Searching and counting text in a spreadsheet
Is there a way to search an entire multiple sheet spreadsheet for a
particular text string, count how many times it occurs and return the sum of the total number of times the text occurs? |

Searching and counting text in a spreadsheet
Try this idea from a recent positng of mine where a, b,c are names of
worksheets and a2 is what you are looking for and a1:h10 is the search area =SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&{"b","c","d","e"} &"'!a1:h10"),A2)) -- Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software "jafarz" wrote in message ...

Searching and counting text in a spreadsheet
Thanks Don, i couldnt get that to work. What would the formula be if i wanted
to search sheets "Sheet2" and "Sheet3" for all occurances of the text "fbl"? If it works i can add the additional sheets to the formula.
