Am a novice XL user. Trying to learn how to access row data based on a
specific text string in (possibly) different columns, i.e., if "Current
Assets" is in C5, and I want to manipulate data in cols 10 thru 20 on the
same row, and want to have the same formula access "Current Assets" data in
another worksheet which may be on row 6 with its corresponding data fields in
cols 10-20. Basically, trying to identify the line that "Current Assets" is
on, and then use that knowledge to work with the numerical data related to
that acct.

For a formula look in the help index for MATCH
for a macro look in the vba help index for FIND
