I am having an issue copying and pasting a drop-down data validation menu from one sheet into all selected sheets. The drop-down menu seems to paste randomly instead of pasting into sheet "B22" of the selected sheets.
Sub TEST()
Dim sht As Worksheet
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B22").Copy
'Sheets selection should be done before running macro
Selection.Range("B22").PasteSpecial xlPasteValidation
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
Any suggestions on how to tackle this? I am having some difficulty finding the error in my code.
In case you want to work with the workbook and avoid using copy/paste..
Option Explicit
Sub Test()
Dim excel_sheet As Worksheet
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim drop_down_value As Range
Set sht = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2")
Set drop_down_value = sht.Range("B22")
'Sheets selection should be done before running macro
For Each excel_sheet In ThisWorkbook.Windows(1).SelectedSheets
excel_sheet.Range("B22").Value = drop_down_value.Value
Next
End Sub
Try the following, you need to loop through all selected Sheets instead of using Selection.Range:
Sub TEST()
Dim sht As Worksheet
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B22").Copy
'Sheets selection should be done before running macro
For Each sht In ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets
sht.Range("B22").PasteSpecial xlPasteValidation
Application.CutCopyMode = True
Next
End Sub

I have this working thus far for the datasource sheet. But on another sheet called WatchList I want to update the sort order for 1 of the columns which does a look up when the data source updates. I tried several items and cant get it working.
As far as my range it starts at at the top of the sheet WatchList and goes to column L. And the sort I want to do is on column H.
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Sheet As Worksheet, Pivot As PivotTable
For Each Sheet In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
For Each Pivot In Sheet.PivotTables
Pivot.RefreshTable
Pivot.Update
Next
Next
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = wb.Sheets("WatchList")
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Sheet2.Range("A2:L69")
ws.Range(rng).Sort Key1:=Range("H2:H69"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
End Sub
I am getting run-time error '1004';
Method 'Range' of object'_Worksheet' failed
Any help is much appreciated
I am creating a spreadsheet to record unit finances. The spreadsheet I am using as a template/demo for mine has a hidden worksheet that I'm trying to view.
I have googled, and tried what has been suggested, including VBA.
What can I do to see this worksheet? (I would upload the file, but I don't know how)
For a specific sheet:
Worksheets("MySheet").Visible = xlSheetVisible
Make all sheets in the workbook visible:
Sub MakeAllSheetsVisible()
Dim sht As Worksheet
For Each sht In Worksheets
If Not sht.Visible Then
sht.Visible = xlSheetVisible
End If
Next sht
End Sub
I have many sheets in a workbook. I have a main sheet/"form" called "JE" and on that sheet there are buttons and macros that lead to other sheets in the workbook. But, the intention is for other users, not myself, to use the workbook. So, I would only like the sheet that is being used to be visible at any given time. At no time do I want more than 1 sheet to be visible by the user. The user can navigate the workbook mainly thru clicking buttons and certain cells in select sheets that will allow them to navigate throughout the entire workbook. I have tried this by adding code into 'ThisWorkbook' module but it doesn't seem to working as I'd like. When I navigate to one sheet and back to another, some sheets remain visible when I'd like them to be hidden so I'm unsure of what other modifications I can make to code below to get my desired result. If anyone can offer up any modifications or changes I can make to accomplish this, I'd really appreciate it.
UPDATE:
I have added this code to my 'ThisWorkbook' Object:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Dim MySh As Worksheet
For Each MySh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If MySh.Name <> Sh.Name Then MySh.Visible = 0
Next MySh
End Sub
but, when I go to double-click values that usually populate cells in my main sheet ("JE") I get a run-time 1004 error. The values still populate the main sheet but it no longer navigates back to the main sheet as I'd like.
If anyone knows of a solution or a mod I can make, I'd really appreciate it.
The code is nice. Simply put it in the Workbook part of the VBA project:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim MySh As Worksheet
For Each MySh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If MySh.Name = ActiveSheet.Name Then MySh.Visible = xlSheetHidden
Next MySh
End Sub
The ThisWorkbook part is here:
In general, I use always something similar, when I am starting an Excel application. I define two Arrays with Visible and Invisible Worksheets and I iterate over them, making them either visible or not visible. Like this:
Option Explicit
Public Sub HideNeeded()
Dim varSheet As Variant
Dim arrVisibleSheets As Variant
Dim arrHiddenSheets As Variant
arrVisibleSheets = Array(Sheet1)
arrHiddenSheets = Array(Sheet2, Sheet3)
For Each varSheet In arrVisibleSheets
varSheet.Visible = xlSheetVisible
Next varSheet
For Each varSheet In arrHiddenSheets
varSheet.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Next varSheet
End Sub
xlSheetVeryHidden makes it possible to unhide it only from the VB Editor. Otherwise you need xlSheetHidden.
