How to loop through all sheets in an Excel workbook using VBA?

To loop through all sheets in an Excel workbook using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), you can use the `Worksheets` or `Sheets` collection in a loop. This allows you to perform operations on each sheet within the workbook. Below is a basic example that demonstrates how you can do this:

Sub LoopThroughSheets()

    Dim ws As Worksheet
    
    ' Loop through each worksheet in the active workbook
    For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
        ' You can perform actions on each worksheet here
        ' For example, display the worksheet name in a message box
        MsgBox "Sheet Name: " & ws.Name
    Next ws

End Sub

Explanation:

Dim ws As Worksheet: This creates a variable named `ws` to represent each worksheet.
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets: This starts a loop through each worksheet in the workbook that contains the code (`ThisWorkbook`).
MsgBox “Sheet Name: ” & ws.Name: Inside the loop, you can perform any action you need on the worksheet. Here, it shows a message box with the name of each worksheet.
Next ws: This finishes the loop and moves to the next worksheet.

Additional Notes:

  Dim sh As Object
  For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
      MsgBox "Sheet/Chart Name: " & sh.Name
  Next sh

If you want to include Chart Sheets in addition to regular Worksheets, you can loop through the `Sheets` collection instead of `Worksheets`:
Replace `ThisWorkbook` with `ActiveWorkbook` if you want to refer to the workbook that’s currently open and active rather than the one containing the code.
You can customize the operations inside the loop per your specific needs, such as modifying cell values, formatting sheets, or copying data.
