GoTo Reference
Hello, Can someone tell me if it's possible to refer to a worksheet
generically, when using the GoTo function, so if the worksheet name changes, the code will still execute? For instance, I have the following: Application.Goto Application.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A154") If the the Sheet1 name changes, the process halts. Can Sheet1 be reference in a manner that regardless of the text within the worksheet label, the code will still take the user to range("A154")? Any and All Help is Appreciated - Thanks |

You can use the codename rather than the worksheet name
Application.Goto Sheet1.Range("A10"), True The codename of the sheet is listed in the project explorer (in the VBA Editor, CTRL+R to display). The code name will not change even if the worksheet name changes. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "MWS" wrote in message ...

you can use 'ordinal' values to refer to worksheets..
That is: Instead of Application.Goto Application.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range..... you can write Application.Goto Application.Worksheets(0).range **** You can use either the sheet label, or it's ordinal position(number) in the parenthesis.. **** BUT the number can be unpredictable.. Typically "Sheet1" is always the first worksheet in the workbook (** the first sheet is sheet Zero, etc) I use this method when processing exports that name the sheet different things..

Application.Goto Application.Worksheets(0).range
The Worksheets collection index is 1-based, so the first sheet is Worksheets(1) not Worksheets(0). -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "TomHinkle" wrote in message ... you can use 'ordinal' values to refer to worksheets..

Every sheet has a tab name and a code name. By refering to the code name you
eliminate the problem of changes made to the tab name. Try this... Sheet1.Select Sheet1.Range("A154").Select You can change the Code name of the Sheet in the properties window of the VB editor. The code name is the top item in the properties list. You can change Sheet1 to something a little more descriptive like shtIncomeStatement ... -- HTH...
