I am trying to create a function that will list all of my worksheet names,
one per row, on a summary page. I cannot seem to be able to link the title of
the worksheets to anything? Please help. If this requires some sort of macro,
please be very precise since i have no clue how to use VB. Thanks

You want a worksheet that uses hyperlinks that point at those other sheets?

David McRitchie has a macro that will build that table of contents worksheet:

I am not too sure what a hyperlink is but I just wanted to make a list of all
the worksheet names. This in in order to make a matrix with names of
different products in top row, and then the value assigned to each product in
each worksheet. Does that make any sense?

Thanks.

The hyperlink will mean you can click that cell and go to that worksheet.

It might be a nice feature of your table.

Here is a macro that will list all sheets onto a new sheet.

Private Sub ListSheets()
'list of sheet names starting at A1
Dim Rng As Range
Dim i As Integer
Worksheets.Add
Set Rng = Range("A1")
For Each Sheet In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
Rng.Offset(i, 0).Value = Sheet.Name
i = i + 1
Next Sheet
End Sub

If not familiar with VBA and macros, see David McRitchie's site for more on
"getting started".

In the meantime..........

First...create a backup copy of your original workbook.

To create a General Module, hit ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.

Hit CRTL + R to open Project Explorer.

Find your workbook/project and select it.

Right-click and InsertModule. Paste the code in there. Save the
workbook and hit ALT + Q to return to your workbook.

Run the macro by going to ToolMacroMacros.

You can also assign this macro to a button or a shortcut key combo.
