Whether you have to list the names or not depends on the *exact* naming
system you used. Are your sheets really *named* a, b, c, 1, 2, 3, etc.? If
not, tell us the *actual* names you are using. Alternately, **IF** your
sheets are in the order you have shown, namely the left three tabs are for
your a, b, c sheets, and the fourth tab is your 1 sheet, then it doesn't
matter what their names are as we can work with their position numbers
(given they are in the order I just assumed). That code would be...

Sub CopyFormats()
Dim X As Long
For X = 5 To Worksheets.Count
Worksheets(4).Range("P10:AA109").Copy Worksheets(X).Range("P10")
Worksheets(X).Range("P10:AA109").ClearContents
Next
End Sub

Sorry,

I had forgotten that I have three worksheets that I do not want to copy
the
format to. I have sheets a,b,c then sheets 1,2,3. I want to copy from 1 to
2,3 etc....

Do I have to name each sheet I want or how its best to go about this?

Thanks

Here is another way to do what you want...

Sub CopyFormats()
Dim X As Long
For X = 2 To Worksheets.Count
Worksheets(1).Range("P10:AA109").Copy Worksheets(X).Range("P10")
Worksheets(X).Range("P10:AA109").ClearContents
Next
End Sub

This code assumes your "Sheet 1" is the first sheet tab on the left. If
that
is not the case, let me know and I'll adjust the code to handle it (but
let
me know the exact sheet name though so I can build my code around it).
Also
note that I assumed you meant AA109 when you wrote A109).

Afternoon,

I have a file with 10 different sheets in it. I have a macro part of
which
is attached below, which copies the format from a set of cells in sheet
1
and
copies them into sheet 2. I need to do this for all 10 sheets - take
the
format thats in cells cells P10 to A109 from sheets 1 and copy it to
sheet
2,
then sheet 3, sheet 4 etc etc. All copying is from sheet 1.

Is it possible to have one formula that will loop through the sheets
without
me having to repeat the same code 10 times?

Thanks

Sheets("1").Range("P10:AA109").Copy
Sheets("2").Range("P10").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False

Next code would be (exactly the same apart from sheet ref in second
line

Sheets("1").Range("P10:AA109").Copy
Sheets("3").Range("P10").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
