Array and range logic

[YounesB3]

Hi, I've always wondered why this kind of codes doesn't work:

Worksheets("Titles").Rows("1:1").Copy Worksheets(Array("V1", "V2").Rows(1)).Insert Shift:=xlDown

Any help is appreciated.

Worksheets("V1") will return a Worksheet object. However, Worksheets(Array("V1", "V2")) returns a Worksheets collections object.

Worksheet object allows you to access and update its properties as well as access its member objects, like Range.

Worksheets collection allows you to perform sheet level operations since it is a collection of worksheets. That is kind of like any Collections object, like a list or set or queue. As with collection objects, you have to first access the object in it, then access its member methods/properties.

Thanks for the reply! Would you have an example?

I know this would work and would probably be the simplest way since it's only two sheets in this case:

Worksheets("Titles").Rows("1:1").Copy Worksheets("V1").Rows(1).Insert Shift:=xlDown
Worksheets("Titles").Rows("1:1").Copy Worksheets("V2").Rows(1).Insert Shift:=xlDown

But what would it look like with an array?

You need to use a loop.

Private Sub ShiftRowsInSheets(aSheetNames As Variant)
    Dim sheetName As Variant
    Dim oSheet As Worksheet
    
    For Each sheetName In aSheetNames
        Worksheets("Titles").Rows("1:1").Copy
        Worksheets(sheetName).Rows(1).Insert Shift:=xlDown
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Next
End Sub



Private Sub TestSub()
    ShiftRowsInSheets Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2")
End Sub

        Worksheets("Titles").Rows("1:1").Copy
        Worksheets(sheetName).Rows(1).Insert Shift:=xlDown
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Next
End Sub



Private Sub TestSub()
    ShiftRowsInSheets Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2")
End Sub

Oh I see, I thought there would be a more efficient way. Thanks!
