You and Gary both got it. Thanks! I realize the code may be amateurish but it
is my first try. Thanks for the additional tips.

The reason you continually loop thru the first sheet is that you never leave
it - you need a worksheets(nextsheetname).activate statement before the
cells(2,7).select

Get the above working then have a think about changing cell contents
without activating them - ie Cells(2,7).offset(0,-1).value = "Value" - Much
quicker, less screen flash

Forgot to go to the next worksheet :O

Sub CalcDates()
Dim wks As Worksheet
For Each wks In Worksheets
Cells(2, 7).Select
Selection.Value = "Days"
Cells(3, 7).Select
Do While Not IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1))
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=DAYS360(RC[-4],RC[-6])"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
wks.Activate
Next wks
End Sub

With both solutions I still have the same result. The macro never moves on to
the next sheet.

That will work, but (in my opinion) bad form to try to use reserved words as
variables or constants. But I think I know why you did it in this case.

Probably better for OP to do it this way:

Sub CalcDates()
Dim anySheet as Worksheet
For Each anySheet in ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
'.... the other code here
Next ' end of anySheet loop
End Sub

I'd say you probably need to declare the worksheet....

Sub CalcDates()
Dim worksheet as worksheet
'stuff
End Sub

I have some simple code that selects a cell, enters a value, selects some
more cells and enters a formula. When i follow suggestions to configure the
code to run on all worksheets I cannot get it right. What it does is run the
code on the active sheet as many times as there are sheets. So it's looping
but not going on to the next sheet. Can someone tell me what I have wrong? I
have included the code that works (for the active sheet only) and the code i
think would work but won't.

Works:

Sub CalcDates()
ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 7).Select
Selection.Value = "Days"
ActiveSheet.Cells(3, 7).Select
Do While Not IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1))
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=DAYS360(RC[-4],RC[-6])"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
End Sub

Doesn't work:

Sub CalcDates()
For Each Worksheet In Worksheets
Cells(2, 7).Select
Selection.Value = "Days"
Cells(3, 7).Select
Do While Not IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1))
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=DAYS360(RC[-4],RC[-6])"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
Next Worksheet
End Sub
