Looking for a string in Excel file with multiple sheets

Hello,

I want to read an Excel file with multiple sheets. From the file, I want to search for a particular string.

How shall I do it?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Is this a one off task or are you looking to automate for many spreadsheets? When you say "search for a particular string", what exactly are you looking to return?

Hello David,

I mean, if I found the particular string, then I'll be extracting the information from a particular row.

I hope it's clear to you now.

You should try looking up the xlsread, strmatch, find and strncmp functions in the help. There are comprehensive examples that should demonstrate what you need to do.

If you are still struggling then please upload some sample data.
