Hello All,
I have a sheet in a Workbook named "REV Eng 1"
I have several other tabs.
I wish to clear only REV Eng 1 sheet, however, when I run the above code, I get a mismatch error on line: For Each sht In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.
What is my syntax error?

Thanks for the help

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Change type of sht variable to refer to a single sheet - Worksheet is a single sheet, Worksheets is a collection.
Code:
Dim sht as Worksheet[COLOR=#ff0000][B]s[/B][/COLOR]

Code:
Dim sht As Worksheet
For Each sht In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets

So getting back to this, Worksheet vs Worksheets continues to be confusing for me.
If Worksheet is for a single sheet, then why in the second line of code, I use Worksheets, not Work sheet, since the code will search all Worksheets, but only work one at a time?
Seems I would use: For Each sht In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheet, not ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.

Thanks for the help

For variable declaration, you need to write Worksheet (singular) - the variable needs to refer to only one worksheet at a time in the loop.

For the loop, you need to write ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets (plural) to refer to the collection of all worksheets in the workbook. The loop then iterates over all those sheets, assigning them to variable sht one sheet in each iteration.
