Saving Worksheet "Name" in a Macro
Hi. I have the following code (from a macro):
Worksheets.Add.Name = Format(Date, "mmm dd yy") Sheets("Next List").Select Range("A1:A25").Select Range("A25").Activate Selection.Copy Sheets(Name).Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False Sheets(Name).Select I'm a beginner in VB and Macros ... how can I "store" the name of the new worksheet I've created so I can select the right worksheet for the PasteSpecial command? Any and all help will be appreciated! Cindy |

hi
use variables. Dim nam As String Worksheets.Add.Name = Format(Date, "mmm dd yy") nam = ActiveSheet.Name Sheets("somesheet").Select Sheets(nam).Select variables are not stored permanently. when the sub finishes, all variable are cleared from memory. regards FSt1 "ckrogers" wrote: Hi.

It's not always best to refer to a worksheet by name.
You could use a worksheet variable that represents that new worksheet: Dim NewWks as worksheet Dim NextListWks as worksheet set nextlistwks = worksheets("Next List") set newwks = Worksheets.Add with newks .Name = Format(Date, "mmm dd yy") nextlistwks.range("a1:A25").copy .range("a1").pastespecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, _ SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False end with ===== I pasted into A1 of that new worksheet. Your code pasted into whatever was the activecell in that worksheet's activewindow. ckrogers wrote: Hi.

When you add a worksheet it becomes the activesheet. You don't need all those "Selects". Just use the values from "Next List" and place them into the new sheet. Sub add_n_copy() Dim ws As Worksheet Worksheets.Add.Name = Format(Date, "mmm dd yy") ActiveSheet.Range("A1:A25").Value = _ Sheets("Next List").Range("A1:A25").Value End Sub Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Fri, 28 Dec 2007 12:58:01 -0800, ckrogers wrote: Hi.
