Select Table and set WrapText to True

[Raddle]

Hi

Can anyone help with how to select all tables in a workbook and apply wraptext ?
I am guessing that wrap text is a cell property not a table property because when I add a like like tbl.wraptext=true it errors.

However who do I 'select' the table range and then apply this?

Hints very welcome.

Sub Acnt_FormatTableStyle() 'format the table
Dim tbl As ListObject
Dim ws As Worksheet

For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets

For Each tbl In ws.ListObjects
Debug.Print tbl.name

tbl.TableStyle = "TableStyleMedium9"
tbl.ShowAutoFilterDropDown = False
Next tbl

Next ws
End Sub

Try

tbl.Range.WrapText = True

This will wrap text in everything--headers, data, and totals.

P.S. Don't Select the table.

...doh!

It only needed

ActiveSheet.ListObjects(1).Range.Select

With Selection ' I had previously had '.interior' here which was stopping it from acting on the cells (I guess)


.Pattern = xlNone
.TintAndShade = 0
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
.ShowAutoFilterDropDown = False
.WrapText = True

End With

Selecting things to operate on them works, but it has a few drawbacks. It is almost always better to directly operate on the object, rather than Select it and operate on Selection.
