I have 2 separate excel (2010) workbooks I'm working with and I would like to create a macro that, when run, will copy a variable value that is in cell J1 in workbook 1, and search workbook 2 for that value.

I've tried recording a macro that uses the search box but it doesn't consider the variable value of J1, and always enters the value that the macro was initially recorded with.

Please Help!

Hi Jesanicholls,

First we need to specify the search value.
Start code with:
Dim sValue As String
sValue = Range("J1").Value

Then look for the Cells.Find part of the code and change the text found after What:= into sValue.

If you need further assistance then post your code along with your question.

Best regards,
Trowa
