How about using Edit/Find from Excel's menu bar? Just make sure you click
the Option button to reveal all the possible options and select Workbook
from the "Within" dropdown. Finish by clicking the Find All button.

Really, this work well. Just not sure how better set the other options
available:
Search: by Rows/ by Columns
Look in: Formulas/Values/Comments
and checkboxes 'Match case', 'Match entire cell contents'.
Or this does not matter in this case?

Thanks.
