Hi All,

I have 30 and above sheets in a work book and like that I am having 5 such
books. The sheets are named as 201, 202, 203 ....etc as per the contents in
that particular sheets. (201, 202 .....are the P.O nos.). all the work
sheets are of having similar format of datas.

Now what I need is if I want to look the details of one single sheet (say
324) I have go all the sheets one by one and it is hard to find out.

If any body give me a solution so that if I type a particular no. (forms
part of the name of the sheet) that sheet should appear for me.

Help please.

TT

Hi No News

If your really want to do it this way, add this code to each sheet:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo nosheet
If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then
Sheets(Range("A1").Value).Activate
End If
Exit Sub

nosheet:
MsgBox ("No sheet with the name " & Range("A1").Value & " found")
End Sub

Amend the $A$1 to the cell you want to use.

Alternatively, you could right-click the navigation arrows at the
bottom left of the screen (next to Sheet1 in a new workbook) and select
your sheet from there.

Regards

Steve

Dear Steeve.

Thanks for your immediate reply.

For your 2nd option. Since I have more than 100 Sheets It is difficult for
me to select

For your 1st option:- Since I was not so familier with excel, I do not know
where to add these codes to each sheet. Can you explain please.

Thanks in advance.

Hi No News

Pasting the code into 100 sheets would be painful itself, so:

Press Alt+F11 to open the vb editor.

Click Insert Module.

Paste the following code into the window that opens:

Sub SheetFind()
Dim mySheet As String

On Error GoTo nosheet
mySheet = InputBox("Please enter the Sheet name to activate", "GoTo
Sheet")
Sheets(mySheet).Activate
Exit Sub

nosheet:
MsgBox ("No sheet with the name " & mySheet & " found")
End Sub


***End of code***

The Input box isn't very elegant but functional.

To run the macro:

From the Excel toolbar click Tools Macro Macros SheetFind.

You might want to investigate placing a custom button on your toolbar
and assigning the macro to it so that it runs with a single click
(right-click a toolbar and Customize...)

Regards

Steve

Dear Steve,

When running the macro it stops at the following line with error

Dim mySheet As String

Please advise what todo

Hi No News

The error is in this line (Isuspect that it is in red in your code):

mySheet = InputBox("Please enter the Sheet name to activate",
"GoTo
Sheet")

The problem has come from the formatting of the line in the posting.

Make sure that "GoTo Sheet") is on the same line, not split as in the
original post and remove the " (double quote) that the vba editor will
have added after the last close bracket - it should be "GoTo Sheet")
not "GoTo Sheet ") "

Regards

Steve
