    Avoid "Selecting" sheet in a For Next loop

    Hi,

    I'd like to avoid screen flashing in my macro so I set sheets that are created by the subroutine to be hidden. Is there a way the .Select line (bolded below) can be re-written to avoid having the sheet be selected?

    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 tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, and it also maintains VBA formatting.

    Please see Forum Rule #2 about code tags and adjust accordingly. 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.)

    I don't know why you are using a loop to do this.

    Use the Macro recorder to record you entering a formula in F1 to return the correct value. Paste that formula instead of ?????????????? below

    Thanks mehmetcik and TMS

    Might be helpful if I share a bit more code. Running into an error that says "Compile Error - End If without block If". Do you know why this may be based on the below?

    Re: Avoid "Selecting" sheet in a For Next loop

    I've been learning how to write macros on my own now since October 2019 but am no expert at all yet (as you can probably tell). As a result, I sometimes will inevitably write something not as elegantly as some of you experts out there! I can work on implementing the above suggestion, mehmetcik. Thank you.

    Would still like to figure out why I'm getting the Compile Error above, however. Thanks in advance.

    If you want to use the loop, you need to look at the code in detail. Notice With ... End With and also the dots ( . ) in front of Range

    This will fail:

    because you can't select a cell on a hidden sheet.

    Aha, I see! Thanks for pointing that out - kind of embarrassing I didn't catch that.

    So is there a way to Dim this additional 'select' part out?
