SEARCH MULTIPLE EXCEL FILES WINDOWS 7 HOW TO
The userform should be relatively self-explanatory, however the readme for it on Github goes into great depth on how to use.
These results can be saved to a text file for later reference. It displays all search results in a side window, including any spreadsheets it failed to open. Depending on workbook size, it can take roughly a second to scan each workbook. It will search individual sheets in each workbook on a cell level search. Naturally, macros etc have to be enabled for this to work, and the form appears upon opening the spreadsheet (you can access the code by pressing Alt + F11, going to the userform, and double-clicking the 'Begin Search' button in the design window).įull explanation of functions and features can be found on the Github readme, but it basically allows you to specify two text search terms to search for within a specified directory (that you can navigate to), it can search said directory recursively, and open spreadsheets that are password protected (so long as you provide the password). The spreadsheet makes use of a custom userform and makes use of VBA code (which you're welcome to use for any purpose). If not, feel free to modify the code how you see fit. For example, select This PC to look in all devices and drives on your computer, or select Documents to look only for files stored there.
Please note it's only been tested in Excel 2010, but it should work in 2007 and earlier versions. Search File Explorer: Open File Explorer from the taskbar or right-click on the Start menu, choose File Explorer, then select a location from the left pane to search or browse. After searching online, I found there was no one universal solution for the problem of searching multiple excel spreadsheets online, so I decided to write my own excel spreadsheet that searches other excel spreadsheets, that can be found here.
