macro confusion
 

I am trying to create a macro that will perform the same function on
different tabs in a workbook, but whenever i try to run the macro for various
tabs, the macro defaults to the original tab that the macro was created in
and I end up getting an error message with options to end, debug, or cancel.
does anyone have suggestions to how i can fix this?

Hi,

I suspect we may have more idea if we saw the macro.

I believe I deleted the macro because it wasn't working. Here is my
scenario. In a workbook I have a tab for each month of the year, and in each
tab I am using a 5-point moving average for data that is tabulated for each
day of the month. I also have a tab that summarizes each month, and the only
data that I am putting in that tab is the month, and overall average for each
month. Since the overall average in each tab lies in the same cell (h35), I
want a macro that can go to each tab, pull the value in h35, and return that
value to the summary tab for each respective month. Is this possible?

dim wks as worksheet
for each wks in activeworkbook.worksheets
wks.range("A1").value = "hi"
wks.range("b1").clearcontents
next wks

Make sure you qualify each range (or object or property or method) with "wks.".
