View 8 RepliesI have a workbook with a list of names of up to 15 people in each of 5 rows. Each row then populates a row in a separate workbook with those names. Each person is identified by a number and each person then has their own worksheet in that workbook.
Is it possible in some way to auto-name the tab for each worksheet from the number in the name cell?
To automatically make the name of a sheet tab the same as in cell A8 of the same sheet, I'm currently using the following code ...
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error Resume Next
ActiveSheet.Name = Range("A8")
End Sub
however, I find that if I change the name that is in cell A8, the tab name doesn't change accordingly.
I need a code that will name the tab whatever is in cell A8 but also be fluid enough to change the tab name if the contents of cell A8 changes.
I do not want this code to operate all sheets, but only a few.
Is it possible to name a worksheet tab from a cell reference on a worksheet?

View 8 Replies View RelatedWe have these worksheets that have 100 tabs each
each tab is named joel_1400, joel_1401...Joel_1499 insert data in each tab template as needed for RFI's. then we have to make another worksheet with 100 tabs for 1500 to 1599
what we are doing is copying the whole worksheet and then erasing all of the user fields and changing all of the names manually for each tab
I'm a little scared to post what with all the warnings and instructions but here goes.
Each month I have to create a new workbook for entering data daily, the tabs are named
"April 1" "April 2" "April 3" and so forth.
I am looking for a shortcut to adding each sheet manually and renaming each tab after adding in 30-31 sheets.
I have found code for adding and naming in numeric order, weekday, monthly, but need something to add both the name of the month and the day of the month.
make the auto naming code displayed on the worksheet tab die after first entry into, so that regardless whether any values are changed in the worksheet--a minute, hour, day after-- the "namedate" stays the same.

(So when something is added or deleted in a tab it is added or deleted on the master) I use excel a little bit for work and personal finance purposes but I have zero experience with macros or VBA.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a macro available which will create a pre-defined name for a pivot sheet, which will contain the word "Pivot" followed by a underscore "_" and the name of the sheet on which the pivot is applied.
Example: I have data on a sheet called "Salary" and put a pivot on "Salary" on a new sheet, the new sheet should be auto named as "Pivot_Salary"

In Excel, is it possible to put coding/formula to rename a tab based on a cell value? For example if cell D3 says "America" could "Sheet 2" get automatically renamed to "America"?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a column with multiple currencies. Is there a way to write a formula or some code that will look to that column, and create a new Tab for each new currency name it finds, and then name the Tab that currency?
For example, C5:C15 has an assortment of entries either USD, GBP, AUD. I'd like a search that looks to C5 and creates a new tab labeled whatever the first currency is, then move down the column and do the same thing every time it encounters a new currency, but pass over a cell if it's a currency that already has a tab made for it.
I am interested in printing an entire workbook in one shot with multiple tabs, where each tab is one page. I would like to print the tabs such that the first tab has the number '1' in the footer, the second tab has '2' etc. And I don't want to go into each tab and type the number in the footer.
Does anyone know how to easily make this happen?
I am trying to run a macro to put in the Month, Day, Year on each tab but I want it to exclude holidays and weekends. I am not a techie or anything but I would like to know how to do this. I have tried various vb codes but they don't exclude the weekends/holidays.

Using this code I get the colour code of the current tab

ActiveSheet.Tab.ColorIndex = x
The tab is a different colour!
I have a summary page that includes the titles for each tab within the excel 2003 workbook.

My workbook has a summary page and one page for every day of the month. I am making a template file, so I can duplicate it to use every month of the year.
Each week is separated by a worksheet titled "week 1", "week 2" , etc. This is used in the summary page so I can gather totals for a week.
What I want to be able to do is this:
On the first day of the new month, go to week one and type in the date. Then that sheet tab would equal the date, and each daily tab name thereafter would increment the appropriate amount (1day). Then on week 2, it would be equal to the tab value for Friday +3.
The problems I see are:
1. In week 1 the month can start on any on of the 5 worksheets I have set up to cover the week. So any first day coding I need may have to be repeated in the first 5 worksheets
Is this do-able?
2. Tab naming code I have found on this site is not working for dates. 9-15-08 typed into a1 will not translate into the tab, even tho it is a valid name. I am using code VoGII gave which follows: ...

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe utilize a shared spreadsheet in our department named "Arrangement Requests".
From time to time and seemingly very random the sheet renames itself. When this happens anyone adding information to it becomes unable to save since the original "no longer exists".
This causes problems because everything we do is in real time and expected to be viewed by all as soon as save has been indicated.

Is there a way to name a new tab without knowing its name. For instance, when I create a new tab, it could be named "Sheet2" or "Sheet3", but there is sometimes no way to know. Is there a way to edit the name of that new tab without refering to it by name?

I have a spreadsheet which has four columns and numerous rows
Example:
Location - Desc - Price - ID#
Electric - Duplex Outlet - $5.00 - 12-0001
I would like to use VBA to name ranges. I need to name the Desc., Price, and ID# columns separately and want to use the Location and the headings of each column as the name range. Example - the column containing Duplex Outlet would be named ElectricDesc.
This is what I came up with, but need to figure out how to make "add name" a formula combining Location+Desc. I tried concatenate (B1,A2) but it did not work.
ActiveSheet.Names.Add Name:="MyRange1", RefersTo:="=$A$1:$B$10"
