thanks patrick, i was able to get it working with your help. i think all i
had to do was remove the period before the word range (Set rng =
Range("B3:B33")), which i had in my original post.

thanks again

For sh = 1 To 2 ' only 2 sheets to test with
Set rng = .Range("B3:B33") ' range to look for the value in the if

For Each cell In rng.Cells
If UCase(cell.Value) = "S" Then
WS.Range("f4").Value = WS.Range("f4").Value + .cell.Offset(0,
1).Value
End If
Next cell
Next sh
