Hi All,

I currently am tasked to find out from a SharePoint library which consists of thousands of Excel documents, the names of the files that contain a phrase "Fail" in one of the columns. The files are very large (contain a lot of rows of data inside them), and hence instead of opening individual files, finding the text "Fail" and if yes, note down the file name and progress with the next file in the library.

Is this possible to do with excel VBA in which the code can open all the files in a SharePoint library and find the text and provide us the name of the excel document in a text file. If yes, can someone help with the code snippet.

Your help in this is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
