Referencing Sheet Tabs
Is there a way to use the "value" of a name in a drop-down list to reference a sheet tab name in a formula?
A1 has a drop down list. When a name (Bob's Sales) is selected from the drop down list, B1 shows the value of cell D5 from sheet "Bob's Sales".

Referencing Selected Tabs To Print Selection & Update Table Of Contents Sheet
I searched but didn't find exactly what I needed. I have a workbook with 31 sheets. It is a price guide with each category on a separate worksheet. I figured out how to list the sheets on a separate tab. What my client wants is the ability to: 1. select certain categories for printing, the ToC, Cover and backcover pages have to print in every case 2. the ToC has to change depending on the sheets selected. I'd rather write some code and give him an an easy command button rather then teaching him how to select non-concurrent sheets and printing only active sheets. What I'm really stuck on is the updating of the ToC with active sheets only (category and starting page which changes depending on pages selected).

Formula Referencing Multiple Tabs
I'm a bit over my head on this one. I want a formula that does the following: Look at the date I put in on the last tab and find the correct date on the other tabs. Using that date as the column I want it to return the correct row for the data.reference. I am using the HLOOKUP function. I'm not even sure this is the right function. Ont the workbook attached I'm trying to get the data on the Totals tab to come from the Sept Wk 1 through Sept Wk 5 tabs. The formula I tried to use is on the Totals page C7.

Referencing Another Sheet In Same Workbook
I have two sheets in the same work book and I want to pull values through from one to the other. So its a simple =Sheet2!B45 or whatever yeah? But no! What Excel 2007 does when I hit enter is to swap the Sheet!2 bit for "C:documents and Settingsmy documentsspreadsheetsmyworkbook!Sheet2!B45" or some such. Why the hell does it do that and how can I stop it.

Referencing Cells In Another Sheet
I need assistance referencing cells in other sheets. I have a summary tab which I would have each refenced sheet listed (named for the activity being billed). In a separate cell in the summary tab, I want to bring back the value of the total amount billed for that activity. The total value is in the same cell of each sheet, as all invoice tabs needing to be referenced are identical in layout. There is one hitch to this, the sheets referenced have not yet been created (that would be too too easy), and the activity list in the summary sheet has place holder names that will change when the activity being billed is defined (hence prompting the biller to create the sheet to be referenced).

Formula Referencing Previous Sheet
After a formula to copy the contents of a cell in the previous sheet in a workbook, so that if I was to copy the last sheet in a workbook the formula would automatically reference the cell from the copied worksheet and so on if I copied tht one. Hope this makes sense I have a lot of formulas referencing the previous sheet and everytime I copy this sheet to create a new sheet I have to change the sheet number in the formulas. eg, in sheet 8 this formula get info from sheet 7 cel J30 ='7'!J30 when i copy the sheet to create a new one (Sheet 9) I would like the new formula to automatically be ='8'!J30.

Vlookup - Referencing Sheet Index
I am trying to find out whether it is possible to reference to a sheet index number, instead of sheet name, in a VLOOKUP formula. For instance, normally I would write: VLOOKUP(A1,'ExampleSheet'!A1:B10,2,False) (I hope got the translation to English language Excel correct) Let's say that the sheet index of Examplesheet is 2 (at least it is 2 the way VBA sees it). Is there a way I could reference sheet number 2 in the VLOOKUP formula, instead of its name? My sheet names vary, but the formula should look in the same area, regardless of name.

Referencing Cells Dependent On Sheet Name
I have a workbook that has a number of sheets with various project stages and dates on them. These details are arranged in small tables displayed vertically down the page. Each worksheet's name is the project code - e.g. 30033_99 I have now been asked to create an overview page that displays all these stages and dates on one page. What I'm trying to do is get Excel to look at the column with the project code and then pull information from the worksheet with that name.

I'd like for users to click in a cell in col A in a sheet named "Period7", have the cell value placed in cell C11 in a sheet named "Per7Report," and change the focus or active sheet to sheet Per7Report. Can this be done simply by clicking in a cell, or must a command button be inserted into each cell (note - odd rows only) in col A in Period7. on the code to do this? Note that there is a formula in col A in sheet Period7

Referencing Sheet Code Names By Variable
I have a set of worksheets (Sheet31 through Sheet49 by codename) produced by a machine in the lab. I want to create a summary sheet that references cells in those worksheets. Rather than go through the annoyance of doing this manually 40+ times I'm working on creating a macro to populate the summary sheet for me. This is what I have so far For J = 31 To 49 ResultSht = SheetJ.Name Sheet1.Activate ActiveSheet.Range("A4").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).Select It hangs up on the "SheetJ.Name" however. My objective is to be using the object SheetJ, where the object SheetJ is the codename of the results sheet I'm trying to reference (for example, in the first pass through the loop it would be Sheet31). Could someone point out my mistake in this object reference?

