Delete fist column from all sheet except current sheet in excel - excel

I want to delete the first column(A:A) in each sheet except in the first or the current sheet. Can somebody help me.
I used the following code which deletes first column from each sheet.
Sub deletefirstcolum()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Sheets
ws.Cells(1, 1).EntireColumn.Delete
Next ws
End Sub
Please help. How do I exclude first or current sheet.

Put an If condition on the worksheet:
Sub deletefirstcolum()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Sheets
If Not ws Is ActiveSheet Then
ws.Cells(1, 1).EntireColumn.Delete
End If
Next ws
End Sub

Test whether ws = to the active sheet:
Sub deletefirstcolum()
Dim aWs As Worksheet
Set aWs = ActiveSheet
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Sheets
If aWs.Name <> ws.Name Then
ws.Cells(1, 1).EntireColumn.Delete
End If
Next ws
End Sub

AutoFit all active rows / columns in a workbook

I want to create a macro autofit all rows and columns with values in them in across all worksheets in a workbook. This is what I have so far, I am stuck. Thank you in advance.
Sub AutoFitColumnsRows()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim starting_ws As Worksheet
Set starting_ws = ActiveSheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Activate
Cells.EntireRow.AutoFit
Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
Next
starting_ws.Activate
End Sub
I am not sure why you need the other variables you have defined, but the basic loop looks like this:
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Cells.EntireRow.AutoFit
ws.Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
Next

VBA clear content in cell range, except for sheet 1

How should write the code so that it skips sheet1?
Sub Clear_All()
Dim Ws As Worksheet
For Each Ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
Ws.Range("A11:F800").ClearContents
Next Ws
End Sub
The standard way would be something like
For Each Ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If Ws.Name <> "Sheet1" Then Ws.Range("A11:F800").ClearContents
Next Ws
but, if Sheet1 were already the left-most tab in the workbook then you could do so more simply
Dim i as Long
For i = 2 to Worksheets.Count
Worksheets(i).Range("A11:F800").ClearContents
Next i

How do I loop through all sheets and rename based on the active sheet cell value?

I am trying to write a macro that will look through all sheets in the workbook, and if a sheet name contains "blank", to rename that sheet with the value in cell C1.
Here is what I have so far:
Sub Rename()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim sheetBlank As Worksheet
Set sheetBlank = ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
Dim nameCell As Range
Set nameCell = ActiveSheet.Range("C1")
For Each ws In Sheets
If sheetBlank.Name Like "*blank*" Then
sheetBlank.Name = nameCell.Value
End If
Next ws
End Sub
Now, this does rename the first active sheet, but it is not making any changes to the rest of them. What am I doing wrong?
You're referring to the wrong worksheet:
Sub Rename()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.Name Like "*blank*" Then
ws.Name = ws.Range("C1").Value
End If
Next ws
End Sub
You set your objects outside the loop and never touch them again.
If you're going to use "ActiveSheet" you need to .Activate each sheet in order to work, but that's not a good approach since your iterator (ws) represents the sheet object.
Public Sub Rename()
Dim Ws As Worksheet
For Each Ws In Worksheets
If InStr(1, Ws.Name, "blank", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then _
Ws.Name = Ws.Range("C1").Value2
Next Ws
End Sub

Copy all rows from each sheet

I need help with the code. I want to merge all rows from few sheets except header in one sheet in Excel.
Here is the code:
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim sh As Worksheet
Set sh = Sheets("P&L_consolidation")
For Each ws In Sheets
If ws.Name <> "Zero's" Then
ws.Range("A2", ws.Range("U"& Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Copy sh.Range("A"& Rows.Count).ENd(xlUp)(2)
End if
Next ws
This code works if the sheet has some data in it, but the problem is if some sheet contains only header then this code copy that header and paste it to the merged sheet. In that case I just want to skip that sheet.
Please, can somebody help me?
Something like this should work for you:
Sub tgr()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim wsDest As Worksheet
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Set wsDest = wb.Worksheets("P&L_consolidation")
For Each ws In wb.Worksheets
If ws.Name <> "Zero's" Then
With ws.Range("A2", ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "U").End(xlUp))
If .Row >= 2 Then .Copy wsDest.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1)
End With
End If
Next ws
End Sub

Copy a column from one sheet to multiple sheets based on sheetname

I am trying to copy column A from one sheet "OPT1"
to the same column in multiple sheets - "OPT1_1", OPT1_2" etc
but it doesn't seem to like the range?
Sub Copy_MN()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Worksheets
Sheets("OPT1").Select
Range("A:A").Copy
If ws.Name Like "OPT1_*" Then
'ActiveSheet.Select
ws.Range("A:A").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If
Next ws
End Sub
Here's my proposition:
Sub Copy_MN()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Worksheets
If ws.name Like "OPT1_*" Then
ws.Range("A:A").Value = Sheets("OPT1").Range("A:A").Value
End If
Next ws
End Sub
