Default Automation Macro for updating formula when changing cell value

I have the following macro:
Sub Rename_Sheet()

ActiveSheet.Name = ActiveSheet.Range("M2")
End Sub
This macro will change the name of the sheet into what has been filled in
the cell reference.
Does anyone know how this can be done / run automatic when the Cell is
changed / filled in?

Thanks

Hi,

Try this
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$M$2" Then
If Target.Value < "" Then
ActiveSheet.Name = Target.Value
End If
End If
End Sub


Right click the sheet tab, view code and paste this in

Default Automation Macro for updating formula when changing cell value

Hi Mike,

Maybe you can help me with 2 other issues?

1 I have an protection build in through VB, because of the grouping option:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()

With Worksheets("Myself")
.EnableOutlining = True
.Protect Password:="DAF", Contents:=True, UserInterfaceOnly:=True
End With
End Sub

This protection is looking at the sheet "Myself" / relating to the reference
in my earlier issue. What would be the possibility to have this macro working
for all Sheets without referring to a name (because the name can change)?

2 The sheet have to be filled in per individu (some sort of appraisal) if i
want to have the outcome in a sort of summery (data base) for all the people
i can use formulas reffering to the sheets, but sheets will be added,
removed and changed, do you know a macro who automatically will update the
data base / summery when a sheet is filled in?

Thanks
