Hey, guys,
I'm using a macro do to some basic tasks. However, it keeps ignoring some of the worksheets.
Any idea why?

Code:
Sub Macro1()
Dim w as worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False


For Each w In Worksheets


    ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False
    ActiveWindow.Zoom = 85
    Range("A1").Select


Next


Application.ScreenUpdating = True


End Sub

Thanks

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
You need to select each sheet for that to work:

Rich (BB code):
Sub Macro1()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False


For Each Sheet In Worksheets

Sheet.Select
    ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False
    ActiveWindow.Zoom = 85
    Range("A1").Select


Next


Application.ScreenUpdating = True


End Sub

Thanks, Rory. It worked perfectly!

Would it be possible to do it without using Sheet.Select? I figured "ActiveWindow" was the problem and was trying to replace it with "ActiveSheet" but it didn't work

No, you can't set the Zoom or select a cell on a sheet without it being active.
