I thought I had this working but apparently not. I have 100+ worksheets in
my workbook, I need a macro which when run will rename each worksheet to the
worksheets cell AB1 (each worksheet will have its own cell AB1 which will
contain the text to be used as the worksheets name) and when it is done it
must return me to the worksheet which was active when called the macro.

Dim WS as Worksheet
for each WS in Worksheets
WS.name = WS.Range("AB1"=.value
next WS

Hi Patrick,

Try:

'=============
Public Sub Tester001()
Dim SH As Worksheet

For Each SH In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
SH.Name = SH.Range("AB1").Value
Next SH

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

Since no selecrions are made, the active sheet does not change,

Regards,
Norman

This does not seem to work. It runs through all the sheets but does not
rename them. This is what is found in cell AB1:

=TEXT($A$4,"dd mmm yy")

I did not referance cell A4 directly because it contained a formula to
arrive at the date.
