Use Windows 'search' to find Excel files containing 'a word or phr
It should work - it does on my machine. A couple of small things worth
checking: - is the search area specified correctly? - have you switched off case sensitivirty? - make sure that the test file is not hidden (or set the search to include hidden files) - presumably you are entering Text as the search paramater and not "Text" "David" wrote: the windows search feature ''find files containing <a word or phrase in the file " does not seem to be working for me, ie finds no files on a test run with simple text ("Test") copied from the file i am searching for Any help would be much appreciated |
