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'm trying to create a copy of the active sheet and then rename the new copied sheet to what's in cell O4, which is a formula (see below) and then paste value cell O4 in B3 of the copied sheet. However, when I run this macro it doesn't seem to like the second line where I am renaming the sheet (run time error '1004').
"O4" =DATE(YEAR($B$3),MONTH($B$3)+1,DAY($B$3))
Sub NewMonth()
ActiveSheet.Copy Before:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
ActiveSheet.Name = Range("O4").Value
ActiveSheet.Range("O4").Copy
ActiveSheet.Range("B3").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
End Sub

Why do I get the error: "Runtime error 1004: Cannot rename a sheet to the same name as another sheet, a reference object library, or a workbook referenced by Visual Basic"?
And how do I fix it? I have a macros that someone else made (thank you) and I need to make the macros create anywhere from 5-125 sheets based on the information added in sheet 1. How can I do this whe it stops me after 5 or so with the error above.

I have about 100 products and each has its own sheet that I fill with data. Once I have finished with a sheet I rename it and create a copy and then hide the original and delete the entered data from before and start over.
Is there a way I can make it so when I hide a sheet it will automatically create a copy and delete a specific range?

EXAMPLE: Complete Sheet called "Day1". When day1 is complete you click on button and it then copies itself and creates and renames new sheet to "Day2", then when "Day2" is complete you click on button and it then copies itself and creates and renames new sheet to "Day3", and so on and so forth to "Day30".

What I'm looking to do is copy sheet named January, and paste into a new sheet naming it February, then in February copy and paste into another new sheet naming it March and so (but keeping previous months). My thinking was a pop up to name the sheet to copy then another to name the sheet that it's pasted in.

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 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 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.

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:
[Code] .....
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 am trying to use ActiveSheet.Name formula to rename the active sheet. It is only working part of the time and I can't figure out why. I do know, however, when it is going to work and when it is not going to work. If cell A2 contains two words, it does not work. If cell A2 contains only one word, it does work. Here is the code. The highlighted part in blue is the code that names the sheet. I have attached sample spreadsheet if needed.

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.

I 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
End Sub

I have a template sheet which i want to copy in to same workbook but want it to be renamed using a name which i fill in on a seperate sheet "articles". But I only want the template copied with the new name every time i fill in a new name in the sheet "articles". Also this procedure may not overwrite existing sheets.
So there is not a predipefined table in articles but rather it grows each time I need a new copy of template.

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?

I have code that prompts the user to open a specific excel file. However, with the following:
Filepath = "..."
name = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel Files *.xls* (*.xls*),",)
Workbooks.Open name
the default directory you start out in in the window that prompts the user to select a file is NOT ...
How can I properly assign which directory the user starts in so they need not go through 10 sub-directories everytime they run this code?

*Inserts an existing worksheet template and places it at the end (or after all) the existing worksheets.
What I would like the macro to also do is:
*Automatically rename the inserted worksheet (via my worksheet template) in sequence to the existing worksheets
Example: So let's say I have 3 existing worksheets titled Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3 (that's basically the default naming Excel uses). But would when I insert a new worksheet (via my worksheet template) it is shown as Sheet. And if I insert another one, it would be Sheet (2). So basically it is showing as such:
Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3, Sheet, Sheet (2)
What I would like the macro to do is automatically rename those last 2 worksheets (and any subsequent worksheets thereafter) in sequential order. Basically displaying it as such:
Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3, Sheet4, Sheet5...(and so on and so forth)

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'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.
