I have a workbook that imports a number of text files from a website, each
file onto a different worksheet, starting at worksheet 4. Then I need it to
do a "text to columns" on cells A9-A11. Then I need the results of B9-11
stored in Cx-Ex, where x is the worksheet number. It should look *SOMETHING*
like this (please help me with the commands and my errors, my comments using
the ' (single quote, I believe that is the "ignore" sign in VB, right?):





x=4
Do until x=41 '(if the last worksheet is 40, correct?)

I need to do this on multiple worksheets)

There is a lot that's confused here. But I have some comments in-line,
starting with ***. Actually, I think the whole thing should be
reconsidered.

Hope it helps,

x=4
Do until x=41 '(if the last worksheet is 40, correct?)
*** yes, that's correct. But you are placing "x=x+1" in the wrong
place.


Sub Breakup() '(this is the code to do it on the current worksheet, again
I need to do this on multiple worksheets)
*** I don't like the SUB statement, and I'm not really sure it is still
used! Just write a true subroutine called "Breakup", and call it with
the line "Call Breakup ()". That keeps your code cleaner, too.
