2 Part Question

[Steved]

Hello from Steved

1st Question

Is it possible to to a selected folder and have
a macro to open and close every workbook in that folder.

2nd question

The 1st question needs to be yes.

Can the macro have a formula in it that will allow
"find" as an example "the value would be 4444"

Steved,

Try something like

Dim FName As String
Dim FoundCell as Range
Dim WB As Workbook
ChDrive "C:" '<<< CHANGE
ChDir "C:\Test" '<<< CHANGE
FName = Dir("*.xls")
Do Until FName = ""
Set WB = Workbooks.Open(FName)
Set FoundCell = WB.Worksheets(1).Find(what:="the value is
444")
If Not FoundCell Is Nothing Then
' do something with FoundCell
Else
' not found
End If
WB.Close SaveChanges:=True ' or False
FName = Dir()
Loop
