Finding a value and going to that cell?
Hi all, is it possible to search for a value or name through an array of sheets(for now lets say sheets 1 - 3) and when that value or name is found go to that cell no matter which sheet, if more than 1 sheet is found with the value give the option to move on to subsequent sheets or stay with the first sheet it stopped at? I'm probably asking a bit much on this one! Hope you can help!

Here is a macro that finds the word Tada in sheets 1 and 2.
Sub FindStuff() Dim colWks As Collection Dim wks As Worksheet Dim rng As Range Dim strFirst As String Set colWks = New Collection colWks.Add Sheets("Sheet1"), Sheets("Sheet1").Name colWks.Add Sheets("Sheet2"), Sheets("Sheet2").Name For Each wks In colWks Set rng = wks.Cells.Find(What:="Tada", _ LookIn:=xlFormulas, _ LookAt:=xlPart, _ MatchCase:=False) If Not rng Is Nothing Then strFirst = rng.Address Do wks.Select rng.Select If MsgBox("How about this one...", vbYesNo, "Found One") = vbYes Then _ Exit Sub Set rng = wks.Cells.FindNext(rng) Loop Until rng.Address = strFirst End If Next wks MsgBox "Sorry, that was all of them", vbInformation, "All Done" End Sub -- HTH...

Hi Jim Thanks for the reply, i had to add an End If before Loop Unti but other than that it worked, i added an input box at the begining t decide which string to search for, your code brought up the message bo but without any content (i would like to show the contents of the cel it found here) and when i clicked yes it did not transport me to th cell that contained the one i said yes to......is it possible you coul have a look at it and see if the above additions are possible?

You could get away without the end if but the code wrapped when I posted it.
Here is a slightly modified version of the procedure. Sub FindStuff() Dim colWks As Collection Dim wks As Worksheet Dim rng As Range Dim strFirst As String Set colWks = New Collection colWks.Add Sheets("Sheet1"), Sheets("Sheet1").Name colWks.Add Sheets("Sheet2"), Sheets("Sheet2").Name application.screenupdating = true For Each wks In colWks Set rng = wks.Cells.Find(What:="Tada", _ LookIn:=xlFormulas, _ LookAt:=xlPart, _ MatchCase:=False) If Not rng Is Nothing Then strFirst = rng.Address Do wks.Select rng.Select If MsgBox("How about this one... " & rng.Text, _ vbYesNo, "Found One") = vbYes Then _ Exit Sub Set rng = wks.Cells.FindNext(rng) Loop Until rng.Address = strFirst End If Next wks MsgBox "Sorry, that was all of them", vbInformation, "All Done" End Sub -- HTH...
