Default Please help with VBA code
What do I need to do to this VBA code so when I start it it applies to the
entire workbook rather than the worksheet?

Thank you.

On Error Resume Next
Set MyRange = Columns(SearchColumn)
On Error Goto 0

'If an invalid range is entered then exit

Dim wksht As Worksheet

For Each wksht In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets


<<your code

Hi

You would need to wrap your code in a For Next loop.
Add these lines after your existing Dim statements

Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Activate
Range("E1").Select

your existing code

then before Application.ScreenUpdating=True
put
Next

I didn't have any luck with the code you gave me. I tried moving it around a
bit also, but couldn't get it to work. I don't know what I could be doing
wrong.

Hi
In what way does it not work?
What error message do you get?
If it worked for your individual sheet, what is different about your other
sheets?

The only difference to the original code you posted, is making the macro
loop through each worksheet in the workbook in turn, then running your
macro.

Default Please help with VBA code
With the code I just posted:

I select a cell (A1). Inside the cell is the word yellow.

I start the macro and I get a popup window - "Enter Search Column" - which
shows (A) being the selected column.

I click OK.

I get a popup window - "Enter Search String" - Nothing shows up, like it
does without your additional code, so I manually enter in the information
from (A1) - Yellow.

I click OK

I get a popup window - "Do you really want to delete rows with empty cells?"
- what is automatically entered is "No".

I click OK.

Nothing happens. Cell (A1) is still there and no rows throughout the
workbook have been deleted. The macro has stopped.


Thank you.
