Trying to compare formulas in many spreadsheets with the master
spreadsheet to see where the error is.

Totals do not match up. Tried Excel Synchronize but it was too
convoluted to get to the meat and potatoes. Wondering if anyone has a
VB script or knows of one.

Are the formulas you wish to compare in the same sheet
name and cell reference in all instances ?

If they are, then there is a fantastic macro that can look
through closed workbooks and extract the data into a
spreadsheet - I got it from John Walkembach's website (J-
walk.com).

I find it invaluable, and have found that it can be
enhanced to include the workbook name as well.

Code is shown below:

Sub CWRIR(fPath As String, fName As String, sName As
String, _
rng As String, destRngUpperLeftCell As String)

Dim sRow As Integer
Dim sColumn As Integer
Dim sRows As Integer
Dim sColumns As Integer
Dim vrow As Integer
Dim vcol As Integer
Dim fpStr As String
Dim cArr()

On Error GoTo NoArr

If Right(fPath, 1) < "\" Then fPath = fPath & "\"
If Dir(fPath & fName) = "" Then
CWA = CVErr(xlErrValue)
Exit Sub
End If

sRow = Range(rng).Row
sColumn = Range(rng).Column
sRows = Range(rng).Rows.Count
sColumns = Range(rng).Columns.Count
ReDim cArr(sRows, sColumns)
Set destrange = ActiveSheet.Range(destRngUpperLeftCell)

For vrow = 1 To sRows
For vcol = 2 To sColumns + 1
fpStr = "'" & fPath & "[" & fName & "]" & sName & "'!"
& _
"r" & sRow + vrow - 1 & "c" & sColumn + vcol - 2
destrange.Offset(vrow - 1, vcol - 1) =
ExecuteExcel4Macro(fpStr)
Next
Next
NoArr:
End Sub

Sub qaq()
Dim wbName As String, wbList() As String, wbCount As
Integer
Dim f As Integer, Dirme As String, a As String, c As
String, e As String

Dim DestSheet As String, Destme As String

response = MsgBox(msg, DialogStyle, Title)
If response = vbNo Then

Exit Sub
