To clarify. I have 1 spreadsheet I am creating the VBA in. When the Macro runs, I want the code to find a specific value in a separate WorkBook sheet and return the location of the value in the other WorkBook.

My initial thought was to use HLookUp, however that will only return the value, not the location of the value. My next thought was to use the Find function, but I can’t get it to run. The error I get is: Run-time error “438′: Object doesn’t support this property or method

startValue = enrollBook.Sheets("Pop-FY").Range("D:Z"). _
Applications.WorksheetFunction. _
Find(What:=FYString, LookIn:=xlValues)

enrollBook is the other workbook.
startValue is supposed to be the location of the found value in the other spreadsheet

    This is a weird way of calling a function & formatting you’ve got there, I first even thought that code was invalid.

    First, you are confusing Range.Find with Application.WorksheetFunction.Find. You need the Range one, but are calling the other one.
    Second, the error is because it’s Application, not Applications.
    Third, you will need a Set:

    Set startValue = enrollBook.Sheets("Pop-FY").Range("D:Z").Find(What:=FYString, LookIn:=xlValues)
