I am having trouble creating a macro that renames all excel sheets using cells on Sheet1.
See attached, I want to rename all excel sheets (renamed as "1", "2", "3"....."50") as "9999", "10000", "10001"..."10045", found in Sheet1, renamed as "Base". I will change the cell values everyday (range Base!A5 to Base!50) - and will rename all the sheets again.
Before: before.jpg
After: after.jpg
The macro below renames the current sheet to the cell value of D4:
Sub Rename_Sheet()
With ActiveSheet
.Name = Range("D4")
End With
End Sub
What can i do to the code above so that it will rename the sheet based on 3 cell values instead on only 1 value?
I want the end result to look like this with x's between the values:
D4xD5xD6
I'm looking for a solution that will rename the sheet to whatever is enterd into particular cell.
Ie: cell A1 = "Joe Bloggs", then the sheet is renamed to Joe Bloggs
Also, on the same sheet, is it possible to change the sheet tab colour based a data in a different cell?
Ie: cell B1 = "Parts", then the sheet tab colour changes to pink.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI receive a workbook each day with approx 500 tabs of call data and I would like to relabel all the tabs with the user names. The user names are in a merged range "A7:M7". I'm having difficulty getting the following script to rename the sheets. Currently the values in "A7:M7" look like "User: ADAM ENGEMANN-558".
I am trying to delete each occurrence of "User: " while naming the sheets as well as removing the merged range before doing so that the names are in A7 only. The sheet names should look like "ADAM ENGEMANN-558", or, ideally just "ADAM ENGEMANN". For some reason my code will not modify the cells. (See attached example)
This works if I manually unmerge the cells before running and remove the ":".
VB:
Sub RenameSheets2()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.Range("A7").Value <> "" Then
[Code] .....
This his how I modified it but it doesn't work on the supplied sheets. Please note that if I manually insert some blank sheets into my workbook and merge the cells etc it does work. There seems to be something odd going on with the sheets they are giving me. (they aren't protected)
VB:
Sub RenameSheets2()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.Range("A7").Value <> "" Then
I tried adding the following to remove the merged ranges and remove 'User: ' from the names
Range("A7:M7").Select
With Selection
.WrapText = False
.MergeCells = False

I have a master sheet where users can change the name of 20 different sheets in the workbook by changing a cell value on the master sheet. Here is the code:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rCell As Range
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
[Code]....
The next step which I am having issues with is hiding the sheets. I want all sheets in the workbook to be hidden except for the master. I only want the other sheets to be visble if the user inputs a name on the master sheet.
So if the cell contents on the master sheet, say "B9", is blank, the sheet in the workbook that corresponds to that cell will remain hidden. If the user inputs anything, say "Sheet1", in cell "B9" on the master sheet, I want that sheet to become unhidden and to be named "Sheet1"
Can a macro rename Excel files based on a cell's contents? The problem maybe that I download these files en masse from a website and they all have 54-character long randomly generated filenames which I can rename by selecting all and then use the rename function to get a series of filenames like a, a(2), a(3), ... but I would rather have the files renamed based on the text that exists in cell B1 which is the title of the report. I also read somewhere that this kind of macro only works if the tabs have names like "Sheet 1"
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using the following VBA to auto-name sheets in my workbook based upon what's in cell A2. However, in cell A2 I have the following formula: =B2&" - F&V Expenses". My problem is that I want the sheet to be renamed when I change what's entered into cell B2 and not necessarily what's in cell A2. Is there something I can do to my current VBA that would have it realize that the value in cell A2 really did change because I updated cell B2?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A2")) Is Nothing Then
On Error Resume Next
Me.Name = Range("A2").Value
If Err.Number 0 Then
MsgBox "Error in Renaming"
End If
On Error Goto 0
End If

Say you have a userform with 10 TextBoxes, let’s call them TxtN1…TxtN10 and your workbook has 10 sheets, say “Sheet1”…”Sheet10”. Now if one wants to code a procedure to rename those worksheets when the user hits a command button it’s simple enough.
Sub Rename_click()
For i = 1 To 10
With Sheets(“Sheet” & i )
. name = TxtN & i
End With
Next i
End Sub
But now if the user then changes the textboxes TxtN1…TxtN10 to a set of new strings it’s obvious that the following coding segment will not work:
For i = 1 To 10
With Sheets(TxtN & i)
.name = TxtN & i
End With
Next i
It goes without saying that the program will try to select the worksheets with the new name (and they obviously don’t exist yet)…
i would like to copy a sheet to another sheet, rename, copy and paste special values. but after the sheet is copied to another, the macro stops working...?
Sheets("Proposal").Copy After:=Sheets("Proposal")
'rename...
ActiveSheet. Name = "ProposalEmail"
ActiveSheet.Copy
ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, operation:=xlNone, skipblanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
I have a spreadsheet that I enter daily totals into. The sheet is named by date.
I take totals from a number of catagories from the prior day's sheet (ending totals) and enter them on the current sheet (beginning totals), then enter the current day's totals to wind up with new ending totals.
I want to generate a new sheet in the same workbook based on the date of the prior sheet, copy my formatting, and copy the data from the old ending sheet totals to the new sheet beginning totals.
I have a macro which does the following:
1) Copies Sheet2 for each name on the list. Sheet1 has the list of names (cells A5:A10)
2) Renames each sheet with the next name on the list
3) In each of the copied sheets in cell A2=newsheetname
Sub Copy_Sheets()
Dim i As Integer
Dim wks As Worksheet
Set wks = Sheets("Sheet1")
For i = 5 To 10
[code].....
This works like a charm for this particular list. The thing is, I want to take this macro and apply it to a variable list. In one instance the list may be in cells A5:A10, and in another instance it may be in cells A5:A100. How can I update my macro so it looks for the next name in the list and stops when there is no longer a name.
I'd like to split up the rows in a worksheet based on the values in one of the columns. Also, I'd like the sheets to be named after the values in the column. I have attached example excel sheets to explain this better. I think the vlookup and Sheets.Add and ActiveSheet.Name formulas can be used but I'm not quite sure how to put them together. The actual data has about 20 columns and about 500 rows.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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).
I've been working on a macro that makes copies of a template sheet based on a table in my Opps sheet. If column B isn't empty, make a copy of the template sheet, rename it to Opps column A, and then hyperlink column A's current A.row to the newly copied and renamed sheet.
I'm not sure what is wrong exactly, it keeps making duplicate Template(x) and stops renaming them, and the hyperlinks are not working. -This is my first go at VBA hyperlinks to internal workbook sheets
[Code] .....
I'm trying to copy the a name from cell X2...JohnDoe and rename the current sheet with the contents of X2. I'm using the following code and getting my sheet named as "True"
Sub SheetName()

