How to Search Specific Column In Each Worksheet of Excel - excel

Question

I have an excel document with over 50 worksheets all with a similar naming convention.
As this will be so unfriendly for users to navigate to, I wrote a VBA macro which creates a worksheet called summary with the list of all the worksheets hyperlinked in a tabular form with Sheet A B and C as the Column and Sheet 1 and 2 as rows.
Now I am trying to go through each row of a specific column in Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 and look for any reference to SheetB, SheetC and SheetD and for each reference found and I want to mark that creating a matrix.
I am not sure how to achieve this. Any assistance will be much appreciated.
I have managed to search Sheet 1 and 2 for any reference to SheetB as shown below but I am not sure how to update the corresponding cell in my summary sheet.
Function findWord(word As String, wSheet As String) As Boolean
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim i As Long
LastRow = Worksheets(wSheet).Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row
For i = LastRow To 1 Step -1
If Worksheets(wSheet).Range("D" & i).Value = word Then
findWord = True
Exit Function
End If
Next i
End Function
For Each wsSheet In wbBook.Worksheets
If (wsSheet.Name <> wsActive.Name) And (Left(wsSheet.Name, 4) <> "fact") Then
For i = 2 To lastColumn
MsgBox wsSheet.Name
If findWord(columnNames(counter2), wsSheet.Name) Then
'Update summary sheet
End If
counter = counter2 + 1
Next i
End If
Next wsSheet

If the result in "Summary sheet" you are looking for is similar to this :
Then you can use something like this (read the comments inside the code for explanations)
Sub MarkReferencesToSheets()
Dim wsSummary As Worksheet 'sheet with summary table matrix
Dim wsSheetRow As Worksheet 'sheets in which we will search references to other sheets
Dim strSheetColumnName As String 'name of the reference we are looking for
Dim intSheetRow As Integer 'for loop purposes
Dim intSheetColumn As Integer 'for loop purposes
Set wsSummary = Sheets("Summary")
For intSheetRow = 2 To 3 'change to suit; headers for rows in summary sheet
Set wsSheetRow = Worksheets(wsSummary.Cells(intSheetRow, 1).Value)
For intSheetColumn = 2 To 4 'change to suit; headers for columns in summary sheet
strSheetColumnName = wsSummary.Cells(1, intSheetColumn) 'name of sheet we are looking for
If Not wsSheetRow.Columns(4).Find(strSheetColumnName) Is Nothing Then 'look only in column "D", or 4
wsSummary.Cells(intSheetRow, intSheetColumn) = "X" ' if we found it, mark it
Else
'if you want something else in the cell when reference is not found, put it here
End If
Next intSheetColumn
Next intSheetRow
End Sub
