Hi All,

Does anybody know how I can automatically name the sheets of a workbook
based on the contents of a cell. For example, if I have the word January in
Cell A:1, I would like the Sheet name to be January. If I change January
to May, I would like the sheet to automatically update and rename itself to
May.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,
Try:
'==================
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rng As Range

Set rng = Range("A1")

On Error Resume Next
If Not Intersect(Target, rng) Is Nothing Then
If Not IsEmpty(rng) Then
Sheet2.Name = rng.Value
End If
End If
On Error GoTo 0

End Sub
'<<==================

Regards,
Norman

If you want it for all sheets in a book, try
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "A1"

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Sh.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
If .Value < "" Then
Sh.Name = .Value
End If
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'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
