Excel Find Macro Help Needed

[Bruce Johnson]

I currently do the following steps to find all the occurrences of an entry
in a multi sheet Excel spreadsheet.

I'm looking for suggestions on modifying the macro to include the operations
in step 3. All my attempts at

doing so have been unsuccessful. Any help woud be much appreciated.

Step 1) Select a cell having the desired entry.



Step 2) < Ctrl-F > to run the following macro. (Copies the entry, selects
all the

sheets and brings up the Find dialog box)



Macro

Sub MultiFind()

Selection.Copy

Worksheets.Select

Cells.Select

Application.Dialogs(xlDialogFormulaFind).Show

Cells(1).Select

End Sub





Step 3) < Ctrl-V > to paste the selected entry to the Find dialog box.

< Enter > & < Enter > to display the next occurance of
the selected entry.



Step 4) < Enter > as required to display remaining entries.
