Do you mean name the cell or put the name of the worksheet in the cell?
If it's the second, visit Debra Dalgleish's site: http://www.contextures.com/xlfaqFun.html#SheetName missymissy wrote: Hi There All I need to know is how do I name a cell after a tab? i.e. cell a2 = tab name Is it me being silly or can you not do it? thanks in advance -- Dave Peterson |

Sorry not very specific,
I mean name the cell after the tab, for instance, if I opened a new workbook I could enter a formula which into cell a1 and the result would be: Sheet1 The reason I am asking this is because I import data from a bespoke database, the result is I end up with 100+ tabs each with thier individual name, I want to highlight all tabs, insert a column and name the cell after the tab? Are you with me? thanks "Dave Peterson" wrote: Do you mean name the cell or put the name of the worksheet in the cell?

cell a2 = tab name If you mean having the sheet name in the cell, one way is the formula: =MID(CELL("filename"),FIND("]",CELL("filename"))+1,255) You have to save the file before the formula can work. |

Maybe...
Option Explicit Sub testme01() Dim wks As Worksheet Dim NewName As String For Each wks In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets With wks .Range("a1").Value = "'" & .name .Range("e1").EntireColumn.Insert End With Next wks End Sub If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm just because I read the question wrong when I made the macro (sigh), this names the worksheet after the value in A1 (toss it if you don't want it). Option Explicit Sub testme01() Dim wks As Worksheet Dim NewName As String For Each wks In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets With wks NewName = .Range("a1").Value .Range("e1").EntireColumn.Insert On Error Resume Next .Name = NewName If Err.Number < 0 Then MsgBox .Name & " was not renamed!" Err.Clear End If On Error GoTo 0 End With Next wks End Sub missymissy wrote: Sorry not very specific, I mean name the cell after the tab, for instance, if I opened a new workbook I could enter a formula which into cell a1 and the result would be: Sheet1 The reason I am asking this is because I import data from a bespoke database, the result is I end up with 100+ tabs each with thier individual name, I want to highlight all tabs, insert a column and name the cell after the tab?

Hi, If you put this formula on more than one sheet, you may not get the individual sheet names, on each sheet. '=MID(CELL("filename"),FIND("]",CELL("filename"))+1,255) This you put this formula on more than one sheet, it will give you individual sheet names, on each sheet. '=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,255) Dave Jay Wrote: All I need to know is how do I name a cell after a tab? i.e. cell a2 = tab name If you mean having the sheet name in the cell, one way is the formula: =MID(CELL("filename"),FIND("]",CELL("filename"))+1,255) You have to save the file before the formula can work. -- Desert Piranha ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Desert Piranha's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28934 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=495216 |