#REF! Error Referencing Worksheet After Importing Sheet
I have a template i'm making that is full of formula references to sheets not yet in existance in the workbook. what i want to happen is this: My code imports data files, renames the tabs to 1, 2, 3, 4... The formulas i already have are set in the CONCATENATED tab.... an example of such a formula is: ='1'!$P2. so this should work, and yet it doesn't. the sheet is imported as it should be, the tab is renamed to 1, and yet the CONCATENATED sheet still shows #REF for the cell value. if i click in the cell, click in the text bar and enter out, the formula updates. there apparently is no option that i KNOW OF (although i'm sure there is something out there that does...) that will update this without me entering into the text bar and entering out. Question: how do i manually update all references once the sheets to those references have been imported?

Sheet Tabs Count
I know excel has a built in function for this. But it won't do what I need for this below. Say, I have 9 worksheets open. In cell N7 on sheet 1 I need it to count the worksheet tabs. But the dilema is to only count the tabs that will equal sheet 1, sheet 2, sheet 3, sheet 4, sheet 5, Notice, I have a space before the number. Other sheets have a specific names to them which I do not want to count. So if sheets 1 thru 3 are visible with the other named sheets visible cell N7 will count 3

Have hidden the sheet tabs on the 2003 sheet and can not find the option in 2007 to make them visible again. I realise I can ctrl-pgup and pgdn but I got a fair bit of movement from sheet to sheet to do and that wont be practical.

2000 Sheet Tabs Missing
I am pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. Any help at all is greatly appreciated. I created a spreadsheet for a friend to track his profit/loss for his business; he is not very computer literate so I created separate tabs for each month. I have no idea what he did but the horizontal scroll bar and all of the tabs are not visible, he is using excel 2000 on windows XP. Unfortunately we are not in the same area so I can’t go look at his screen. When he emailed the file back to me and I opened it, it looks fine. Also when he opens any other file it does the same thing. I have gone through all of the obvious causes, everything is correct in the tools, options.

Automatically Rename Sheet Tabs
I have a workbook with multiple tabs. On sheet one a person chooses a date to initialise a formula. That date is then copied to sheet two and placed in cell D5. The date is projected out for two weeks and then the next fornight starts on sheet three and so on. The start date for each new fortnight appears in cell D5 of each sheet. I want that information to be the name of the tab for sheet two, three etc. I have put this code into the "This Workbook" section: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) ' Renames all worksheet tabs with each worksheet's cell A1 contents. 'If cell A1 has no content, then that tab is not renamed. For i = 1 To Sheets.Count If Worksheets(i).Range("$D$4").Value "" Then Sheets(i).Name = Worksheets(i).Range("$D$4").Value End If Next End Sub I have also tried: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Address = "$D$4" Then ActiveSheet.Name = Left(Target.Value, 10) End Sub I then go back into sheet one and change the date and nothing happens. I seem to be missing something. Can anyone please help?

Consolidate All Of The Tabs In The Master Sheet
I have a file that will have a maximum of about 25 tabs in it. They are all the same format - Column A have account codes, Column B have the account name and Column C through to Column AD have figures. Column B has a drop down menu, so not all tabs will have the same account code on the same row. I thought that I would create another spreadsheet in the file and call it a master sheet with the same formats as all the other tabs but this master file will have all of the account codes available and will not have a drop down menu in column B. What I wanted to do was consolidate all of the 25 tabs in the master sheet. Example Worksheets TAB 1 Acc Code Desc Amount 1________a___10 2________b___10 TAB 2 Acc Code Desc Amount 1________a____10 2________b____10...........

Count Sheet Tabs Based On Color
I have a worksheet with like lots of color coded tabs and the tabs increase everyday. The tabs are categorized based on 6 colors. I created a first tab in order to give how many tabs i have another each color. Is that doable in excel. Do I need a macro for this. All I want is each time i open the excel sheet the first tab will be automatically updated with how many tabs I have under each color instead of me counting the tabs.

Merge Data From Many Many Tabs (worksheets) Into A New Sheet
Basically I inherited a Excel Workbook which has 128 different tabs, unsurprising this is almost impossible to manage. My requirement is to merge all of the 128 tabs into 1 tab 'Sheet1'. The macro should keep going even if there are blanks, it should move onto the next tab only when there are over 10 consecutive blanks in Column B. I have tried searching the forum but nothing seems to cater for the specifics of this case. I would really appreciate some help. I mean really, i am in a mad panic thinking i will have to do 128 tabs manually otherwise.

