VBA Worksheet change name
 

I wish to change the name of a worksheet (Which name can be varied) to
apredetermined name say Sheet1.

I particular wish this be done within a VBA statement. I have one macro
that affects several workbooks and consequently the worksheets will have
different names and I wish to use a one predetermined name to cover this
variation.

Thanks

You can rename the worksheet with code like

Worksheets("OldName").Name = "NewName"

If you want to get the new name from a cell value, use something like

Worksheets("OldName").Name = Range("A1").Text

How about using ActiveSheet in your code?

Or refer to the sheet codename

Worksheets(1) ignores the actual sheet name displayed on the sheet tab.
