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

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

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

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

Get the sheet name in a column when workbook contain about 50 worksheets

I have a workbook contain about 50 worksheets (sheet 1, sheet 2, sheet 3,........, sheet 50). I want to get the sheet name as a column infront of my data in each sheet. I used following code for that.
Sub tgr1()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim wsDest As Worksheet
Set wsDest = Sheets("Sheet1")
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
If ws.Name <> wsDest.Name Then
ws.Range("A:A").Insert Shift:=xlToRight
'Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight
ws.Range("A12").FormulaR1C1 = _
"=IF(RC[1]>0,MID(CELL(""filename"",R[-11]C[1]),FIND(""]"",CELL(""filename"",R[-11]C[1]))+1,255),"""")"
ws.Range("A12").Copy
ws.Range("A13:A500").PasteSpecial xlPasteFormulas
ws.Range("A12:A500").Copy
ws.Range("A12:A500").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End If
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Next ws
But this code isn't working for all the sheets i have. it applies to random sheets. What should i do to make it apply for all the sheets.
1. Change ActiveWorkbook to ThisWorkbook
2. To get the worksheet name all you need is ws.Range("A12").Value = Ws.Name
3. No point saving the workbook each time the loop runs. Do it outside the loop.
Is this what you are trying?
Option Explicit
Sub Sample()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim wsDest As Worksheet
Set wsDest = Sheets("Sheet1")
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
If ws.Name <> wsDest.Name Then
ws.Columns(1).Insert Shift:=xlToRight
ws.Range("A12:A500").Value = ws.Name
End If
Next ws
ThisWorkbook.Save
DoEvents
End Sub

Copy and Paste a set range in the next empty row_LOOP

I am new to macro and I am struggling with creating macro that will allow me to copy and paste the same range of cells from all sheets in worksheet and paste them in the first sheet in the next available cell. I know that is has to be done with the combination of loop and lastrow. Unfortunately, all my attempts fail
This is the macro that I would like to run through all sheet, but the sheets name is different
Sub Macro10()
'
' Macro10 Macro
'
'
Sheets("1449GW.WLWaterLevel.0sec").Select
Range("H1:Y2").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End Sub
Try this. Two versions as not sure what you're asking.
If you are copying the same range from a single sheet to multiple sheets
Sub Macro10()
Dim ws As Worksheet, ws1 As Worksheet
Set ws1 = Worksheets("1449GW.WLWaterLevel.0sec")
For Each ws In Worksheets
If ws.Name <> ws1.Name Then
ws1.Range("H1:Y2").Copy ws.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)(2)
End If
Next ws
End Sub
If you are copying the same range from multiple sheets to a single sheet
Sub Macro10()
Dim ws As Worksheet, ws1 As Worksheet
Set ws1 = Worksheets("Sheet1")
For Each ws In Worksheets
If ws.Name <> ws1.Name Then
ws.Range("H1:Y2").Copy ws1.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)(2)
End If
Next ws
End Sub

Delete fist column from all sheet except current sheet in 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
