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 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
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.
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"

Example: IF A1 = "time sheet" then sheet1 is then re-named to "time sheet"
I tried recording a macro to add to a new worksheet, but it gives error while running.
Issue as I understand is, by default excel gives a new worksheet a name (Say Sheet 4), and when u run macro worksheet, new created name may be different.
I need to have many users press a button within the excel sheet that duplicates the form from the current page, opening a new tab (copying the form) that also prompts to input a specific name e.g. "Enter date and day or night shift" to name the tab itself.
I have just worked out how to put a Command Button in and used the above code to create the new page assigning the code to it.
I need the "my sheet" to be prompted and customisable.
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.

Here are more details (Please check the attached sheet screenshot as well):

In a workbook, there is a "Master-Sheet". This master sheet contains 8 columns.
I want to create as many new worksheets after master sheet as the values are there in column B (Column 2 i.e. Ad Group). In above attached screenshot, there are 8 values (B2:B9 or A-H). So, I would like to create 8 new worksheets after the master sheet. Also, I want to rename them based on their value from Ad Group column.
Each newly created worksheet should have same columns as the master sheet . Same 8 columns with their name intact.
Finally, I want all matching data of the Ad Group values to be placed on their respective newly created worksheet. For example, worksheet A should have A2:H2 data. Worksheet B should have A3:H3 data, and so on.
Please note that same ad group may have more than one row data. But I don't want to create multiple worksheet of same name ad group. The worksheet should be just one, but all matching data should be placed in that one sheet.
I know it is a bit complex task, but I am sure there would be a way to perform this automatically - probably a macro.
I have renamed worksheets according to a cell value in the same worksheet, but now I need to rename the worksheet according to a cell value in another worksheet.
Here is the code I tried:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
If Sheets("Set-Up Page").Range("B2").Value "" Then
'rename the worksheet to the contents of cell B2
Sh.Name = Sheets("Set-up Page").Range("B2").Value
End If
End Sub
I have pasted that code into the worksheet that needs to be renamed, but it doesn't work. I have also tried:
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = Sheets("Set-up Page").Range("B2") Then Sh.Name = Target
End Sub
I like the first one because it checks for a blank value. There will be blank values depending on how many worksheets each teacher needs, so it will just rename the ones that have values filled in. Each worksheet will have the code referencing to a different cell on the Set-Up Page worksheet.
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 working with a workbook that has data automatically entered each time a new child is enrolled to the program. The child's data is automatically entered to the sheet named "Intake". What I need to do now is rename that sheet using the child's name as the sheet name, but also keep the sheet named "Intake" for the next entry. I would then like to sort the sheets alphabetically but leaving the "Intake" sheet either as the first sheet or the last sheet. I have attached an example of the workbook I am working with.

Is there a way I can also get it to also rename the sheet from the default "Book1" to the information in a referenced cell.
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.
I 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.
I 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
[Code] ......

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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat 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'm looking for a way to rename an object (which is an image) based cell values. Not to sure where to start.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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 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"
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.
I would like to create a macro/vb code that will unhide a worksheet if cell value is greater than zero, or hide the worksheet if the cell value is zero.
I'm not too familiar with VB code and was wondering if this is possible? I have my doubts, since it means that the code must constantly be running in an endless loop, checking to see if the value has changed?
I have 2 worksheets. Sheet1 has a list of data (Range = "ClosedOpps"); Sheet2 has a Region dropdown list with Domestic and International as choices. What I would like to happen is when I pick a value in the dropdown list, ClosedOpps list filters by that value. Region is the 5th column in Sheet1.
