Hey!

Trying to run a script in ThisWorkbook Object that auto zooms to the range selection when a new sheet is selected. I often use two screens and want any sheet I use to automatically zoom into the selection when I switch to it regardless of what screen size i'm using.

This is what I have so far. It currently just resizes the active sheet after I run the macro.

VBA Code:
Sub Worksheet_Zoom()
Dim ws As Worksheet

For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.workSheets
    Range("B1:AD26").Select
    ActiveWindow.Zoom = True
    Range("A1").Select
    
    Next ws
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
If you need to zoom on every sheet this could be a solution. Whenever you move to a different sheet the zoom will be activated and deactivated in the previous sheet. These macros must be pasted in the ThisWorkBook module.
VBA Code:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Sh.Range("B1:AD80").Select
    ActiveWindow.Zoom = True
    Range("A1").Select
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_SheetDeActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    ActiveWindow.Zoom = False
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Thankyou! Worked great. Initially when I was returning to a screen that had been zoomed in the display and the cell I clicked mismatched, but I opened the workbook again it seemed to be working fine.
