Learn how to search data in multiple Excel workbooks.

Searching for data across multiple Excel workbooks can be efficiently accomplished through various methods. One approach is to utilize Power Query, an Excel feature that enables users to consolidate and transform data from different sources. To search for specific data across multiple sheets within Excel workbooks, one can employ the ‘Get Data’ function in Power Query to import data from various workbooks into a single query. By specifying criteria, users can filter and extract the desired information seamlessly. Additionally, pulling data from multiple Excel workbooks based on specific criteria can be achieved by setting up connections to each workbook in Power Query and then applying filtering conditions to retrieve the relevant data. Through these techniques, users can streamline the process of searching for and extracting data from multiple Excel workbooks efficiently.

Let’s break this formula down.
