Afternoon,

I have a file with 10 different sheets in it. I have a macro part of which
is attached below, which copies the format from a set of cells in sheet 1 and
copies them into sheet 2. I need to do this for all 10 sheets - take the
format thats in cells cells P10 to A109 from sheets 1 and copy it to sheet 2,
then sheet 3, sheet 4 etc etc. All copying is from sheet 1.

Is it possible to have one formula that will loop through the sheets without
me having to repeat the same code 10 times?

Thanks

Sheets("1").Range("P10:AA109").Copy
Sheets("2").Range("P10").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False

Next code would be (exactly the same apart from sheet ref in second line

Sheets("1").Range("P10:AA109").Copy
Sheets("3").Range("P10").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
 
Sheets("1").Range("P10:AA109").Copy
for index = 2 top 10
worksheets(index).Range("P10")
Sheets("2").Range("P10").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats,
Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Next
 
Try the below which will copy the format from the 1st sheet to n sheets

Sub Macro()
Dim ws As Worksheet, intSheet As Integer
Sheets(1).Range("P10:AA109").Copy
For intSheet = 2 To Worksheets.Count
Sheets(intSheet).Range("P10").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, _
Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Next
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

excuse typo -- new keyboard ;)

for index = 2 TO 10
worksheets(index).Range("P10").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats,
Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Next
 
Here is another way to do what you want...

Sub CopyFormats()
Dim X As Long
For X = 2 To Worksheets.Count
Worksheets(1).Range("P10:AA109").Copy Worksheets(X).Range("P10")
Worksheets(X).Range("P10:AA109").ClearContents
Next
End Sub

This code assumes your "Sheet 1" is the first sheet tab on the left. If that
is not the case, let me know and I'll adjust the code to handle it (but let
me know the exact sheet name though so I can build my code around it). Also
note that I assumed you meant AA109 when you wrote A109).
 
Sorry,

I had forgotten that I have three worksheets that I do not want to copy the
format to. I have sheets a,b,c then sheets 1,2,3. I want to copy from 1 to
2,3 etc....

Do I have to name each sheet I want or how its best to go about this?

Thanks

two replies suggest that you do NOT want to copy the format?

your question indicated that you ONLY wanted to copy the format.

If you want just formula then change XLPasteFormats to xlPasteFormulas

note, more btraodly:
you can combine also:
with Sheets("2").Range("P10")
..PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
..PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats
end with
 
If the sheets are named as a,b,c,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and you want to copy
from 1 to 2-10 then try..Adjust to suit...

Sub Macro()
Dim ws As Worksheet, intSheet As Integer
Sheets("1").Range("P10:AA109").Copy
For intSheet = 2 To 10
Sheets(Cstr(intSheet)).Range("P10").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, _
Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Next
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

Yes I want to copy only the format ONLY (specifically only the borders
actually), no formulas or anything else.

The formulas I tried, (was given by you three guys), copied it to all 10
sheets, I only want to copy it to specific sheets with the file. Do I need
therefore to provide a list of the sheet names i wish to use or how do i
limit to which sheets it copies?

Otherwise it is copying from the fourth sheet to the 11th. Sheets 12-15
shoud not be formatted.

Thanks
 
Whether you have to list the names or not depends on the *exact* naming
system you used. Are your sheets really *named* a, b, c, 1, 2, 3, etc.? If
not, tell us the *actual* names you are using. Alternately, **IF** your
sheets are in the order you have shown, namely the left three tabs are for
your a, b, c sheets, and the fourth tab is your 1 sheet, then it doesn't
matter what their names are as we can work with their position numbers
(given they are in the order I just assumed). That code would be...

Sub CopyFormats()
Dim X As Long
For X = 5 To Worksheets.Count
Worksheets(4).Range("P10:AA109").Copy Worksheets(X).Range("P10")
Worksheets(X).Range("P10:AA109").ClearContents
Next
End Sub
 
Job done.

Thanks for your help!

probably best to have a table with the sheet numbers in it
say its called table1 on ther control sheet

dim cell as range
Sheets("1").Range("P10:AA109").Copy
For Each cell in worksheets("control").Range("Table1").Cells
Worksheets(cell.Value).Range("P10").PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats
Next
