View 6 RepliesI'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.
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.
I have 20 worksheets all with the following as code to name the tabs:

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 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?
I have a monitoring database and I want to create a 'source' sheet in sheet 1 whereby when I enter names into a certain column they rename different tabs/sheets in the worksheet. for example, the name 'Brown' inputted in cell 'A2' would rename sheet 2, Black in A3 would rename sheet 3 etc.

I would like it so that someone else could come along and change the name in the cell and the name of the workbook would change too.
How can this be done using VB? The format of the date I'm looking for is: 16-Nov-08
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I have a macro to loop through the files in a folder. The macro will then open up the files and copy over to a new workbook.
As I want to rename the worksheets created in the new workbook as part of the file name. Any idea how to extract the file name out and stored in a string?
Currently it will be named after the Cell A1 in the opened file. However I would like to rename as below.
Example, the file name : 030309_Mary Sales.xls, Worksheet Name to Create : Mary Sales.
File name : 030309_John King, Worksheet Name : John King
(in the code, 030309 taken from my menu sheet,D4 is the keyword , to search in files containing D4, where D3 is the directory to look in)

How can I get the worksheet tabs to show?
I have gone to : Tools,option and the sheet tabs box is checked
I can only view one worksheet at a time with a particular spreadsheet. There are no tabs to click at the bottom of the screen to view the other worksheets. In excel 2007, if I click on View, then Full Screen, I get the tabs (so I can view the different worksheets) but then I lose the menu and formula bar (so when I click on a cell I can only see its contents and not the formula). I need to see the formula that is applied. This has not happened with other S/Sheets, just this particular one. what else I can do to view the worksheet tabs without full screen view?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have been presented with a rather odd thing with Excel. We have a wookbook with six worksheets in it. When the first of worksheets is displayed, all the other tabs "disappear". The whole bottom tool/navigation bar is no longer displayed. How can I get it back?
View 8 Replies View Relatedi got a question for anyone to help me with. i need help in figuring out how to type in a cell (A1) making it changing the worksheet tab as well. I watched Episode 452 of mrexcel's podcasts, but i cant see the text that he typed in. Can anyone help me with this problem or link me to another post where this same problem has already been answered.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a vb code that merges all the tabs(sheets) in my work book. however i need to know how i can change my code so it only mergers certain tabs.
here is the code i have:
Sub Merge()
Dim ws As Worksheet
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Offset(0).Clear
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.Name ActiveSheet.Name Then
ws.UsedRange.Copy
Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlFormats, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False
End If
Next

