How do I insert month/year on multiple sheets?












0















I want to add the month and year for the previous month in A2 of multiple sheets without selecting each individual sheet. I'm setting up a template to run reports every month.



I've searched, but I can't locate examples that are similar and loop instead of selecting each sheet.



Sub dateins()
' Date as Mo and year. Current month minus one.
Dim dash As Worksheet, daily As Worksheet, mon As Worksheet
Dim Thisday As Date, Rptmon As Date, ws As Worksheet

Set dash = Sheets("Dashboard")
Set daily = Sheets("Daily")
Set mon = Sheets("Monthly")
Thisday = Date

Rptmon = DateAdd("m", -1, Thisday)
Rptmon = Format(Thisday, "mmmm yyyy")
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
Select Case ws.Name
Case "dash", "daily", "mon"
If ws.Range("A2") = "" Then
ws.Range("A2").Replace What:="", Replacement:=Rptmon
End If
End Select
Next ws

End Sub


This loop does not insert the date on any of the sheets. Thank you for your help!

  • What are the full case-sensitive names of the worksheets you want to apply the date to?

Your Select Case is looking at the worksheet names, not the variables you've assigned to the worksheet objects.



Sub dateins()

' Date as Mo and year. Current month minus one.
Dim dash As Worksheet, daily As Worksheet, mon As Worksheet
Dim Thisday As Date, Rptmon As Date, ws As Worksheet

Set dash = Sheets("Dashboard")
Set daily = Sheets("Daily")
Set mon = Sheets("Monthly")
Thisday = Date

Rptmon = DateAdd("m", -1, Thisday)
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
Select Case ws.Name
Case "Dashboard", "Daily", "Monthly"
If ws.Range("A2") = "" Then
ws.Range("A2") = Rptmon
ws.Range("A2").numberformat = "mmmm yyyy"
End If
End Select
Next ws

End Sub


You want to assign a true date to A2 and let the cell format display the "mmmm yyyy".
