Referring to multiple worksheets via a variable

G

Guest

I have a workbook that imports a number of text files from a website, each
file onto a different worksheet, starting at worksheet 4. Then I need it to
do a "text to columns" on cells A9-A11. Then I need the results of B9-11
stored in Cx-Ex, where x is the worksheet number. It should look *SOMETHING*
like this (please help me with the commands and my errors, my comments using
the ' (single quote, I believe that is the "ignore" sign in VB, right?):





x=4
Do until x=41 '(if the last worksheet is 40, correct?)

Sub Breakup() '(this is the code to do it on the current worksheet, again
I need to do this on multiple worksheets)

Range("A8").Select
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("A8"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False,
Tab:=True, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=True, OtherChar _
:=":", FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 1), Array(2, 1)),
TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
Range("A9").Select
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("A9"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False,
Tab:=True, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=True, OtherChar _
:=":", FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 1), Array(2, 1)),
TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
Range("A10").Select
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("A10"),
DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False,
Tab:=True, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=True, OtherChar _

Range("A11").Select

Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=True, OtherChar _
:=":", FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 1), Array(2, 1)),
TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
End Sub

If $B8 = 1 (if the value in B8 on that worksheet is 1)
Then '(this is I believe the code to get the values from Cells B9-11 on
worksheet4 and place them in cells C4-E4 on worksheet1)
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("C4").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=Sheet4!R[5]C[-1]" 'I need something similar
to Sheet(x)!R[5]C[-1]" ??
Range("D4").Select

Range("D5").Select

Else

x=x+1
Loop




Again, thanks to all who can help. Feel free to email me at

this outside the forum (I may have more questions).

There is a lot that's confused here. But I have some comments in-line,
starting with ***. Actually, I think the whole thing should be
reconsidered.

Hope it helps,
Dom


x=4

*** yes, that's correct. But you are placing "x=x+1" in the wrong
place.

*** I don't like the SUB statement, and I'm not really sure it is still
used! Just write a true subroutine called "Breakup", and call it with
the line "Call Breakup ()". That keeps your code cleaner, too.

*** Be carefull here. It looks like you are taking cell A8 and parsing
it to cells on the right. This will overwrite the information in cells
A9, A10, etc.

*** This is what you want:

Sub BreakupAll()
Dim i As Integer
Dim mySht As Worksheet

For Each mySht In Worksheets
If mySht.Name Like "Sheet*" Then
If Not IsError(CInt(Mid(mySht.Name, 6, 3))) Then
myIndex = CInt(Mid(mySht.Name, 6, 3))
If myIndex > 3 Then

mySht.Range("A8:A11").TextToColumns _
Destination:=mySht.Range("A8"), _
DataType:=xlDelimited, _

For i = 3 To 5
