I think Tom twigged it then using an array.

You lost me on that one, but let me explain a bit better here.

I have 2 completely different values that need to be determined. One is
based off the name of the sheet, so there is no worries there. So if
sheet1
equalled "Jupiter" then my Dim TbName would = Jupiter. However the second
variable is based off that name, so if TbName = Jupiter, then Dim
RegionSelect = "5th Planet".

The problem lies in that I dont know how to set RegionSelect without using
several If statements to figure out what it should be.

Not sure I fully understand but you can create worksheet local names
like so

For Each sh In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If sh.Name < "Sheet1" Then
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="'" & sh.Name & "'!Region", _
RefersTo:="='" & sh.Name & "'!$A$3:$A$10"
End If
Next sh


change the range to suit

Hey all.

Having some issues with this, and wanted to see if you have any ideas.

Essentially what I am doing is looping through 9 sheets and excecuting
some
code to create pivot tables on each sheet.

For my code to work properly I need a few dimensions assigned,
'TbName'
and
'RegionSelect'

What I have now is this just reiterated 9 times, with tb name being 9
different names and 9 different sheets being selected

Sheets("Sheet").Select
TbName = "Name of region"
RegionSelect = ActiveSheet.Name
My_Macro


So now I have come up with this code below:

Public TbName As String
Public RegionSelect As String
Dim wSht As Integer

Sheets(1).Select
wSht = ActiveSheet.Index
Do While wSht < 10
If wSht = 1 Then
Sheets(wSht).Select
Else
End If

Sheets(wSht).Select
TbName = ActiveSheet.Name
'Code that does stuff will go here
wSht = wSht + 1

Loop


What I need is a way to assign 'RegionSelect' with the proper region
for
each sheet
The only way I can think of doing this is to create 9 If statements
like:

If activesheet.name = "sheet 1" Then
Regionselect = "Region1"
End if

Is there a better way to do this?
