Trigger macro when nr of sheets changes
 

Hi There,

I would like to trigger a maco when the nr of sheets in the active
workbook changes ...

Not: Private Sub Workbook_NewSheet(ByVal Sh As Object)

As this triggers only when a New ("Blank") Sheet is inserted.
But it should fire as well when I make a copy of an existing sheet(s).

Please?

Best Regards, Sige

Trigger macro when nr of sheets changes
 

Here's one technique

Option Explicit

Dim NumSheets

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
NumSheets = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_SheetDeactivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
If ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count < NumSheets Then
NumSheets = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count
'your code
End If
End Sub

'This is workbook event code.
'To input this code, right click on the Excel icon on the worksheet
'(or next to the File menu if you maximise your workbooks),
'select View Code from the menu, and paste the code

Hi Bob,

Thank you!
1. I am wondering though why it stumps when:
after adding 1 sheet ... you delete this one.

Private Sub Workbook_SheetDeactivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
If ThisWorkbook.Sheets.count < NumSheets Then
NumSheets = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.count
MsgBox "A sheet has been added/deleted"
End If
End Sub

2. I have a workbook with 2 sheets (1 veryhidden =infosheet to Enable
macro's). I do add sheets upon opening.
Though your "Private Sub Workbook_SheetDeactivate(ByVal Sh As Object)"
triggers already...

PS: Just for my curiosity: What happened to the "Purbecks"?

Oops.

1.A bit too fast ... : When deleting a sheet ...it triggers ...but
only when clicking another sheet first.

Try this alternative solution, and let us know if it causes any other
problems

Dim NumSheets

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
NumSheets = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Dim sActive As Object
If ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count < NumSheets Then
NumSheets = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count
MsgBox ActiveSheet.Name
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_SheetDeactivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Workbook_SheetActivate ActiveSheet
End Sub


The Purbecks clouded over :-))

Hi Bob,
It is working fine ...though still triggering with my hidden sheet upon
opening, while not any sheets added/deleted.

Here is the code...
Best Regards Sige

'***Workbook code:

Option Explicit

Dim NumSheets As Integer

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
SheetsShow True
NumSheets = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
SheetsShow False
ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
ThisWorkbook.Save
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Dim sActive As Object
If ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count < NumSheets Then
NumSheets = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count
MsgBox ActiveSheet.Name
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_SheetDeactivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Workbook_SheetActivate ActiveSheet
End Sub

'***Module:

Sub SheetsShow(blnState As Boolean)
Dim Sht As Worksheet

If blnState Then
For Each Sht In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
Sht.Visible = xlSheetVisible
Next
Sheet2.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Else
Sheet2.Visible = xlSheetVisible
For Each Sht In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Sht.CodeName < "Sheet2" Then
Sht.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
End If
Next
ActiveSheet.Activate
End If

End Sub

Thanks Sige. I still have three others we were working on when Frank's
accident happened which I really need to finish off.
