Hi,
I hope I'm posting in the correct place. I write vbscripts in a text editor and run them from PowerShell with cscript so I'm not sure about a vb version.
I am trying to open a workbook, loop through all worksheets, in each worksheet loop through all columns and look for a certain text string in the first row of every column, if it finds that string then format the entire column currency. the below code is what I have so far. When I WScript.Echo, it writes all the data in each column and row in each worksheet, so I know it's reading the data, but when I try to apply formatting, it does not. Also, for some reason I can't get it to save (maybe because the file hasn't changed since it won't format it won't save?). I set the workbook to visible to see what is happening but it opens and closes fast, so it's not performing how I wish.
Here I'm looking for _num but the entire field name is Account_num; this is just a test run. it makes sense in my actual file where I need to distinguish qty from rev and format appropriately.
Pleae see code below. any help appreciated. thanks
