Editing the Same Cell in Multiple Sheets

Drew:

If you are trying to delete rows in which any of the cells in those rows are merged with cells above or below, then you would probably be having problems with the deletion.

This does not work for me in Excel 2016. I have tables on each sheet that reference each other. When I select all sheets and the right click on one of the rows then select "Delete > Table Rows". Table Rows is grayed out and wont let me delete them.

Any suggestions?

Thank you so much, I have been doing it the long way by going on each sheet. Whew! What a load off!

Sir, Changing data in multiple sheets is informative.Also if we want to place increasing month in every sheet.
Eg Shhet 1 April 16, Sheet 2 May 16, Sheet 3, June 16.

I have a main worksheet. I then have separate worksheets that breakdown into subcategories from the first. Jobs sold, awarded, quoted, etc. I want to be able to add/change something in the first one and it change/add it in the second. The "group" function works for the add part BUT if one the original page, I add something on line 116, I don't want it to add on 116 in the second worksheet as there are only 20 lines in that second worksheet so I'd want it to land on line 21. Also for the change part, if a job goes from awarded to sold and I change this word, is there a way to have it automatically move from one worksheet labeled awarded to the other labeled sold? I know this may be too complex a question for here. Thought I'd try and thank you in advance.

Typo in first set. Should say WORKSHEET instead of workBOOK.

Super.. Know this functionality exist, but could not find out how. Has made my working so much easier on shared files

I'm trying to run a macro on all files in a folder. Can you help. Here's what I have so far

Sub AllFiles()
Dim folderPath As String
Dim filename As String
Dim wb As Workbook

folderPath = "H:My DocumentsAdmin Tasksmacro1" 'change to suit

If Right(folderPath, 1) <> "" Then folderPath = folderPath + ""

filename = Dir(folderPath & "*.xls")
Do While filename <> ""
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(folderPath & filename)

'Call a subroutine here to operate on the just-opened workbook
Call Clear
filename = Dir
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Sub Clear()
Dim ws As Worksheet

For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Columns("E:F").Select
Selection.Copy
Columns("A:B").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
ws.Range("E2:F1000").ClearContents
ws.Range("K2:Q1000").ClearContents
Next ws
End Sub

I love this - but am using an excel spreadsheet that the capability seems to be blocked or disabled. is that possible? how do I correct it so I can edit all the tabs at once? (it is an inherited s/s and has about 70 worksheets!)

thanks!

This just got real... No words to what this has done for my productivity at work.

Thank you

Just wanted to say Thank you! :)

a fantastic tip, i got a spreadsheet for a soccer camp with over a 150 children. The christian and surnames were in the same cell.

Thank You

I have used this process often, but my secondary question is there a way to include s change process for all hidden sheets as well without un-hiding them. Thanks You

this is good to know, I'm setting up a workbook with 16 sheets and would like to have some type of auto fill for 24 cells, ie name address and things like that. Is there a way to set this as a auto fill for 24 different cells?

Is there any way to do this using a macro? I need to update workbooks by first transferring data into primary (master) workbook than then have master workbook feed the total updates back to individual workbooks while adding new employees to master and deleting employees that quit from the master workbook.

Thank You.

This also works well for printing mulitple sheets without having to open each sheet and choose print. If you have a custom footer with page number inserted, this action will cause the pages to be numbered sequentially. Wish it worked for seting print area too, but as far as I know this function will not work.

This is a GREAT tip! I wish I'd had this a couple of years ago when I was working with a 58 page workbook!

Very good tip.

Thank you.

This technique is also very useful for formatting a cell or range of cells across multiple worksheets, such as making sure all the headings in A1 have the same font, size, color, etc. But again, step 4 is VERY important! If you forget to ungroup the sheets, you can inadvertently change data on the unseen sheets.
