Rename Sheet With ActiveSheet.Name Formula

Oct 15, 2009

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.

Rename Sheet With Cell Value Using Formula?

Jun 13, 2002

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.

Delete Sheet After Activesheet

Sep 12, 2006

I wrote a macro on mac office 2004 which work perfectly on my pc but not on my mac.
The macro is very simple

Sub Delete_Next_Sheet()
ActiveSheet.Next.Delete
End Sub

It just delete the next sheet after the activesheet. However on the mac, it doesn´t recognize the Next. It display an alert mesage "Invalid or unqualified reference".

I was woundering if there is another way (as simple and as fast if posible) to get a macro avoiding loop and sheet.count to delete the next sheet after the activesheet.

Cannot Rename A Sheet To The Same Name As Another Sheet, A Referenced Object Library Or A Workbook Refernced By Visual Basic

Feb 2, 2010

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.

Macro Copy Of The Active Sheet And Then Rename The New Copied Sheet

Jul 30, 2009

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.

Sub NewMonth()

ActiveSheet.Copy Before:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)

ActiveSheet.Range("B3").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues

Macro To Rename Sheet Tab

Aug 24, 2012

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"

Rename Sheets - But Not Every Sheet

May 2, 2008

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.

Rename Sheet While Copying To New Workbook

Jun 12, 2014

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.

Excel Sheet Auto Rename

Dec 8, 2011

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

Automatically Rename Sheet Tabs

Nov 3, 2009

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?

Macro - Using Sheet Template Need It To Auto-Rename

Aug 2, 2008

*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)

Copy Sheet And Rename Based On Date

Dec 31, 2008

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.

VBA To Copy Sheet And Rename Based On A Table

Apr 22, 2013

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.
