Another question professional excel development chapter 5

In the part of the program where (see below) For Each rngSheet In
rngSheetList and For Each rngName In rngNameList how does the program know to
cycle through each cell in the column and the rows respectively?

I should add that in the named range
tblRangeNames
RefersTo

=OFFSET(wksUISettings!$A$1,0,1,1,COUNTA(wksUISettings!$1:$1)-1)

tblSheetNames
RefersTo

=OFFSET(wksUISettings!$A$1,1,0,COUNTA(wksUISettings!$A:$A)-1,1)

Another question professional excel development chapter 5

In the part of the program where (see below) For Each rngSheet In
rngSheetList and For Each rngName In rngNameList how does the program know to
cycle through each cell in the column and the rows respectively?

The For statement set the parameters for the loop. One loop is looking for
sheets and the other is looking for names. The Next command will sent the
interrogater back to the beginning of the loop until that paticular For
criteria has been exhausted.
Therefor, the inner loop will complete a full range of execution before
going to the next step of the outer loop. Whet the outer loop has exhausted
its range or criteria, the code execution move to the next line outside the
loops. See exmpl below

For Each c In MyRange 'Begins outside loop
For Each i In yourRange 'Begins inside loop
If something = something else Then
Do Things
End If
Next i 'recycles until yourRange has been exhausted
Next c 'recycles after each For Each i loop is completed until MyRange is
exhausted
Exit Sub 'Executes after both loops are completed.

A little further explanation:

Your named ranges, rngSheetList and rngNameList are defined ranges, so the
code will automaticall start at the top left cell, across and down in the
applicable range to look for the criteria that you define between the For
Each... and Next.

If your range is a single column, then it searches downward one cell at a
time. If your range is a row then it searches left to right one cell at a
time. This search pattern is built in to the For Each...Next loop function
and cannot be altered.

Thank you that explains it for me
