell, but the cells
are linked to other sheets.

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Call Sheet4.getvalues
End Sub
--------------------------------------------------
Sub getvalues()
lr = Application.Max(2, Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row)
'MsgBox lr
Rows("2:" & lr).ClearContents
With Worksheets("Master")
slr = .Cells(Rows.Count, "c").End(xlUp).Row
'MsgBox slr
For i = 2 To slr
dlr = Cells(Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Row + 1
' If .Cells(i, "ag") = overturned Then .Rows(i).Copy Rows(dlr)
If .Cells(i, "ag") = overturned And Not IsDate(.Cells(i, "bm")) Then
..Rows(i).Copy Rows(dlr)
Next i
End With
End Sub
-------------------------------------------
Sub Fixit1() 'Use if event macro stops working
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
