Is there a way to switch to a specific excel window via macro?
I know
Code:
  On Error GoTo ChangeWinErr
    Set nw = ActiveWindow.ActivateNext
    If Windows.Count > 1 Then
       nw.Activate
       Exit Sub
    End If
to cycle through excel windows, but is there something like .AppActivate in Excel VBA?

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Figured it out! It's actually pretty easy. To switch to a specific window (assuming this is an already opened window with a file name) it's just:
Code:
Windows("filename.xlsm").Activate

Code:
    Windows(2).Activate

or

Code:
    Workbooks("Bob.xlsx").Activate
