IF function - with partial worksheet name

Hi Guys

I'm trying to use an IF function to find a certain worksheet in a workbook with the below, however the macro keeps falling over at the "If ws.Name Like " part.

Are you able to let me know why it is falling over?


Workbooks.Open (FilePath)
Dim ws As Worksheet
If ws.Name Like "Firm L with Amendments*" Then
ws.Select
Range("A2:Q2").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
Else: ws.Select "FIRM L (LDN)*"
Range("A2:Q2").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
End If
End Sub

Thanks!

Freddie

RE: IF function - with partial worksheet name

Hi Freddie,


Thank you for the forum question.
When you work with Object Variables the object variables need to be Set but in your example I will suggest that you put a loop around the code. Try:

Workbooks.Open (FilePath)
Dim ws As Worksheet

For Each ws in ThisWorkBook.Worksheets

If ws.Name Like "Firm L with Amendments*" Then
ws.Select
Range("A2:Q2").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
ElseIf ws.Name Like "FIRM L (LDN)*" Then
Range("A2:Q2").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
End If
Next ws
End Sub

I hope this can do what you want.