It should be Workbook_SheetActivate:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Dim MySh As Worksheet
For Each MySh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If MySh.Name <> Sh.Name Then MySh.Visible = 0 'zero - false, 1 - true, 2 - very hidden
Next MySh
End Sub
Sub HideInactive()
Set theActiveSheet = ActiveSheet
For Each Sheet In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Sheet.Index <> theActiveSheet.Index Then Sheet.Visible = False
Next
End Sub
I 've test the code. Thank you for reading.
This seems like such a simple request, but I can't seem to find any answers online.
I have two open workbooks (lets say A and B). All I want to do is run a macro that I have created in Workbook B and run it (by click a shape that I've assigned a macro to) through Workbook A, but the macro running in Workbook B
The macro I created for Workbook B is...
Sub HistoricalDataShift()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Sheets
ws.Activate'
Rows("18:1000").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("A19").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Rows("15:15").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("A18").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Next ws
End Sub
Then I created a second macro in Workbook B that has...
Sub ApplicationRun()
Application.Run ("WorkbookB.xlsm!HistoricalDataShift")
End Sub
But each time I try the macro keeps running in Workbook A.
If I could get a helping hand that would be appreciated.
All you need to do is rewrite HistoricalDataShift to operate on itself. It should work just fine then.
Sub HistoricalDataShift()
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In wb.Worksheets
ws.Activate '
ws.Rows("18:1000").Select
Selection.Copy
ws.Range("A19").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
ws.Rows("15:15").Select
Selection.Copy
ws.Range("A18").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Next ws
End Sub
Also to make your code work better, you can do this:
Sub HistoricalDataShift()
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
wb.Activate
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In wb.Worksheets
Call ws.Rows("18:1000").Copy(ws.Range("A19"))
Call ws.Rows("15:15").Copy(ws.Range("A18"))
Next ws
End Sub
Try declaring your workbook object?
Dim wkbkA as workbook
set wkbkA = 'directory here
then run your code in a With... End With
With wkbkA
.range('etc.........
End With
In this short example, we assume that WorkbookB.xlsm is initially the only open workbook and hosts this macro:
Sub HistoricalDataShift()
Dim wkbB As Workbook
Dim wkbA As Workbook
Set wkbB = ThisWorkbook
Workbooks.Open Filename:="WorkbookA"
Set wkbA = ActiveWorkbook
wkbA.Sheets(1).Range("B9").Value = "whatever"
End Sub
You can use Worksheets("<worksheetname>")
e.g. Worksheets("A").Activate
or cv = Worksheets(Worksheet).Cells(DataSeriesEnd, rc_index)
where Worksheet holds the sheet name.
etc.
This snippet will go through the entire collection of worksheets, where w is the current worksheet name :-
For Each w In Worksheets
.......
Next w
I'm trying to figure out how to copy the formulae of a range of cells to all other or selected sheets.
For example, I want the Formulae of Sheet1.A9:B250 copied to all other Sheets (SheetX.A9:B250)
I tried the following but it seems pretty off
Sub CopyAll()
Dim sht As Worksheet
Sheets("Albert").Range("A9:B250").Formula.Copy
For Each sht In Worksheets
sht.Range("A9:B250").Formula.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Next
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
Is there an elegant solution to this? Thank you in advance
Why not bypass copy and paste all together?
this should do the job
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A9:B250").Formula = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A9:B250").Formula
Your code would look something like...
Sub CopyAll()
Dim sht As Worksheet
For Each sht In Worksheets
sht.Range("A9:B250").Formula = Sheets("Albert").Range("A9:B250").Formula
Next
End Sub
When working with Copy >> Paste of formula you can use the following solution:
'.....
Sheets("Albert").Range("A9:B250").Copy
'.....
sht.Range("A9:B250").PasteSpecial xlPasteFormulas
'.....
