    VBA: Search cell value multiple sheets, then activate sheet

    Hi all,

    I have a workbook with multiple sheets. Every sheet has a header with unique numbers. To find an exact number I have to browse every sheet manually to find it.
    I've managed to find this selecting all sheets and then use "Find & Select", but is it a way to do this using VBA?

    I would like to enter the word I will search for in cell H2 in the first sheet, and then when I run macro, Excel will activate the sheet where the word is found.

    I guess this is kind of easy to do, but I couldn't find a solution..


    Thanks

    Thanks, this isn't quite what I'm looking for.

    I want to put what i'm searhing for in cell H2. When I run the macro I want the sheet that contain the item I'm searching for to be activated.

    If i have 5 sheets, i.e Index, Sheet 1, Sheet 2, Sheet 3, Sheet 4, Sheet 5.
    Let's say that the word "Hello" is anywhere in Sheet 3.

    When I enter "Hello" in cell H2 in Index and run the macro, then Sheet 3 will be activated.
