Selecting cells by searching

Another way to select cells is to use Excel’s Home?Editing?Find & Select?Find command (or press Ctrl+F), which enables you to select cells by their contents. Click the Options button to display additional choices for refining the search.

Enter the text that you’re looking for; then click Find All. The dialog box expands to display all the cells that match your search criteria. For example, Figure 14-16 shows the dialog box after Excel has located all cells that contain the text Tucson. You can click an item in the list, and the screen will scroll so that you can view the cell in context. To select all the cells in the list, first select any single item in the list. Then press Ctrl+A to select them all.

Note that the Find and Replace dialog box allows you to return to the worksheet without dismissing the dialog box.
