I'm trying to loop thru an array of sheets but get an error on the follwing line.

VBA Code:
With Sheets(MySheets(i)).Range(Cells(2, 1), Cells(LastRow, LastCol))

VBA Code:
Sub SetCF()
    Dim LastRow As Long: LastRow = Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=Range("A1"), LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    Dim LastCol As Long: LastCol = Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=Range("A1"), LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Column
    Const Fm1$ = "=OR($D2=""Major Task"",$D2=""Workcenter"")"
    Const Fm2$ = "=$A2=3"
    Const Fm3$ = "=E2>$L2"
    Const Fm4$ = "=E2<$M2"
    Const Fm5$ = "=$G2=""P"""
    Const Fm6$ = "=$G2=""O"""
    Dim MySheets As Variant: MySheets = Array("PATS", "FREQS", "MMHRS")
    Dim i As Long
    For i = LBound(MySheets) To UBound(MySheets)
        With Sheets(MySheets(i)).Range(Cells(2, 1), Cells(LastRow, LastCol))
            With .FormatConditions
                .Delete
                With .Add(Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:=Fm1)
                    .Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous
                    .Interior.Color = RGB(217, 217, 217)
                    .Font.Bold = True
                    .StopIfTrue = False
                End With
                With .Add(Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:=Fm2)
                    .Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous
                    .Interior.Color = RGB(217, 225, 242)
                    .StopIfTrue = False
                End With
            End With
        End With
        With Sheets(MySheets(i)).Range(Cells(2, 5), Cells(LastRow, LastCol - 4))
            With .FormatConditions
                With .Add(Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:=Fm3)
                    .Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous
                    .Interior.Color = RGB(244, 176, 132)
                    .Font.Bold = True
                    .StopIfTrue = False
                End With
                With .Add(Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:=Fm4)
                    .Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous
                    .Interior.Color = RGB(142, 169, 214)
                    .Font.Bold = True
                    .StopIfTrue = False
                End With
                .Item(3).Priority = 1
                .Item(4).Priority = 2
            End With
        End With
    Next i
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
It's likely due to referencing cells without explicitly specifying the worksheet. When you use Cells, it refers to the active worksheet, but within your loop, you're referring to cells on different sheets. Try
VBA Code:
With Sheets(MySheets(i)).Range(Sheets(MySheets(i)).Cells(2, 1), Sheets(MySheets(i)).Cells(LastRow, LastCol))