I've received a workbook that contains maybe 60+ worksheets. To navigate the workbook, a person must use the hyperlinks on each sheet. However the worksheet tabs do not appear at the bottom of the sheet. I've checked Tools / Options / View / Sheet Tabs and the checkbox is checked. II've also tried unchecking and rechecking the box.) There are no custom views created.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI found the following "sort worksheet tabs" code by searching through the threads.
Sub SortSheets()
Dim lCount As Long, lCounted As Long
Dim lShtLast As Long
Dim lReply As Long
lReply = MsgBox("To sort Worksheets ascending, select 'Yes'. " _
& "To sort Worksheets descending select 'No'", vbYesNoCancel, "Ozgrid Sheet Sort")
If lReply = vbCancel Then Exit Sub
lShtLast = Sheets.Count
This code works fine but I need to adjust it a little. I have over 70 worksheets that will need to be sorted. At the same time, there are about 6 worksheets that I dont want to sort and want to keep right infront all the time.
I've done a search for this but cant find the complete answer for what I'm looking for. Basically I've got a "Home Sheet" set-up where the user can only navigate to worksheets via the buttons on the home page (with a short- cut to go back to the home page). It works ok (very basic though) but the user can still use the worksheet tabs at the bottom of the screen to navigate (making this system void).
how I can, either, hide the worksheet tabs at the bottom of excel, or, a better way of navigating these worksheets (there is only about 6 of them).
knew if there was a way to hide the available tabs in an excel worksheet.
I know you may be thinking just right click and hide, however what I am looking for is a little different.
Basically I have a Macro Enabled work sheet which works on a "one click" system. The work sheet is full of buttons with assigned macros and data validation drop down boxes which link to many different tabs. The entire sheet is for information only so I will be locking the sheets to avoid data manipulation. The problem with right clicking and hiding the tabs is that it interfears with the macros.
All I really want to do is make these tabs not visible. I have set the sheet to open in full screen mode and they obviously are still there, but this is basically what I am looking to do. Not so much hide them in terms of sending them into the background, more so make them "drop off" the bottom of the screen to they are still active but not visible.
I have a spreadsheet that is sent to me monthly. Here is the issue:
Each workbook contains multiple tabs. The position of those tabs may be different positions when received.
The part of each tab's naming convention does not change, while the rest of the tabs' name contains random information.
My question: Is it possible to to search/find the tab based on part of the name?
example: Name on tab:
Pivot Table Data June 2011
Search for: Pivot
is there a method to do this besides writing them out individually?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI don't know VBA code but i am familiar enough to know that a code can be written to separate out information into different tabs on a worksheet.
For example, I have a standard worksheet with say 20 columns going across and 20,000 rows going down. At each "name" change in row 1, I would like a macro to copy into a new tab. Basically the end result will have a tab for each name and the corresponding columns that go with the name.
I need to create a Worksheet within a macro that has 10 tabs. I had something running, then I made some changes and I got Application-defined or object defined error.
Sheets("Sheet1").Name=Sheetname(1)
Sheets.Add after:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
I was looping thru this up to 10 now its not working. This isn't too complicated,
Is it possible to hide specific worksheet tabs.
I have a workbook with many worksheets and I only want to hide Sheet1 and Sheet2.
I am trying to do is populate one worksheet (in the same workbook) with data from many (ie 500) separate tabs. An example is as follows:
On the summary data worksheet, we will call Price Highs, I am trying to return one column of data from each of the 500 worksheets (aka their Price Highs). This is so that I can have each tabs (symbols) data next to one another for easy formula dragging and analyzing. Up to this point I have been using the Find/Replace function, but with this many worksheets I would obviously have to do it 500 times!
I would like to create a macro that would bring up an input box or preferably a list box that will allow me to input information for a sheet/tab name where where "TBL NPL NGRPL" appears in the code at the end of this message. The macro needs to be available to any new file created
The only worksheet names needed are below.
TBL NPL NGRPL
TBL NPL NIAU7
TBL NPL NIAU8
TBL NPL NIA10
TBL NPL NNDU4
This is the extent of my ability:
Sub Macro1()
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Sheets("Sheet1").Name = "TBL NPL NGRPL"
Range("A1").Select
End Sub
I created six macros, but there must be an easier way.
This macro helps me create a blank worksheet and automatically names it from the list in column A. Unfortunately, it adds the worksheets to the left of my 'master' sheet called "Tab Names". When I try adding "after" when it adds a new sheet, I keep getting a "compile error: Expected: end of statement". I am positive you will know what steps I'm missing.
' Vendor List Subroutine to
' Open New Worksheet called Tab Names worksheet
' With data from Tab Names
' Rename sheet to name from list and start again
' For all names in list
Sub NewTabsFromList()
Dim cCell As Object, i As Integer 'Two variables cCell (current Cell) object and i (standard counting integer)
Cells(1, "A").Select 'Ensure that we start each time at the top of the worksheet
Application. ScreenUpdating = False 'Turn of screen updates whilst macro is running
For Each cCell In Range(Cells(1, "A"), Cells(1, "A").End(xlDown)) 'Will run our code through each cell with text
Set NewSheet = Sheets.Add(Type:=xlWorksheet) 'Add new worksheet
NewSheet.Name = "Tab Names Worksheet" 'rename worksheet
Sheets("Tab Names worksheet").Name = cCell.Value
Next cCell
End Sub
I have an excel spreadsheet with various worksheets, each worksheet is named different according to tests that must be performed. Each test is different and inputed by rows, there is one column from each test in which we populate "passed", "failed", "pending", "N/A", or "user issue".
The problem is searching for all the "failed", and "user issue's" throughout all the tabs. I want to create a tab which will identify and display all the "failed", and "user issues" on one tab, and sort it according to its tabbed test name. Now, not to be picky, I would like to copy only a few cells along with the failed message, if not, the entire row would be fine. Could anyone assist? to sum it up, I want to create a sheet that'll identify all the issues existing throughout tabs.
