Fine. If you are looking to change the sheet tab name as soon as you type in
a text in cell A1. try the below code. Set the Security level to low/medium
in (Tools|Macro|Security). Right click SheettabView code and paste the
below
code.

Change the text in cell A1 and see

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Count = 1 And Target.Address = "$A$1" Then
If Trim(Target.Text) < "" Then Me.Name = Trim(Range("A1"))
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

.................................................. .......

After copying and pasting the code into the sheet module, Alt + q to return
to the worksheet view.

Type something in A1 and see the sheet name change.
