Default Worksheet Names using Macros

To add more sheets simply tack them onto the bottom of the existing
list, select the new ones and run this macro.

NOTE: Do not select existing names or blanks cells.

Sub Add_More_Sheets()
Dim rCell As Range
Dim Rng As Range
Set Rng = Selection 'select just added names in column A
For Each rCell In Rng
With Worksheets.Add(after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count) )
.Name = rCell.Value & "-" & rCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
End With
Next rCell
End Sub

As far as changing sheet names how many and what would you change the
names to?

Hard to tailor something like that. Probably better done manually
unless you want to change a great lot of them at one go.

Give me an idea of what renaming would consist of.

NOTE: If you do rename a sheet the INDIRECT formulas you dragged down
column D will not have to be edited..............they will pick up the
new name.

Add the sheets macro.

Assumes the names are in Sheet1

Sub Add_Sheets()
Dim rCell As Range
Dim Rng As Range
Set Rng = Range(Cells(1), Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp))
For Each rCell In Rng
* * With Worksheets.Add(after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count) )
* * * * .Name = rCell.Value & "-" & rCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
* * End With
Next rCell
End Sub

Formula to go into D1 on Sheet1

=INDIRECT("'" & A1 &"-"& B1 & "'!U8")

Hi I have 2 Columns in Worksheet....


A * * *B
201 *NEB
202 *NEB
203 *NEB
204 *NWB
205 *NWB
209 *NWB


Using formula or Macro how would I create and name new Worksheets
named after each Row i.e
201-NEB, 202-NEB 203-NEB, 204-NWB, 205-NWB, 209-NWB. Its simple to do
it manually from the above example, but what if I wanted to create 30
worksheets named after each row in Worksheet 1


Once I created a Worksheet...
Using Macro or Formula, How would I create a new Column in Worksheet
1,
which extracts value from a specific cell from each Worksheet using
the
Columns above.


I attempted using the formula below but with no joy.....
="=""'"&A3&"-"&B3&"'"&"!"&"U8"


This result only returns '='203-NEB'!U8 not the value in Cell U8- Hide quoted text -

Thanks Gord
The Macro only works for an existing list, what if I want to update
or add to that list to rename or create more worksheets
