Hello,

I have a directory with approx 1000 xls-files.
I want in an new excel file to search automatically for string 'Source:' which is always in column A, and copy all test in rows following where 'Source:" is found in each spreadsheet. Thanks in advance for any help?

Regards,
Tom

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
