Have you ever needed to quickly select the same cell range across multiple worksheets in Excel? Or perhaps you've wanted to enter the same data into identical cell ranges on different sheets without having to do it sheet by sheet? Fortunately, there are efficient methods available. This guide will show you several tricks for selecting and filling the same cell range on different worksheets in Excel, making your data management tasks much more straightforward.

You can select the same cell ranges on different sheets with the following steps:

Step 1: In the Sheet Tab of Microsoft Excel, select multiple worksheets together by holding down the Ctrl key or Shift key. See the following screenshot:

Step 2: In the active worksheet, select a cell range. Now you have the same cell range selected in each selected worksheet.

Tip: If you input data into this cell range, all selected worksheets will update with the same data in the same range.

Note: This method does not ensure all worksheets in the workbook point to the same row number. For example, you scroll the active worksheet to select a range (A500:G550), and all the selected worksheets will have the same range selected, but it won’t locate all the selected worksheets to the same row number.
