“The visionary starts with a clean sheet of paper, and re-imagines the world” – Malcolm Gladwell This post provides a complete guide to using the Excel VBA Worksheet in Excel VBA. If you want to know how to do something quickly then check out the below. If you are new to VBA then this post is a great place to start. I like to break things down into simple terms and explain them in plain English without the jargon. You can read through the post from start to finish as it is written in a logical order. If you prefer, you can use the table of contents below and go directly to the topic of your choice.
Contents. A Quick Guide to the VBA Worksheet The following table gives a quick run down to the different worksheet methods. Note: I use Worksheets in the table below without specifying the workbook i.e. Worksheets rather than ThisWorkbook.Worksheets, wk.Worksheets etc. This is to make the examples clear and easy to read. You should always specify the workbook when using Worksheets. Otherwise the active workbook will be used by default.
Excel allows you to define macros that are executed whenever certain well-defined events occur in the Excel environment. One of those events is when a worksheet is activated. For instance, you could create a macro that defined a custom menu structure whenever a particular worksheet is displayed. Running a Macro when a Worksheet is Activated. In order to create a macro that runs when a worksheet is activated, follow these steps: Display the VBA Editor by pressing Alt+F11. In the Project window, at the left side of the Editor, double-click on the name of the worksheet that you want to affect.

Thanks for that Paul. In the time between my query and your answer I did find a way except a bit longer than what you have suggested. This is what I found For Each oCell In Range(“B11:M32”) Select Case oCell.Value Case Is = “A”, “B”, “C”: oCell.Value = 2 Case Is = “D”, “E”, “F”: oCell.Value = 3 Case Is = “G”, “H”, “I”: oCell.Value = 4 Case Is = “J”, “K”, “L”: oCell.Value = 5 Case Is = “M”, “N”, “O”: oCell.Value = 6 Case Is = “P”, “Q”, “R”, “S”: oCell.Value = 7 Case Is = “T”, “U”, “V”: oCell.Value = 8 Case Is = “W”, “X”, “Y”, “Z”: oCell.Value = 9 End Select Next Anyway thanks again. Much appreciated. Hi Paul, You stated that codenames can only be used in “Thisworkbook”, but in my testing the module that I’m running writes to two workbooks that I have opened at the same if the other workbook is active. Here’s what I did. I declared a public codename in workbook1 and set it in ThisWorkbook object using AutoOpen.
(I’ve tested setting it in a module as well and I get the same results) The module which contains my code starts with “With ThisWorkbook” before calling the public variable. As a test, I renamed a sheet from each workbook with the same codename.
I would expect that my code would only run in workbook1 as the public variable is written, set and called in workbook1; on top of that I declared “With Thisworkbook” at the start of my module. Do you know how I can prevent the module from running in the wrong workbook? I know I can simply rename the codename in workbook1 to something highly unlikely, but for theoretical purposes I’d like not to do that. Thanks, Chris.
