Naming The Sheets Based On List On Column A.
May 5, 2006I have a huge db that has a column "C" with a list of names. I have been creating tabs and naming them according to that list. I wonder if there is anyway I can create and name the tabs automatically. I already searched for threads in the forum, but only found this this backwards "tabs to cells". By the way, the names in column "C" sometimes repeat.

Apr 15, 2014I need to name a dynamic range of cells. The only constant is the column - H, and the heading "MRC".
MRC column in a table represents an array formula. Unknown is the row where it is going to show up and the number of rows that this array formula will take. I need to name this range (active cells based on the array formula) but do not know what row does it start with and how many rows will it take.
It is not the last table in column H either but there are 2 empty rows before the next table.
Trying something like that...
=========================
Set aCell = Range("H:H").Find(What:="MRC", LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
If Not aCell Is Nothing Then
aCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
========================================
That's how I select the first cell in the range. Not sure how to select the whole range and name it ..
ActiveCell.End(1xDown) ?
Consolidate Data Multiple Worksheets Based On Naming Convention
Feb 3, 2008I have a workbook composed of many worksheets with varying names. Of the 40 or so worksheets, 25 of them contain data that I need to copy and consolidate into a master summary sheet within the same workbook. All of the sheets I need to grab data from have a worksheet name that ends in “(Data)”. All worksheets contain data that starts on the same row (row 8) but the number of rows of data will change daily. When I copy the data range on the individual sheets I do not want to copy the header row. I’ve tried various uses of the offset command with no luck to resize the selected range. I’ve also tried giving each range a named Dynamic Range and referring to this name in VBA code but that didn’t get me very far either. So the flow looks something like this:
1. Find all sheets with name ending in “(Data)” (i.e. “Project X (Data)”)
2.For each sheet found, find the data range and omit the first row of data.
3.Copy selected range.
4.Go to sheet “Master” and find the last row of data. Move down one row to the first empty row and paste copied range.
5.Go to next sheet and repeat.
Incorporate Adjacent Cell In Formula W/o Naming Cell Address?
Oct 2, 2009I searched and I keep finding something that's not quite what I'm looking to do so I think I'm missing something really simple.
Let's say that I want each cell in col b to be the sum of 5 plus whatever value is in the cell adjacent to it on the left (col).
I know that you can just write a formula in each cell like...
b1 will be =sum(a1+5)
b2 will be =sum(a2+5)
... but is there a shortcut so that you don't have to write out the actual cell address for each one?
Meaning - is there a predefined name or something that represents the cell to the left or right so you can just use that instead, allowing you to just copy paste the same formula all the way down the column? Something like...
b1 will be =sum(left+5)
b2 will be =sum(left+5)
... where "left" represents whatever value is in the cell to the left of that particular cell?
Naming Worksheet After Cell Values
Mar 8, 2009I was trying to rename the worksheet. using a cell value,A1. For example , if the cell value is Earning, the worksheet will be named as Earning.
However I would like to include the location before the name, Earning.
For example, in the cell value,A2 TK. I would like to rename the worksheet as TK_Earnings.
So the name of the sheet will be CellvalueA1_CellvalueA2.

Re-Naming Sheets Per Cell Data & Hiding Sheets
Aug 26, 2009on sheet1 I have a button I need to do the following when clicked:
(1) name the next 30 sheets based on cell values in sheet1
(2) for those 30 sheets, hide some of them based on a y/n input in sheet 1
To clarify: the worksheets do not need to be created, they already exist. They just need to be renamed and hidden based on that y/n criteria. see attachment with just 1 worksheet for clarification. So - The next 30 sheets are to be named by the following ranges (B7:B16), (B21:B30) and (B35:B44). For every product with a "n" in column C of sheet1, the worksheet for that product needs to be hidden.

Naming A Sheet From A Cell On The Same Sheet
Apr 7, 2008I want to have certain sheets in my workbook named from the result of a formula on that sheet in A1. There will never be an instance where two sheets would be the same name. I have ZERO experience in VBA. I tried the code below in each of the worksheets modules where I wanted the sheet name to change but it doesn't work.

Tab Naming
Sep 15, 2008My 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: ...

Aug 24, 2009We 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.

Naming Ranges
Jul 26, 2007I 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"
Naming Tabs ...
Aug 20, 2007To 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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedNaming Checkboxes
Dec 22, 2008Basically my code creates a load of checkboxes and I need to name them appropriately as they will be used in the next part of the code.
I haven't had a problem changing the caption properties etc but I need the name to be meaningful and unique - it works fine if I just want each checkbox to be called i.e. "CB1" etc but I want the name to be derived from a range within the worksheet.
Below is an extract from the
the_row = 10
For Each Item In ActiveSheet.OLEObjects
If Item.progID = "Forms.CheckBox.1" Then Item.Name = WorksheetFunction.Substitute(ActiveSheet.Range("C" & the_row).Value, " ", "_")
If Item.progID = "Forms.CheckBox.1" Then Item.Object.Caption = ""
If Item.progID = "Forms.CheckBox.1" Then Item.PrintObject = False
the_row = the_row + 1
Next
Column C contains the name which is unique to each checkbox, I simply need to replace any spaces with "_" but when I am not defining a set text string the name of the checkbox does not change.

Naming A Chart
Oct 12, 2006how to name a chart? I've been accessing charts in my VBA scripts using chart names, e.g. "Chart 4". I've been determining the chart name by recording a macro and selecting the charts. But, is there a way to either:
1- change the name of a chart (as you would name a pivot table)
2- determine the name without having to select the chart in a recorded macro
3- reference multiple charts from the same worksheet without using their names
Naming A Range With Vba
Jan 31, 2007A userform listbox places names in a column in Sheet2, starting with cell E1 and subsequent transfers from the listbox (which is multiselect) going to F1, G1 etc. There will be between 6 and 15 names in each case.
A seperate textbox is used to assign a number to each multiselection, this number is added to "Div" and placed in row 22 of the column to which the multiselection is transfered.
The text in this cell is used for other things later but I also want to use it to Name the range to which it refers. This name is then immediately used to populate another listbox in the userform, and will be used repeatedly later on in the project.
Here is the relavant snip of code that I have been trying to get to work but I get 'object required' for the ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add.......... line. I did manage to get rid of that once (can't recall how!!) but then the ListBox2,RowSource gave an error.
Set DvNm = Sheet2.Range("IV1").End(xlToLeft).Offset(21, 0)
Set Rngc = Sheet2.Range("IV1").End(xlToLeft)
Set Rngp = Sheet2.Range("D65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
DvNm.Value = "Div" & TextBox1.Value
Range(Rngc, Rngc.Offset(15, 0)).Copy
Rngp.PasteSpecial (xlPasteValues)
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:=DvMn.Value, RefersToR1C1:="Range(Rngc, Rngc.Offset(15, 0))"
