Excel VBA For Each Worksheet Loop

Question

I am working on code to basically go through each sheet in my Workbook, and then update column widths. Below is the code I wrote; I don't receive any errors, but it also doesn't actually do anything. Any help is greatly appreciated!

 Option Explicit
 Dim ws As Worksheet, a As Range

Sub forEachWs()

For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
Call resizingColumns
Next

End Sub

Sub resizingColumns()
Range("A:A").ColumnWidth = 20.14
Range("B:B").ColumnWidth = 9.71
Range("C:C").ColumnWidth = 35.86
Range("D:D").ColumnWidth = 30.57
Range("E:E").ColumnWidth = 23.57
Range("F:F").ColumnWidth = 21.43
Range("G:G").ColumnWidth = 18.43
Range("H:H").ColumnWidth = 23.86
Range("i:I").ColumnWidth = 27.43
Range("J:J").ColumnWidth = 36.71
Range("K:K").ColumnWidth = 30.29
Range("L:L").ColumnWidth = 31.14
Range("M:M").ColumnWidth = 31
Range("N:N").ColumnWidth = 41.14
Range("O:O").ColumnWidth = 33.86
End Sub

Answer 1

Try to slightly modify your code:

Sub forEachWs()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
        Call resizingColumns(ws)
    Next
End Sub

Sub resizingColumns(ws As Worksheet)
    With ws
        .Range("A:A").ColumnWidth = 20.14
        .Range("B:B").ColumnWidth = 9.71
        .Range("C:C").ColumnWidth = 35.86
        .Range("D:D").ColumnWidth = 30.57
        .Range("E:E").ColumnWidth = 23.57
        .Range("F:F").ColumnWidth = 21.43
        .Range("G:G").ColumnWidth = 18.43
        .Range("H:H").ColumnWidth = 23.86
        .Range("i:I").ColumnWidth = 27.43
        .Range("J:J").ColumnWidth = 36.71
        .Range("K:K").ColumnWidth = 30.29
        .Range("L:L").ColumnWidth = 31.14
        .Range("M:M").ColumnWidth = 31
        .Range("N:N").ColumnWidth = 41.14
        .Range("O:O").ColumnWidth = 33.86
    End With
End Sub

Note, resizingColumns routine takes parametr - worksheet to which Ranges belongs.

Basically, when you're using Range("O:O") - code operats with range from ActiveSheet, that's why you should use With ws statement and then .Range("O:O").

And there is no need to use global variables (unless you are using them somewhere else)

Answer 2

Try this more succinct code:

Sub LoopOverEachColumn()
    Dim WS As Worksheet
    For Each WS In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
        ResizeColumns WS
    Next WS
End Sub

Private Sub ResizeColumns(WS As Worksheet)
    Dim StrSize As String
    Dim ColIter As Long
    StrSize = "20.14;9.71;35.86;30.57;23.57;21.43;18.43;23.86;27.43;36.71;30.29;31.14;31;41.14;33.86"
    For ColIter = 1 To 15
        WS.Columns(ColIter).ColumnWidth = Split(StrSize, ";")(ColIter - 1)
    Next ColIter
End Sub

If you want additional columns, just change 1 to 15 to 1 to X where X is the column index of the column you want, and append the column size you want to StrSize.

For example, if you want P:P to have a width of 25, just add ;25 to StrSize and change ColIter... to ColIter = 1 to 16.

Hope this helps.

You need to put the worksheet identifier in your range statements as shown below ...

 Option Explicit
 Dim ws As Worksheet, a As Range

Sub forEachWs()

For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
Call resizingColumns
Next

End Sub

Sub resizingColumns()
ws.Range("A:A").ColumnWidth = 20.14
ws.Range("B:B").ColumnWidth = 9.71
ws.Range("C:C").ColumnWidth = 35.86
ws.Range("D:D").ColumnWidth = 30.57
ws.Range("E:E").ColumnWidth = 23.57
ws.Range("F:F").ColumnWidth = 21.43
ws.Range("G:G").ColumnWidth = 18.43
ws.Range("H:H").ColumnWidth = 23.86
ws.Range("i:I").ColumnWidth = 27.43
ws.Range("J:J").ColumnWidth = 36.71
ws.Range("K:K").ColumnWidth = 30.29
ws.Range("L:L").ColumnWidth = 31.14
ws.Range("M:M").ColumnWidth = 31
ws.Range("N:N").ColumnWidth = 41.14
ws.Range("O:O").ColumnWidth = 33.86
End Sub
