How to delete same column in every sheet

[Guest]

Is it possible to delete the contents of every column H in the whole work
book using a command button

 

[Bob Phillips]

For each sh In Activeworkbook.Worksheets
sh.Column(8).ClearContents
Next sh

Looks like it should work but it doesnt

I created a button, viewed the code and inserted this:

Private Sub Clear_Click()
For Each sh In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
sh.Column(8).ClearContents
Next sh

End Sub

The Debug screen shows it failing on sh.Column(8).ClearContents
object doesnt support this method or property

Hi

try inserting sh.activate immediately inside the loop

Private Sub Clear_Click()
For Each sh In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
sh.activate
sh.Column(8).ClearContents
Next sh

End Sub

I had a typo, it should be


For each sh In Activeworkbook.Worksheets
sh.Columns(8).ClearContents
Next sh

Or without VBA...
Select column H
Right-click the tab of that sheet
