Happy Pi day to you all.
Once again chasing my tail. Attempting to set an array of sheets in a workbook, find the last column (could be Column B, Z or anything in between) then from the 2nd row to last row enter the sheet's name as a value.
The last row could be likewise variable.


VBA Code:
Sub AddSourceCol()

Dim sh As Variant, i As Long, j As Long, LastCol As Long, LastRow As Long, ws As Worksheet

For Each sh In Array("Epics V#1", "Epics V#2", "Epics V#3")

    Set ws = ActiveSheet
'    Set ws = sh
    LastCol = ActiveSheet.Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Column
    LastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
      Sheets(sh).Cells(1, LastCol + 1).Value = "Source"
      Sheets(sh).Cells(2, LastCol + 1) = ws.Name <----Enters Epics V#3 for the cell in the 2nd row of the Source column in every sheet in the array

'      Sheets(sh).Range(Sheets(sh).Cells(2, LastCol + 1)).AutoFill Destination:=Sheets(sh).Range(Sheets(sh).Cells(2, LastCol + 1)): Sheets(sh).Cells (LastCol + 1 & LastRow)   <--- Runtime Error 1004
      
'     Sheets(sh).Range(Sheets(sh).Cells(2, LastCol + 1), Sheets(sh).Cells(LastRow, LastCol + 1)) = ws.Name    <----Enters Epics V#3 for the Source column in every sheet in the array
     
      
Next

MsgBox "Done!"

End Sub

I can't install MiniSheet here due to Group Policy restrictions but here's an Idea of what the data might look like:

If I understand you correctly, you want to:
1. Loop through the specified sheets.
2. Find the last column
3. Overwrite the values in the last column (excluding the header row) with the worksheet's name.
VBA Code:
Sub AddSourceCol()
    Dim LastCol As Long, WS As Worksheet
    Dim rng As Range
    
    Set WS = ActiveSheet
    
    For Each WS In Worksheets
        Select Case WS.Name
            Case "Epics V#1", "Epics V#2", "Epics V#3"
                LastCol = WS.UsedRange.Columns.Count
                Set rng = Application.Intersect(WS.UsedRange, WS.UsedRange.Columns(LastCol).EntireColumn)
                With rng
                    .Offset(1).Resize(.Rows.Count - 1).Value = WS.Name                 'overwrites last column
                End With
        End Select
    Next WS
End Sub

                LastCol = WS.UsedRange.Columns.Count
                Set rng = Application.Intersect(WS.UsedRange, WS.UsedRange.Columns(LastCol).EntireColumn)
                With rng
                    .Offset(1).Resize(.Rows.Count - 1).Value = WS.Name                 'overwrites last column
                End With
        End Select
    Next WS
End Sub

It wasn't exactly what I needed but it was a simply matter to adjust it to add a column rather than replace an existing column, once you straightened out my loop efforts.
Thank you for the help and the education!

I will be picking this apart to further my VBA education. :biggrin:
