Anne... for example JULHO is equal JULY and is filename part.

a formula in CELL (A1) is ='[LEAO - JULHO-2002.xls]Plan1'!$A$1 with one
result... example $120 (in this CELL A1). I need one formula for find in A1
on formula < ='[LEAO - JULHO-2002.xls]Plan1'!$A$1 for a word.... in this
case "JULHO".

Thanks

Hi!

The word you want to find is not actually in the cell, it's in the formula.
The value in the cell is $120.

I'm not sure how this could be done.

Hi Rod

As Biff has pointed out, you cannot use FIND or SEARCH in this instance.
However, if you are just trying to locate on your sheet, every occurrence of
the word "JULHO" in formulae then
EditFind and enter JULHO in the white pane
Click Options and make sure you have Formulas selected in the Look in drop
down, and choose Find All.

This will give a list of all of the locations of cells holding JULHO in the
formula.
