Macro to repeat the same tasks over 180 tabs.

Hello all,

I have a spreadsheet with about 180 tabs. I've done a Macro to complete a
few tasks on the 1st Tab. I now need to complete those tasks on most of the
remaining tabs. Is there a way to do this without copying the same Macro
and then changing the tab name? There are about 5 tabs that I don't want to
Macro to run on, so ideally, the Macro will ignore those. If that can't be
done, I can move them to another spreadsheet.


Thank you for your help,

Art.
 
You could loop through the worksheets with something like:

Option Explicit
Sub DoThemAll()

dim Wks as worksheet

for each wks in activeworkbook.worksheets
with wks
select case lcase(.name)
case is = "sheet1", "sheet99", "another sheet"
'do nothing
case else
'in case you just used the activesheet in your existing code
.select
call YourExistingMacroNameHere
end select
end with
next wks

end sub

Try it against a copy of your workbook--just in case. (Or don't save it if it
screws up!)

Got it:


I found the following solution at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=213621



Sub WorksheetLoop()

Dim WS_Count As Integer
Dim I As Integer

' Set WS_Count equal to the number of worksheets in the active
' workbook.
WS_Count = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count

' Begin the loop.
For I = 1 To WS_Count

' Insert your code here.
' The following line shows how to reference a sheet within
' the loop by displaying the worksheet name in a dialog box.
MsgBox ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(I).Name

Next I

End Sub


Thanks,

Art.

Turns out I was wrong. The code above looked like it was doing what I
wanted, but it only ran the code on the active tab.

I'll give Dave Peterson's solution a try.

If your code works on the activesheet, you can add a line after this:

For I = 1 To WS_Count
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(I).select
...rest of code here.

But you'd still want to avoid the worksheets that you want to, er, avoid.
