Rename Every Tab In Workbook?
Jan 10, 2014How can I convert this code so that it steps through each sheet in the workbook and renames them to the Value that is in its Cell "M1"?
Sub RenameTab()
ActiveSheet.name = Range("M1").value
End Sub

I want to open an existing workbook, make a copy, rename the copy only and have it remain open and retain the original workbook unchanged and not open.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook that pulls in data from other sources and contains 15 linked sheets. The data changes when different criteria is selected in the first sheet. The first 2 sheets are summary sheets and the tabs are named correctly.
I would like to be able to rename the remaining 13 tabs using labels found in the cells in the first sheet. These tabs should update or change when the first sheet is manually recalculated (F9).
I have used ActiveSheet.Name=Range("A1") but it doesn't apply in this case. Is there a macro that could run with something like Sheet1.Name=Range("A1"), Sheet2.Name=Range("A2"), Sheet3.Name=Range("A3"), etc.... or maybe something in each sheet that would change the name of the tab to a specific name off sheet 1 when the whole workbook is recalculated?
Is it possible to rename a new workbook without saving it. What I do is I create a new workbook but I don't want to save it:
Sheets("Layout").Copy
Now Sheets("Layout") is standing in a NEW workbook called Map1.xls.
I want to rename Map1.xls to Invoice.xls without saving the workbook.
Then I do:
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSendMail).Show
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False
had a look and the closest I could find was Renaming Or Removing Workbook which doesn't quite do what I am after. I am writing an add-in that creates a new workbook, grabs data from sybase to populate the workbook and then formats it as required. What I want to do is rename this workbook something meaningful, but without saving it.
The reason is that many people will end up using the add-in and will want to solve their cut of the results in various different location. The link above is along the lines, but is looking for a previously saved workbook, where as the workbook in question has yet to be saved.
So I guess the two option are to
1. Rename after the workbook has been created
2. Add the workbook with a specified name
but I can't find either methods out there.
I have an electronic meter (Fluke AirCheck) that provides me with reports in the form of excel documents. I need to combine those documents and have a page/worksheet that contains a legend and some notes etc. for reporting to management.
Given:
I have a folder with nearly identical workbooks. All contain 4 worksheets:
Document map
Sheet2
Sheet3
Sheet4
Goal:
1. Copy and combine, either specific sheet(s) or all the sheets from multiple workbooks into a new workbook (with prompting)
2. Rename the worksheets as the workbook file names and existing worksheet names combined.
Example:
Workbook name is "101B.xls"
Worksheet 1 would be = "101B - Document Map"
Worksheet 2 would be = "101B - Sheet2"
Worksheet 3 would be= "101B - Sheet3"
Worksheet 4 would be= "101B - Sheet4"
Results thus far:
Okay so I managed to find a script that does most of what I need:

For renaming the worksheets I have tinkered with:
[Code] .....
But alas none of that works. I can also only copy 1 sheet at a time currently.
Another issue which seems to have reared its ugly head in the copy and paste function as the text on my new worksheets is white on white when the originals are black text on white. I can select the new worksheet and select all cells and hit "Automatic" on text and it fixes it but that's a pain on 100+ worksheets. So I need some sort of copy /paste special command, I think to make that work too.
I have a need to simply rename a workbook without saving. I have a master template named "IR QT" but, within the workbook, I run a macro that saves the file with content from a cell as the filename. After the 'Save' macro is executed, the sheet stays open, as planned, but obviously the file has been renamed. What I would like to happen at the end of the 'Save' macro is for the sheet to be renamed (not re-saved) to "IR QT". I just need the VBA code to put at the end of the 'Save' macro to do the rename back to "IR QT".

I am getting the error from the title of the thread when I try to change a worksheet name.
This worksheet name doesn't already exist in the workbook and I don't have any other files currently open.
I'm not entirely sure what is causing this, but I do need the sheet to be the name I am trying to change to.
i wanted to have a macro that will rename the IDs @ col B that is unique and duplicate.
The rename will be add if it is 1st, 2nd, 3rd and so on...
Is it possible to have a macro to prompt the user for a tab name, check if it exists and if so copy it and ask the user for the new name for it to be rename to?

How would I code the Active Sheet to be renamed Sheet1?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI renamed a sheet and for some odd reason excel added .xls] before the name of the sheet. So the name was now .xls]Sheet 1. I tried to rename the sheet again to get rig of the .xls], but the program didn't allow it and said that I "entered an invalid name". Now when I'm trying to make links to cells on this sheet, excel says that my "formula contains ans ivalid external reference to a worksheet". The worksheet is now unusable and copying the sheet and updating all the links on other worksheets is a lot of work.