Copy Rows From Multiple Tabs Into One Sheet
I am looking to write a macro that will take 5 sheets and paste the rows into 1 summary tab. The names of the sheets are, CMH, ORD, JFK, LAX, and MIA. There are other sheets in the book but I don’t want any information from them. The five sheets have the same columns. I want to paste only the rows of the last entry for Origin and Forwarder. I have enclosed an example. So in rows 2 & 3 we have the same Origin-Forwarder combo but I only want the most current which would be row 3. Some Origin-Forwarder just has one entry so of course I would want that one.

Macro To Load All Files Within A Folder To New Tabs With File Name As Sheet Name
I wish for a macro to look in to a directory which remains constant, but then looks within a folder which is specified via a cell value in order to load a specific sheet from each file in to the workbook I am currently using. I wish for the loading to be done without having to open the workbooks manually, so something which opens them copies the data from the sheet specified and then closes. This data is then to be pasted in to a new sheets within my workbook which are named after the file names that it pulls the "dump" sheet from. As a side note, I will be using these sheets to produce calculations hopefully automatically as soon as they are loaded. They all have the same "shape" but contain differing data. Will it be easier in the long run for me to use this method of pasting data to new sheets named as their file names assuming there will be around 25 "dump" sheets needing to be loaded or would i be better having them paste all to one sheet just underneath each other with a couple of rows separating them?

Click Button To Rename Sheet Tabs Based On Range
I searched a few times for the answer to my problem, using different search terms, but I've come up somewhat empty (this *might* be because I'm not up-to- speed with Excel's terminology?). Anyway, my problem is this: I have a workbook which is designed to track various data for a corporate training course ( sheets for attendance, grades, tool logins, etc). After all of these are sheets numbered 1-25 (we never have more than 25 students in a class, but usually around 20). The numbered sheets correspond to the student's number in the on the class list sheet (so, the first student would have personal "report card" information on sheet 1; the eleventh student in the class list would have their information on sheet 11, etc). What I would like to do is have some way of putting a button on the class list sheet which would look at student list and rename the sheets to correspond to the student names. For example, if the fifth student listed was 'John Doe', it would rename his personal sheet ('5') to 'John Doe'. Obviously, I would need to do it for all of the students, and IDEALLY it would then get rid of any numbered sheets which are not used (having 21 students would only rename the first 21 sheets, but then hide sheets 22, 23, 24, and 25).

Macro - Rename Only & Sheet... & Tabs With Last 8 Characters From Cell
I pull an excel sheet from a database each day that gives me sales data for different products sold. The way the spreadsheet comes from the system, the first tab is named "Document Map" and lists all of the products, and each product then has its own tab but they're generically named (Sheet1, Sheet2, etc.). The name of the product is always in cell T8, but the name itself is only the last 8 characters of that cell. What I'm hoping to accomplish with a macro is two things: 1) Retrieve the last 8 characters from T8 in each tab, and name the tab with those characters (same effect as the formula "=right(T8,8)"). 2) Ensure that this only occurs on tabs with the word "Sheet" in the beginning. Depending on the day, there could be any number of products and they each get their own tab, so I was hoping to be able to get the macro to only work on sheets where the first 5 characters are "Sheet" regardless of the number after that.

Old Tabs Not Behaving Like New Tabs
I'm using Excel '03SP2 on Win 2000sp4. I believe I have a case where old tabs originally written in Excel ' 97 behave differently than new tabs in the same workbook, which is saved in 2003 format. Specifically, the formula ="PLAN" & budyr-1 where budyr is a named range on a different tab containing 2008 . This formula yields PLAN 2007 on a new tab and #VALUE! on an old tab. How do I get Excel to update the old tabs so that they behave as Excel 2003 tabs?

I have a drop down menu where the user can chose between a,b,c and d. I would like to use this further in a formula. The formula is defined by me, although I dont think its relavant. Lets say the drop down appears in B2, and I have got a formula called Test1(B2). However this retunrs me an error. The contents of B2 is in string format. - Test1(B2) does not work - Test1(a) does work (assuming a is what B2 shows) I would like to know how I can reference B2 as an argument in Formula, so it does not show error.

I am tryring to use different projected values to project other subparts of those units, which is done in the sheet mean needed weekly. Tje values are taken from projections. The answer that I get from mean needed weekly should be copied to a third sheet. This is the code that I am using right know, but I cant get the for loop to work (or more exactly to be able to place the "i" in my text without making compilation errors).

Referencing The Name Of A Worksheet
way to reference the name of a worksheet in a cell, or even better, use a cell reference to dictate the name of a worksheet. In other words, I would like to create a new sheet, and set it's name ='Sheet1'!C1 so that if I changed C1, the worksheet would automatically be renamed to whatever is typed in C1. If that is not possible, I would like to have a cell be tied to the name of a given worksheet, so that if I renamed the worksheet, the cell would change accordingly...similar to the &[Tab] function used in headers/footers.
