Hello, I've looked for a post on this and in Excel help but drawing a blank.
Hoping one of you might have an answer for me.

Is there a formula that will insert the value on spreadsheet tab into a
cell€¦.or vice versa - the value in a cell into the tab?

For instance, I would like to put a name in cell A2 and have the tab for
that worksheet be the same as whatever the value in A2 is.

Hope that makes sense.

Regards,

Christine

Hi,

You need code for that. Right click your sheet tab, view code and paste the
code below in. If you type a legal filename into A2 the sheet is re-named.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count 1 Or IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub
If Target.Address = "$A$2" Then
On Error Resume Next
ActiveSheet.Name = Target.Text
End If
End Sub
