loops through sheets and Find, offset, copy and past into a summary sheet

I am attempting to create a summary sheet in a workbook that will hold several pieces of info. I can break it down into 2 parts.

1. Starting in cell A2 in the summary sheet, the names of all the sheets in the workbook get listed down the column. The following code seems to work. I have not built in any error prevention yet.
VBA Code:
Sub SummaryNames()


Dim wsheet As Worksheet

With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Summary")
    Set nextSheetNameEntry = .Range("A2")
    For Each wsheet In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
        If wsheet.Name <> "Summary" Then
            nextSheetNameEntry.Value = wsheet.Name
            Set nextSheetNameEntry = nextSheetNameEntry.Offset(1, 0)
            
            
        End If
        
  
        
    Next wsheet
    
    
    
End With

End Sub

2. As I loop through each of the sheets, I want to find a known word that will be in a single cell somewhere in each sheet. after finding the word, I want to offset to the right 3 cells, copy the cell contents and then paste as a value only into the summary page. To match with the sheet naming in part 1, I will start the pasting in cell B2 of the summary page. Here is the latest code that I have cobbled together and get errors with.
Code:
Sub SummaryFigures5()
    
    
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Summary")
    Set TotalHouseEntry = .Range("B2")
 

    'set this variable based on what is found: (note we remove the 'activate' here
    Set TotalHouseEntry = Cells.Find(What:="Houses", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:= _
        xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:= _
        xlNext, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)

    'You can copy now and do whatever you want. Say you want to copy these values to Sheet2!A1 and B1, respectively:
    Set TotalHouseEntry.Value = TotalHouseEntry.Offset(0, 3).Value
    
    Sheets("Summary").Select
    Range("B2").Select
    
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
    
    
    Set TotalHouseEntry = TotalHouseEntry.Offset(1, 0)
    
    
   
    
End With
    
  Next wsheet  

End Sub

This throws up error " Run-Time Error 91. Object variable or With block variable not set"

Also this code doesn't work. I have attempted it to loop through all the sheets but it fails after the first.

Code:
Sub Try4()
Dim fCell As Range
Dim wsheet As Worksheet


With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Summary")

For Each wsheet In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
Set fCell = Cells.Find(What:="Total No of Houses in", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlPart)

If Not fCell Is Nothing Then
  
  fCell.Offset(0, 3).Copy
  
  Sheets("Summary").Select
    Range("B2").Select
    
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
    
    
  

  
End If

Next wsheet

End With

End Sub

I realise my code is terrible but I would really like to find a solution. I have many of these types of spreadsheets and would like to pull several cells of data out of them. If I can get the loop working and error proof, I can use it for a template to add other cells of data into the summary.

Any ideas?

  Dim sh As Worksheet, shsum As Worksheet
  Dim f As Range
  Dim i As Long
  
  Set shsum = Sheets("Summary")
  i = 2
  For Each sh In Sheets
    If sh.Name <> shsum.Name Then
      shsum.Range("A" & i).Value = sh.Name
      Set f = sh.Cells.Find("Houses", , xlValues, xlPart, , , False)
      If Not f Is Nothing Then
        shsum.Range("B" & i).Value = f.Offset(0, 3).Value
      End If
      i = i + 1
    End If
  Next

Solution
Try this:

DanteAmor,​


thank you for such succinct code that I can use but also learn from. Am I correct that here:

VBA Code:
      shsum.Range("A" & i).Value = sh.Name

the code is checking for a worksheet name in column A (created with my sub "SummaryNames") and matching that to the worksheet that the the data will be pulled from as a double check?

I added Sub loops_through_sheets_get_values into Sub SummaryNames and it works well. Thank you for your guidance.
VBA Code:
Sub SummaryNames()


Dim wsheet As Worksheet

With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Summary")
    Set nextSheetNameEntry = .Range("A2")
    For Each wsheet In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
        If wsheet.Name <> "Summary" Then
            nextSheetNameEntry.Value = wsheet.Name
            Set nextSheetNameEntry = nextSheetNameEntry.Offset(1, 0)
            
            
        End If
        
  [B]loops_through_sheets_get_values[/B]
        
    Next wsheet
    
    
    
End With

End Sub

No, my macro does not consider the names you have in the summary sheet at all.
In fact, I skipped that part because it is not necessary.
My macro reads all the sheets and writes the names and values, both at the same time.

Thanks, I did see that when I looked deeper. (And I do often need to look more intently). I see what is happening. But thanks again.
