I am running a macro against 20 workbooks. It appears that there is no consistency in how thay are created.

I am trying to copy a few cells from one of the sheets. I am using the .find method to locate the beginning of the data to copy.

I thought I was going to be able to do:
cells.find("BLAH - Content")

But unfortunately some people put "BLAH - Content" and some put "BLAH - FY16 - Content".

I can't search for starting with BLAH. It is too common in the file.

Is there a wild card with .find?

Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
Never mind. Threw in some * and it worked.
