Hi Jacob - That didn't work. Any other ideas.
I put the code into the tab - right clicked the tabview codepaste .. and
entered 30/06/09 in A1 .. and the Tab name never changed

Thanks

Try the below macro which renames the activesheet to the month of date in A1

Sub Macro1()
Activesheet.name = Format(Range("A1"),"mmmm")
End Sub

If this post helps click Yes

Hi All,

Using Excel 2007

Can I name a worksheet tab from a cell contained within the worksheet. I
want to name a worksheet from the date contained in say A1 = 30/06/2009
(dd/mm/yyyy)
so the tab would be called 'June' from the month number in A1.

If so could someone give me either the function or the code to do this. If
it is code could also detail how to apply it, as I am not that familiar with
code.

Many thanks for taking the time out to respond.
