Needle in a haystack...searching for VBA code in all Excel sheets orfinding xls users of xla sheets....
I can't think of a way but I hope there is one where I can search a
directory of Excel sheets for a function call. Or ones that use certain xla files. Otherwise, I have to pull out my hair. THANKS John |
Needle in a haystack...searching for VBA code in all Excel sheets
Let's say we have a group of workbooks in a folder and we suspect that on
some sheet of some workbook the function =SUM() is being used. We want to find the workbook, the sheet, and the cell holding the function: 1. open the workbooks in the folder 2. run the following: Sub findit() For Each wb In Workbooks wb.Activate For Each sh In wb.Sheets sh.Activate For Each r In sh.UsedRange v = r.Formula If InStr(v, "SUM(") 0 Then r.Select Exit Sub End If Next Next Next End Sub Clearly this code can be modified to open each workbook in series. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu2007i "CodeMonkey" wrote: I can't think of a way but I hope there is one where I can search a directory of Excel sheets for a function call.
