Thank you. It works perfectly. I can't thank you enough. For me as a newbie
to the newsgroups getting an answer to this problem is terrific. I am
inspired by the whole process.

Thanks Joel,

It's almost perfect now. The only minor thing left is that column A
populates with the full path. How do I trim it so it is just the file name?
(just from the last \ to the right end?

I found two minor problems

1) I don't think your code wrote the filename in column A so I forgot to do
it.
2) I left a pie ce of you old code in themacro that was putting the formula
in the worksheet. I think my code was working and then your old code
over-wrote the data my code put in the workbook

Hi Joel, Thanks for helping me. Unfortunately the code didn't work. Opening
the workbooks instead is okay. I changed 2 instances of "loot" to LookAt" and
then the code ran, but when I ran it, it returned 3 columns of zeros. I noted
that the part at the top still references the hard code of D1, O20, O38. The
first column for "Workbook Name" did not return any values. When I click in
the results in cell B3 for example the formula bar displays: =$D$1, so I
think it may be referening the sheet I am looking at instead of the sheets
from the searched files.

I opened the workbooks which I think is simplier than your appoach of using

Could someone help me to modify the appended code from Ron de Bruins web
site, please? The values I really want to obtain are shown in the code
(namely in D1,O20,O38) but rather than hard coding D1,O20,O38 I would like to
use €œfind€� and then €œoffset€� to obtain them and use the code of €œfind€� and
€œoffset€� to replace: €œSet Rng = Range("D1,O20,O38")€�. To restate this:
I would like to €œfind€� the text: €œLot*€� (located in B1) then offset 2
columns to the right to arrive at D1
I would like to €œfind€� the text: €œGrand*€� (located in N20) then offset 1
column to the right to arrive at O20
I would like to €œfind€� the text: €œGrand*€� (located in N38) then offset 1
column to the right to arrive at O38
This would allow for someone typing one of the key words of €œLot€� or €œGrand€�
in a different cell but still return the value that is referenced by these
labels. Or if there is a better way than using €œfind€� and €œoffset€� then that
would be good too. The texts are actually: €œLot # :€� and €œGrand Average:€� but
I was thinking to search with a wild card, * as sometimes the text is typed
slightly different, eg: Avg instead of Average. I am using Excel 2007 with
Vista. This is my first newsgroup post. Thanks, John Yab.
