I'm not sure if you're simply looking for 'find' feautre, try this:

texttofind = "blah blah blah" ' or whatever you're passing in to search for

Cells.Find(What:=texttofind, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas,
LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext,
MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate

Hope this helps,

like the macro to sort the various other sheets for the variable selected.
Is there a way to build a macro like this? Thank you.
