    find content in closed workbook

    I want to do the equivalent of "ctrl-f" to find content in a bunch of closed workbooks.

    More specifically: Given a string, I want to search for the cells that contain this string in all the workbooks in a directory. Then I want to return the location of those cells (workbook, sheet, cell). I have been trying to do this using power query and I have no experience using VBA.

    Any ideas?

    Place this file into the folder of interest, open it, and then click the button. When prompted, enter the string you want to find.
