Hi Guys,

Appended Macro below,
Current it only find a match on multiple workbooks in Sheet1.
How can we make it, to also search multiple sheets if a workbook has more then one.

Thanks.


Dim xFso As Object
Dim xFld As Object
Dim xStrSearch As String
Dim xStrPath As String
Dim xStrFile As String
Dim xOut As Worksheet
Dim xWb As Workbook
Dim xWk As Worksheet
Dim xRow As Long
Dim xFound As Range
Dim xStrAddress As String
Dim xFileDialog As FileDialog
Dim xUpdate As Boolean
Dim xCount As Long
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Set xFileDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
xFileDialog.AllowMultiSelect = False
xFileDialog.Title = "Select a folder"
If xFileDialog.Show = -1 Then
xStrPath = xFileDialog.SelectedItems(1)
End If
If xStrPath = "" Then Exit Sub
xStrSearch = "#N/A"
xUpdate = Application.ScreenUpdating
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set xOut = Worksheets.Add
xRow = 1
With xOut
.Cells(xRow, 1) = "Workbook"
.Cells(xRow, 2) = "Worksheet"
.Cells(xRow, 3) = "Cell"
.Cells(xRow, 4) = "Text in Cell"
Set xFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set xFld = xFso.GetFolder(xStrPath)
xStrFile = Dir(xStrPath & "\*.xlsx*")
Do While xStrFile <> ""
Set xWb = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=xStrPath & "\" & xStrFile, UpdateLinks:=0, ReadOnly:=True, AddToMRU:=False)
For Each xWk In xWb.Worksheets
Set xFound = xWk.UsedRange.Find(xStrSearch)
If Not xFound Is Nothing Then
xStrAddress = xFound.Address
End If
Do
If xFound Is Nothing Then
Exit Do
Else
xCount = xCount + 1
xRow = xRow + 1
.Cells(xRow, 1) = xWb.Name
.Cells(xRow, 2) = xWk.Name
.Cells(xRow, 3) = xFound.Address
.Cells(xRow, 4) = xFound.Value
End If
Set xFound = xWk.Cells.FindNext(After:=xFound)
Loop While xStrAddress <> xFound.Address
Next
xWb.Close (False)
xStrFile = Dir
Loop
.Columns("A:D").EntireColumn.AutoFit
End With
MsgBox xCount & "cells have been found"
ExitHandler:
Set xOut = Nothing
Set xWk = Nothing
Set xWb = Nothing
Set xFld = Nothing
Set xFso = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = xUpdate
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox Err.Description, vbExclamation
Resume ExitHandler
End Sub
