Searching Multiple Workbooks
Hi all
I require an easy and free way to search through multiple workbooks. However the only ways i have located around this is via complex macros or buying an application (which I do not want to do). Say i have a new workbook and in cell A1 i want to do a search for the info i type in there and i click an icon to run the search macro. I want the macro to search 3 workbooks, named Alpha, Bravo and Charlie for the word stated in A1. All the excel workbooks are in the same folder, including the newly created one. Can someone like try to create a scenario for a Macro please? Or maybe even tell me of an easier way to search through multiple workbooks Thank you Claris -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...excel/200609/1 |

Claris,
what exactly do you want your formula/macro to return? The workbook in which the value is found? A sheet name? An address? A value next to the found item? Kostis Vezerides |

I need it to copy an entire row (8 row cells to be precise) and paste them
into the answer field on the answer workbook vezerid wrote: Claris, what exactly do you want your formula/macro to return? The workbook in which the value is found? A sheet name? An address?
