Rename Sheet tabs from list......
 

I've read every posting I could find for renaming sheet tabs, but haven't
stumbled upon a solution. I want to take a list on a worksheet and from that
list (in sequential order A1-A100), rename every tab in the workbook. Is this
possible?

Sub reNameSheets()
Const listColumn As String = "A"
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim SheetCount As Integer
Dim listStartingRow As Long
SheetCount = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
listStartingRow = 2
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.Name < "Sheet1" Then
Worksheets(ws.Name).Name = Range(listColumn & i).Value
SheetCount = SheetCount + 1
listStartingRow = listStartingRow + 1
End If
Next
End Sub

Maybe something like:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim iRow as long
with activesheet
for irow = 1 to .cells(.rows.count,"A").end(xlup).row
sheets(irow).name = .cells(irow,"A").value
next irow
end with

End with



This could fail if you have invalid names in column A and/or there are duplicate
names or sheets with the same name already existing. Or if you don't have
enough sheets!

Most simply, and assuming the list of new sheet names is on the active
sheet and that the sheets to be renamed are those in the active
workbook

Code:
--------------------
Sub x()
Dim i As Long

For i = 1 To ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Count
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(i).Name = ActiveSheet.Cells(i, "A").Text
Next i
End Sub

--------------------

More rigorous code would first check for duplicates in the list of
names, check for valid sheet names, and work around renaming sheets that
have a name conflict with sheets yet to be named.
