Excel VBA - Basics videos | Excel VBA Part 17 - For Each Loops
Posted by Andrew Gould on 10 February 2014
A For Each Loop is used to loop over a collection of objects and there are lots of good reasons for wanting to do that in Excel VBA! This video takes you from the basics of the For Each Next statement and using object variables through several examples of looping over worksheets, workbooks, chartobjects and cells and, finally, into writing nested loops for even more power.

Hi,
Since I am new in VBA, I would appreciate your assistance. As in your video example, I am trying to loop through each worksheet and each cell in a range of cells by using nested For Each....Next loops. What is wrong with the "SingleWorksheet.ListOfCells" line in the code below?
Sub ForEachSelect()
Dim SingleWorksheet As Worksheet
Dim SingleCell As Range
Dim ListOfCells As Range
Set ListOfCells = Range("a1", Range("a1").End(xlDown))
For Each SingleWorksheet In Worksheets
For Each SingleCell In SingleWorksheet.ListOfCells
SingleCell.Select
Next SingleCell
Next SingleWorksheet
End Sub
Thanks in advance for the help.
Hi, the problem is that ListOfCells isn't a property of a worksheet, it's an object variable which contains a reference to a specific block of cells. As you set the reference to the range before beginning the loop, it will refer to the cells on whichever worksheet is active when you begin running the procedure. One other small problem is that you can't successfully select a cell unless the worksheet to which the cell belongs is active. You can restructure your code in a variety of ways to solve this. Here's one possibility:
Sub ForEachSelect()
Dim SingleWorksheet As Worksheet
Dim SingleCell As Range
Dim ListOfCells As Range
For Each SingleWorksheet In Worksheets
SingleWorksheet.Select
Set ListOfCells = Range("A1", Range("A1").End(xlDown))
For Each SingleCell In ListOfCells
SingleCell.Select
Next SingleCell
Next SingleWorksheet
End Sub
I hope that helps!
