    Issues with a sorting macro across multiple sheets

    I have created a macro that sorts a set of numbers in a row from lowest to highest in a single sheet. I paired this macro to a shortcut so that it can be applied at will to any sheet in the workbook. However, the macro only seems to sort the values in the sheet which it was created and not in any of the other sheets. The macro doesn't give any errors and runs through the whole code, but the values in the other sheets are not sorted after it has been run. The data was originally located on different rows, but rows were added and then subsequently hidden in order to ensure that it was all in the same row and column (this was done outside of the macro). Is there a way for me to create a single macro with a shortcut key that will apply to all of the sheets?

    Post your existing code.
    Surround your VBA code with CODE tags e.g.;
    [CODE]your VBA code here[/CODE]
    The # button in the forum editor will apply CODE tags around your selected text.

    sorry for the length, I had to remove and then re-add cells that were merged.

    Whoa, whoa whoa...way to long and unreadable as a consequence

    Administrative Note:

    Welcome to the forum.

    We would very much like to help you with your query, however you need to include code tags around your code.

    Please take a moment to add the tags. Posting code between [CODE]Please [url=https://www.excelforum.com/login.php]Login or Register [/url] to view this content.[/CODE] tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, and it also maintains VBA formatting.

    Click on Edit to open your post, then highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here

    (Note: this change is not optional. No help to be offered until this moderation request has been fulfilled.)

    I would normally have added them for you but given the length I don't have the time.
    Richard Buttrey

    Replace this (three spots)
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Selective Demolition")

    With just this...
    ActiveSheet

    This worked! Thank you so much! Will the same replacement work for macros for 3,4,5, and 6 bids that were having the same issue?
