Question

I was trying to insert a row just below another row base on some condition. Now this code will loop through many sheets. It work fine for 1 sheet, but when it tries to perform the same function for next sheet, it showing error. Can anybody help me to solve the problem. The code I was using is given below:

Sub test()
Dim a As Worksheet
Dim lngRow As Long
Dim s As String
Dim z As Variant
s = "Sheet1,Sheet2"
z = VBA.Split(s, ",")
For Each i In z
Set a = Sheets(i)
For lngRow = a.UsedRange.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
If UCase$(a.Cells(lngRow, 2).Value) = "R" Then
a.Range("A" & CStr(lngRow + 1)).Select
Selection.EntireRow.Insert , CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
End If
Next lngRow
Next i
End Sub

The error is coming in this row:

a.Range("A" & CStr(lngRow + 1)).Select

Answer 1

The reason you get an error is that you can only Select a range on the Active sheet. To fix your code as is, add a.Activate before the For loop.

Better still, don’t Select at all.
