View Full Version : Select different cells in several sheets.
Good evening,
What is the correct way to do the below please.
Sub Test()
Sheets(Array("MEB", "MIB")).Range("V2").Select
Sheets(Array("MOB", "MUB")).Range("V8").Select
End Sub
Thanks in advance.
What do you want to do after that?
Thanks for the reply.
I don't want to do anything after that.
It is just a case that when the Macro runs it puts the cursor in the relevant cells in the relevant Worksheets, it is so when I go to those particular sheets the cursor is ready and in the correct position, thats all.
I thought using an array or case statements would achieve this but didn't want to select the Worksheets because that is bad coding practice.
Thanks again.

You could try
Application.Goto Sheet2.Range("C10")
Thanks for the reply mdmackillop,
That takes me to the actual sheet.
I want to be able to get the cursor into a certain cell within about a dozen different sheets within the same Workbook but without actually selecting those sheets.
I want the active sheet where the code is run from to stay the active sheet.
I don't know if this can actually be done without selecting the sheets first though.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
It is basically can I move the cursor to a particular cell in an inactive Worksheet without selecting the Worksheet first?
I have a button that when clicked runs the following...
Sub Reset()
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False: .Calculation = xlCalculationManual: .DisplayAlerts = False
End With
Columns("M:AG").EntireColumn.Delete
With Application
.DisplayAlerts = True: .Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic: .ScreenUpdating = True
End With
End Sub
This button is on several sheets within the same Workbook.
Now when I press the button and the code runs, dependant on which Worksheet I am using I would like the cursor to end up in a particular cell.
Now out of the several Worksheets I am using there are three different cells I would like the cursor to end up.
For example:
In Sheet1, Sheet3, Sheet7, I would like the cursor to end up in cell S5.
In Sheet2, Sheet4, Sheet6, I would like the cursor to end up in cell B2.
In Sheet5, Sheet8, Sheet9, I would like the cursor to end up in cell C12.
I hope this makes it clearer.
Thanks in advance.
This works but is very messy...
Sub Resetx()
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False: .Calculation = xlCalculationManual: .DisplayAlerts = False
End With
Columns("M:AG").EntireColumn.Delete
If ActiveSheet.Name = "Sheet1" Then Range("S5").Select
If ActiveSheet.Name = "Sheet2" Then Range("B2").Select
If ActiveSheet.Name = "Sheet3" Then Range("S5").Select
If ActiveSheet.Name = "Sheet4" Then Range("B2").Select
If ActiveSheet.Name = "Sheet5" Then Range("C12").Select
If ActiveSheet.Name = "Sheet6" Then Range("B2").Select
If ActiveSheet.Name = "Sheet7" Then Range("S5").Select
If ActiveSheet.Name = "Sheet8" Then Range("C12").Select
If ActiveSheet.Name = "Sheet9" Then Range("C12").Select
With Application
.DisplayAlerts = True: .Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic: .ScreenUpdating = True
End With
End Sub
I also tried using the Application.Goto so I didn't use Select but without any success.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
Or perhaps use Select Case?
Has anyone got any ideas how the code could be more compact or efficient please?
Sub M_snb()
Columns("M:AG").EntireColumn.Delete
application.goto range(choose(instr("137246589",right(activesheet.name,1))\3+1,"S5","B2","C12"))
End Sub
NB. Deleting columns is useless
Use userforms to guide the user's input: selecting cells should be redundant in well designed workbooks.
9 analogously designed sheets should be integrated into 1.