Pat 010810
Dan 010810
Max 010810
Ann 010810
I would like some method (maybe VBA?) that I can rename the subsequent tabs, having the same names but the date with a seven day increment; i.e.the next tab would show Ann 011510, etc.
I don't know how to code, but can get to the VBA page and copy really well.
I just copied and modify this code; What I want is to add sumting on the file name, without changing, file path, original file name and file extension
Say : I get the file
D: DocsMemo.docx
I can paste it to the fnpath with a changed filename
C: \_Temp Memo_BPMC-0001.docx
Heres the code

View 2 Replies View RelatedFrom my research on trying to apply this function, I have peiced together several codes and am unable to get my end result. I want to add a worksheet and rename it with text formula on my main "Macro" sheet from cell D1. The name in cell D1 is a date that changes based on a formula. I can get the macro to add the worksheet but then it stops at renaming it:
Sub NewTab()

I need to rename the sheet5 with the value in E3 of Sheet2.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet titled "master plan" with many columns of data. I want to create many tabs based on this data.
One tab I want that just has the data from columns C, F, A, E, G and L (in that order) Starting with the header data in row 2. And titled "LOB".
Then I want a different tab for each unique item in Row C with these same columns (C, F, A, E, G and L from "master plan" tab or A, B, C, D, E and F from new "LOB" tab). The tab name should be the unique row C value.
So for example, say that there about 20 rows where 'A' is in column C, about 30 with 'B' in column 'C' etc .... There should be a tab with the name 'A' with those 20 rows of data and a tab with the name 'B' with the 30 rows with B and so on.
I also would prefer not to have to delete the existing 'A' and 'B' tabs every time before recording the macro so if it can either create a new tab or replace an existing tab with that name if it already exists.
To make things a little more difficult.. for the (in this example) 20 items with an 'A' in column C, there are (at this time) 3 different possible items in column B of 'master plan'. I'd like to create 3 separate tabs for each unique value in column B and I want the name to be dependent on the data in Column B (for example, the three unique items in column B with a column C of 'A' are Red, Green and yellow. I want three new tabs set up for each and the tab names to be: if B = Red, then tab name = 'Stop', If B = Green, then tab name = 'Go', if B = Yellow, then tab name = 'Slow'.
I have something that partially works, but I have to create the 'LOB' tab first and it doesn't work if any of the sheets already exist. And it doesn't do the Red, Green, Yellow part.
Here is what I currently have:
Sub DeptTabs2()
Dim strSrcSheet As String
Dim rngSrcStart As Range
Dim rngSrcEnd As Range
Dim rngCell As Range
Dim strLastDept As String
Dim intDestRow As Integer
On Error GoTo ErrHnd

I run a report each month which renames the tab name called ex. "xxxxx Report 8". The 8 meaning for the month of August. I have created a macro to rename the tab, but each month when i generate the report the tab name change, hence i would have to change my macro again to reflect the tab name. What formula could i use in VBA to change the name of tab so i would not have to change my macro each month?
I currently use as shown below, which does not work since the number changes each month when i generate the report):
Sheets("xxxxx Report 8").Select
Sheets("xxxxx Report 8").Name = "Monthly Report"
I have a worksheet named "TEMPLATE", it's codename is Sheet10.
I want to rename "TEMPLATE" using the codename for the worksheet.
How would I go about doing that?
I am receiving a the 'Rename Sheet' dialogue box when I double left click on a tab? Normally, it will allow editing in the name of the tab, not a pop up.

I need a code that will compare A1 to see if there is any duplicates, and if there is i need it to see if the name is = or greater then 10 characters, if so i need it to be reduced to 9 and then have a "1" added to the name. then if there is 3 with the same name i would need it to add a "2" to the next one.
so the end result of the forumla would be
A2= abcdefghi1
B2= abcdefghi2
C2= abcdefghij (this one is left alone)
I have 20 sheets in the workbook. 10 sheets are named YR1, YR2, etc. Once the user enters information on sheet "Assumptions" - names are setup and linked onto each YR page. So user enters CY10, which links to cell C5 on YR1 to show CY10.
I would like a macro that renames just the YR1, YR2, ....sheets, to CY10, CY11, .... I do not want any of the other sheets to change names.

Is it possible to have a macro re-name a worksheet. The context I want to use it would almost as a conditional formula.

I have a workbook with 52 worksheets.
6 are hidden, 46 are visible.
I am trying to move a worksheet to the end of the workbook and rename as the next sheet.
It works the first time I run it (it renames the worksheet to Client51, the new last worksheet) but after that it gives me a 1004 error 'cannot rename a sheet to the same name as another sheet...."
Here is the macro I am using:
Sub rename_client()
Dim NewName As String
ActiveSheet.Move Before:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
NewName = "Client" & Sheets.Count - 2
ActiveSheet.Name = NewName
End Sub
I have folder with 427 workbooks in, named TAB001.... TAB427.
These workbooks contain listed tables out of a bespoke apllication. Each workbook only holds one worksheet (which is named TAB001, etc corrsespoonding to the workbook name).
Each worksheet holds in cell A1 the name of the table
I want to rename each workbook to whatever is in cell A1. SO TAB001.xls becomes, say, Property.xls, and so on for all 427 workbooks.
I envisage a new workbook holdinga macro to do this?
