How can I set the same variant to multiple sheets?

if I have code such as this..

Code: 
Dim es As Worksheet, etd As Worksheet
Set es = Worksheets("Master Employee List")
Set etd = Worksheets("Jan Week 1")

You can see "es" & "etd" are being declared, and set to Jan Week 1 worksheet.

How can I write this to accept for example where I have quite a few more sheets to add.

Code: 
Set etd = Worksheets("Jan Week 1"),("Jan Week 2"),("Jan Week 3"),("Jan Week 4")

I have like 50+ sheets I'd like to assign this way. Do I need to set these as an array or is there perhaps an easier way to do it?

"etd" would be the same across all sheets, so I'm trying to learn a bit on how to use the same variant across all the sheets I'm looking for.

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Sort by date Sort by votes
You can do it like this using an array
Code: 
Dim etd() As Worksheet, sht As Worksheet, i As Long
ReDim etd(Worksheets.Count)
For Each sht In Worksheets
   Set etd(i) = sht
   i = i + 1
Next sht

MsgBox etd(0).name

Firstly, thank you for the reply. I must ask though, how does this reference only the weeks I would like? Like Jan Week 1, Jan Week 2, Jan Week 3, Jan Week 4, Feb Week 1, etc, etc..

I have like 200 sheets, and only 50 I need to reference, not every sheet in the workbook. I know I need to declare what's in the array, but my lack of experience isn't allowing my brain to type it right.. lol

Hi,

Try

Code: 
Dim es As Worksheet, etd() As Worksheet
Dim i As Integer, a As Integer


Set es = Worksheets("Master Employee List")


ReDim etd(1 To Worksheets.Count)
For i = 1 To Worksheets.Count
    If Worksheets(i).Name Like "*Week*" Then
        a = a + 1
        Set etd(a) = Worksheets(i)
    End If
Next i


'resize array
ReDim Preserve etd(1 To a)


'example use
For i = 1 To UBound(etd)
    MsgBox etd(i).Name
Next i

I tried this.. However I'm only getting it on ONE of my test pages.. Here's my full code. Your help in red. I Have (2) sheets I'm working with for testing. "Jan Week 1" and "Jan Week 2" and this data is only going in Jan Week 2 for some reason.. I didn't get any errors though! haha. I also provided my original code before I started to tie in multiple sheets on the bottom.

Code: 
Sub Delete_employee()On Error Resume Next
Set myRange = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Please click on the Employee you want to remove", _
Title:="Click on employee", Type:=8)
r1 = myRange.Row
c1 = myRange.Column
If myRange Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
emp = Cells(r1, c1).Value


x = InputBox("This action CANNOT be undone! Type YES to delete  - " & emp)
If UCase(x) <> "YES" Then
    MsgBox "Employee NOT deleted"
    Exit Sub
End If

End Sub
Sub Fill_it()


Dim es As Worksheet, Ws As Worksheet
Set es = Worksheets("Master Employee List")
Set Ws = Worksheets("Employee List")


wr = 2
For C = 3 To 28 Step 5

Original Code. (Where I'm trying to reference multiple sheets... This code works flawlessly to do my changes to "Jan Week 1")

Code: 
Sub Delete_employee()On Error Resume Next
Set myRange = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Please click on the Employee you want to remove", _
Title:="Click on employee", Type:=8)
r1 = myRange.Row
c1 = myRange.Column
If myRange Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
emp = Cells(r1, c1).Value


x = InputBox("This action CANNOT be undone! Type YES to delete  - " & emp)
If UCase(x) <> "YES" Then
    MsgBox "Employee NOT deleted"
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim es As Worksheet, etd As Worksheet
Set es = Worksheets("Master Employee List")
Set etd = Worksheets("Jan Week 1")


r = Application.Match(emp, es.Range("A:A"), 0)
es.Rows(r).Cut
es.Rows(Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(37).Row).Insert
es.Rows(Range("D37").Row).ClearContents


m = Application.Match(emp, etd.Range("D:D"), 0)
etd.Rows(m).Cut
etd.Rows(Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(43).Row).Insert
etd.Rows(Range("D43").Row).ClearContents




MsgBox emp & (" Was Deleted Succesfully")


Call Fill_it


End Sub
Sub Add_employee()


Dim es As Worksheet, eta As Worksheet
Set es = Worksheets("Master Employee List")
Set eta = Worksheets("Jan Week 1")


lr = es.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1
lrp = eta.Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
'lrp = eta.Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row
es.Cells(lr, "A") = InputBox("Enter employee Name (First Then Last)")
eta.Cells(lrp, "D") = InputBox("Please Re-enter the employee name (First Then Last)")


Call Fill_it


End Sub
Sub Fill_it()


Dim es As Worksheet, Ws As Worksheet
Set es = Worksheets("Master Employee List")
Set Ws = Worksheets("Employee List")


wr = 2
For C = 3 To 28 Step 5
For r = 8 To 33 Step 5
Ws.Cells(r, C) = es.Cells(wr, "A")
wr = wr + 1
Next r
Next C


End Sub

You need to loop through the array like
Code: 
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To UBound(etd)
   m = Application.Match(emp, etd(i).Range("D:D"), 0)
   etd(i).Rows(m).Cut
   etd(i).Rows(Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(43).Row).Insert
   etd(i).Rows(Range("D43").Row).ClearContents
Next i

I apologize, but I'm a little confused here.. I tried this yesterday for about an hour, and wasn't able to get it working. Would you be able to put this into my full original code? I must have done something wrong along the way, but everytime I go through it I'm having a hard time understanding where the problem is. I'm still pretty inexperienced with most of this stuff.. It's kind of a lot to take in. haha. Luckily for me though, I won't need any more code after this.. (I hope!) I have a good understanding on how it works, but the literature is still catching up to me.

I tried to get that working, but it still gave me an error.

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications
---------------------------
Compile error:


Duplicate declaration in current scope
---------------------------
OK Help
---------------------------


I tried to change Dim I as Integer to Dim O, but I still got some errors. Unfortunately for me I'm too inexperienced to track down the issue myself. I really do appreciate the help so far though. We're close! I can feel it..

Compile error:


Duplicate declaration in current scope
Click to expand...
Means that you have 2 (or more) macros with the same name in the module.
Either delete one of them, or rename one of them.
