Default How can I name Worksheet Tabs based on some king of reference?

Forget about that now; I'm getting fancier. I saw that you gave someone code
to Create Tabs based on a list; and simultaneously have those new Worksheet
be a copy of the Original "Master". This is that Code: But it hasn't worked
for me! Can you test it and help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Assuming Master sheet is named "Master" and has a list in A1:A100

Sub Copy_Sheet()
Dim rCell As Range
For Each rCell In Sheets("Master").Range("A1:A100")
ActiveSheet.Copy After:=ActiveSheet
ActiveSheet.Name = rCell.Value
ActiveSheet.Range("B2").Value = rCell.Value
Next rCell
End Sub

Each new sheet will be a copy of "Master" with a new name and have that sheet
name in B2

What is "doesn't work"?

It is meant to run automatically on a calculated change in C2 value.

Did you place the code into the sheet module?

Did you check out the google search thread?

The code you have chosen is a regular macro and requires you to to run manually.

Gord,
Thank You! Actually this exact one didn't work; but in searching through
these forums - I found & used this:
Sub wsname()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Name = ws.Range("B4").Value
Next ws
End Sub
But, in doing so, recognize and salute you as a true 'Excel MVP'

Yes

Basic event code in the worksheet module would be.................

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Me.Name = Range("C2").Value
End Sub


But I would suggest you check out this google search thread for various sets of
event code from Dave Peterson that cover several scenarios.
