Is there a way to name a tab with some combination of 2 or more cells?
A1="first"
B1="last"
so, the tab name would be "firstlast".
also, can a space be inserted?...i.e. A1&" "&B2
I have a main worksheet with several hundred different categories. I need to separate them into individual worksheets. Instead of inserting a new worksheet and naming it manually, is there any way to automatically create and name each new worksheet with a cell reference from the main sheet - something to the affect of Name of WorksheetABC=WorksheetMain cell A4.

My 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: ...

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.

Is there a way to name a new tab without knowing its name. For instance, when I create a new tab, it could be named "Sheet2" or "Sheet3", but there is sometimes no way to know. Is there a way to edit the name of that new tab without refering to it by name?

I 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"
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.
Is there a way to name a sheet in vba? I am creating new sheets in vba, and renaming these tabs, but is there a way to actually rename the sheet (so that in the properties window it says (Name) "Demand" AND Name "Demand" Instead of (Name) Sheet1, Name "Demand"?
View 9 Replies View RelatedBasically 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.

how 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
A 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))"