' SheetName Macro

Dim ShName As String
ShName = Range("X2").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets.Add.Name = ShName
End Sub
I found a post to name a sheet using the cell value with VBA but is there a "formula" in Excel that will do the same? I'm wanting only to use the first 10 letters of a cell.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a macro to rename tabs based on information in A1 on each tab. The thing that is causing me issues is the cell A1 has a formula in it and it changes on a daily basis with days of the week but the tab only updates when i double click A1 and press enter.
I need it to update automatically.
Is it possible to write a macro that will rename a worksheet based on the value of the cell?
For instance, if cell a1 has the value Test, the worksheet should be named Test. If I change the value of the cell to say Test 1, the worksheet should automatically rename itself to Test 1.
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.
find a code which will rename each tab to equal the content of cell - A2 for example.
This is in a workbook containing one sheet for each week of the year, thus starting 04/01/2013 ( I am in England so 4th January 2013.)
I have found many replies, but all seem to produce errors. As they are several years old, could this be because I am using Office 2010?
What I'm trying to do is from a template worksheet that I have in a workbook with other worksheets, I'm trying to come up with code that will create a new worksheet based on the template (copy), increment the invoice number, and rename the worksheet tab to be "Invoice # xxxx" (new invoice number from prev. step.).
I have figured out how to use a button on the template to execute, but as I said my VBA skills are lacking to say the least.
I have a macro attached with attached file; it will list the files then will re-name the files based on other cell
example;
Cell A2 = New.mp4
Cell B2 = ggffrr.mp4
so the file New.mp4 will be renamed to ggffrr.mp4.
it is working fine but the location will be always desktop or documents location
i need from the macro to rename the files and to keep them in the same location.
I have 5 sheets. In the first sheet I have set up 4 cells where I want the contents of them to automatically rename the other 4 corresponing sheets.
Eg.
In Sheet 1, Cell B6, I want the contents (which will be text) to be the name of sheet 2 automatically.
In Sheet 1, Cell B7, I want the contents (which will be text) to be the name of sheet 3 automatically.
I have a workbook that filters the data on the worksheet "Reports" this then adds new worksheets and copies and pastes the relevant data that has been sorted, this is done by the name in column "B".
What I need is to rename the new worksheets with the data that is in cell "B2" of the new sheets.
Using excel 2010.
I am building a workbook. The data we are tracking is all in one xml file, which i have mapped to 3 different worksheets(customers, invoices, inventory). On the customers and inventory sheet I have an interface for creating a new customer/product/invoice. I used the macro recorder to make the macro's to do these three things, but could use help on a couple of other functions as I don't actually know VBA. I need to be able to automate editing of existing records by having a button to press on the each sheet that will open an input box that asks the user which invoice number, customer number or product number he would like to edit, then copy that record to the interface for editing, then another macro to replace the existing data with the newly edited data. It would also be wonderful if when creating or editing an invoice it could create a copy of the interface worksheet and rename it as the invoice number. The first row of each datasheet is blank, and each of the interfaces have formula's for importing the information copied to row 1 from the data tables. the second row of each datasheet contains formulas for importing data from the interface. Any help would be terrific...I know you guys are excel gods and I will forever be in your debt if you can help me out....thanks in advance, I'll be studying my butt off until I figure this out
How to do this:
I have many sheets called;
Input Jan
Input Feb
Input ....
Meaning 1 for each month.
I have another sheet where I want a formula that can
..............................................JUL
CapEx.................................... EBITDA...............................EBITDA %
"=('Input Jul 2014'!$BI$3)/1000"
The "Jul" which stand for July, it is possible to have a formula where I can have certain text in a formula that is based on the value in B1 (In this case, B1 being JUL in bold writing.)
Like this;
=('Input &B1 2014'!$BI$3)/1000
Or must I manually go in and replace all formulas for each month?
i want to update values fon an excel sheet on a month by month basis. So i have jan to dec folders and excel sheets under each folder , i want to update my monthly forecast sheet based on the numbers in the folder I want to just change the cell in my monthly forecast sheet to Jan or Feb and the values should be pulled from the closed excel files in the monthly folders. I tried concatenation but it gave me #REF .. Is there a way to do it other than using "pull" ??
