    Search for text and edit neighbouring cell

    I've been struggling with this one for a while now, having read several posts on here but can't seem to make it work.

    I've got a workbook with several sheets, each of them containing a 'revision number' cell at different locations (e.g. cell X7 contains "Revision:" and cell Y7 the number, e.g. "4"). I'd like to write a macro that searches for the word "Revision:" and adds 1 to the value in the neighbouring cell. So far I've tried the code below, but get the error "Run-time error '13': Type mismatch." What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks!

    OK 2 things.

    1) Edit your first post and add code tags for vba code
    e.g.
    [code]Please [url=https://www.excelforum.com/login.php]Login or Register [/url] to view this content.[/code]
