If a sheet name equals a cell name?

[scottandersonn]

Hello everyone

Suppose if I have a list of countries in column A in a "master" sheet, and all the other sheets are named after each country with more details contained within each sheet.

I want to create a macro which will iterate through my list of countries, refer to the sheet of that country, perform a function I already have, then move onto the next country in the list.

Is this a practice possible or very complex?

Happy to provide further examples of code or examples if need be.

Any help is greatly appreciated, Scott.

Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
Maybe something like

Sub scottandersonn()
   Dim Cl As Range
   Dim Ws As Worksheet
   
   Set Ws = Sheets("Master")
   For Each Cl In Ws.Range("A2", Ws.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      If Evaluate("isref('" & Cl.Value & "''!A1)") Then
         With Sheets(Cl.Value)
            'do somthing
         End With
      End If
   Next Cl
End Sub

this is great thanks fluff!

So now I can replace 'do something with my function (which is a for loop and an if statement), but will the Sheets(Cl.Value) be selected already or do I need to add Sheets(Cl.Value).Select

The sheet is not selected, but there is very rarely a need to select anything.
Have a look at with statements

so am I still able to nest my for loop and if statement within the with statement, and the function will work fine. I require offsetted copy and paste steps to be performed for each sheet which the function will do, I just want to make sure I can interchange back to the master sheet within the with statement if you understand. Apologies if its poorly explained

 

[Fluff]

As long as you precede the ranges with a . as shown in the link I supplied then yes.
This will copy range A1:X1 from each sheet to the master sheet on the same row as the sheet name

         With Sheets(Cl.Value)
            .Range("A1:X1").Copy Cl.Offset(, 1)
         End With

ok thats great.

now my if statement will look to satisfy two conditions. if it is satisfied in column A of the subset, then it looks to column B on the same row to see if thats also satisfied. If both are satisfied, then "Yes" will be inputted next to the country name in the master sheet, however if only the first condition was satisfied, then "No" will be inputted next to the country name in the master sheet.

So I guess my question is, is it possible to have an if statement in a with statement?

 

[Fluff]

Yes it is.

 

[scottandersonn]

just one more quick question regarding the initial code you provided.. what is the purpose of this line?

For Each Cl In Ws.Range("A2", Ws.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))

 

[scottandersonn]

sorry, wrong line of code, I meant this one

If Evaluate("isref('" & Cl.Value & "''!A1)") Then
