Loop to my Loop challenge

[joeshu26]

Hello,

I am looking for help on a code to loop through sheets of data (the sheet names are dates listed in the column below labeled "Sheet Name".) I would like loop through each sheet that is a date and paste cell "D8" into column E in my table below for each corresponding date that has a Life of 5 in column D. For Each Date that has a Life of 7 I would like data from the sheets to be pasted in from cell "E8" into column E of the table below.

I would like this process above repeated above for column F of the table below, which would simply paste in data from "D9" and "E9" for each resepective sheet date and Life of 5 and 7. Any takers on this challenge would be appreciated!

First of all, can you have sheet names with slashes in them? I'll assume that you have valid sheet names in column C, and that they exist.

I'd probably do something like this. Please note the following:

• I assumed that there is more than one workbook (column B)
• see above about the sheet names
• I try to never use "ActiveSheet," but without knowing more about your project...
• this was not tested

Thank you Russel for taking the time and effort to put this together. You are correct my dates on my tabs are not formatted with dd/mm/yyyy but rather ex: Dec 26, 2014. I am testing your above code and am getting close! Thank you

Great! Glad to hear it.
