Let's say we have a group of workbooks in a folder and we suspect that on
some sheet of some workbook the function =SUM() is being used. We want to
find the workbook, the sheet, and the cell holding the function:
1. open the workbooks in the folder
2. run the following:
Sub findit()
For Each wb In Workbooks
wb.Activate
For Each sh In wb.Sheets
sh.Activate
For Each r In sh.UsedRange
v = r.Formula
If InStr(v, "SUM(") > 0 Then
r.Select
Exit Sub
End If
Next
Next
Next
End Sub
Clearly this code can be modified to open each workbook in series.
