VBA Script to Rename Tab Name to Whatever Name is in Cell A1
 

Just as the Subject Line says I need to automatically rename the Tab with the
contents in a particular cell. I think there is a way to do it using VBA
script but I am clueless.

Thanks

VBA Script to Rename Tab Name to Whatever Name is in Cell A1
 

Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and automatic to use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

Now try entering material in A1. If you have any concerns, first try it on
a trial worksheet.

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.


To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Range("A1"), Target) Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
End If
v = Target.Value
ActiveSheet.Name = v
End Sub

This is worksheet code, don't paste it into a standard module.
