I need to be able to find the following patterns within my data -
usually within an entire workbook or worksheet:

Annnn (or B3425 as an example)
A = any letter A-Z
n = any number 0-9

This pattern would normally be found repeated in one column of any
worksheet but sometime they get scattered around thus the need to
search the whole workbook/sheet.

Using Excel 2003 here.

Is anyone familiar with using functions to code this or possibly an
add-in? Thanks.

Hi.

Can I ask what exactly you want the code to do? Do you want it to
highlight the cells in question, or do you want them copying and
pasting to another sheet?
