    Workbook Searching

    Hi,

    I am looking to create a workbook in excel, the workbook will have several work sheets each relating to a specific customer with part number information. I would like to add a front worksheet to act as a "home screen" and contain a search bar which will allow the user to input a part number hit enter and jump to that entry within the workbook.

    Could anyone help me understand how I can achieve this or point me in the direction of a tutorial which might help?

    Thanks in advance!

    Re: Workbook Searching

    Sounds like you would need VBA.

    That said, multiple worksheets, one per customer is difficult to manage. I would advocate a single worksheet where you add a column for Customer Number. Make it a Structured Table and you can sort, filter and analyse with Pivot Tables and Charts.

    You may still need VBA but it will be a lot simpler.
