Script for Multiple Files
Hi all,
I need to change the first sheet name of multiple (100+) files. Can I do this automatically without opening all the files? The name could be the same for each sheet such as 'Sheet 1'. Thanks in advance. Neil |

Hi Neal
See the basic code here http://www.rondebruin.nl/copy4.htm Change the name of the sheet in the macro below mybook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Name = "YourNewName" And fill in the folder where the files are 'Fill in the path\folder where the files are MyPath = "C:\Users\Ron\test Sub Example() Dim MyPath As String, FilesInPath As String Dim MyFiles() As String, Fnum As Long Dim mybook As Workbook Dim CalcMode As Long Dim sh As Worksheet Dim ErrorYes As Boolean 'Fill in the path\folder where the files are MyPath = "C:\Users\Ron\test" 'Add a slash at the end if the user forget it If Right(MyPath, 1) < "\" Then MyPath = MyPath & "\" End If 'If there are no Excel files in the folder exit the sub FilesInPath = Dir(MyPath & "*.xl*") If FilesInPath = "" Then MsgBox "No files found" Exit Sub End If 'Fill the array(myFiles)with the list of Excel files in the folder Fnum = 0 Do While FilesInPath < "" Fnum = Fnum + 1 ReDim Preserve MyFiles(1 To Fnum) MyFiles(Fnum) = FilesInPath FilesInPath = Dir() Loop 'Change ScreenUpdating, Calculation and EnableEvents With Application CalcMode = .Calculation .Calculation = xlCalculationManual .ScreenUpdating = False .EnableEvents = False End With 'Loop through all files in the array(myFiles) If Fnum 0 Then For Fnum = LBound(MyFiles) To UBound(MyFiles) Set mybook = Nothing On Error Resume Next Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(MyPath & MyFiles(Fnum)) On Error GoTo 0 If Not mybook Is Nothing Then On Error Resume Next mybook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Name = "YourNewName" If Err.Number 0 Then ErrorYes = True Err.Clear 'Close mybook without saving mybook.Close savechanges:=False Else 'Save and close mybook mybook.Close savechanges:=True End If On Error GoTo 0 Else 'Not possible to open the workbook ErrorYes = True End If Next Fnum End If If ErrorYes = True Then MsgBox "There are problems in one or more files, possible problem:" _ & vbNewLine & "protected workbook/sheet or a sheet/range that not exist" End If 'Restore ScreenUpdating, Calculation and EnableEvents With Application .ScreenUpdating = True .EnableEvents = True .Calculation = CalcMode End With End Sub -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "Neil" wrote in message ...
