I was trying to write a macro that performed the following: For every sheet

  • 0

I was trying to write a macro that performed the following:

For every sheet in the workbook:
1. Select a column
2. Search in the selected column for a specific value in the Row number 5
3. If that value matches another cel (A1), then Insert two columns before the selected column

  1. Perform the same for every column in the sheet. (i mean, those columns where there is something, I know that there are an infinite amount of potential columns).

Any help or direction toward an answer would be more than helpful.

    This will get you what you are after, I think.

    Dim wks As Worksheet
    
    For Each wks In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
    
        With wks
            Dim intCol As Integer, intCnt As Integer
    
            intCol = .UsedRange.Columns.Count
    
            For intCnt = intCol To 2 Step -1 'assumes you ignore col A since your match value is there
                If .Cells(5, intCnt) = .Cells(1, 1) Then
                    .Range(.Cells(1, intCnt), .Cells(1, intCnt + 1)).EntireColumn.Insert Shift:=xlToLeft
                End If
            Next
    
        End With
    
    Next
