Question

I have done a small project, which consists of 5 excel sheet in, code is working fine and I am getting exact result also, but if I rename sheets from sheet1 to some other name I am getting Subscript out of range Error.

What is the reason for this and what needs to be done to overcome this. Please help.

Below is the code

Public  Sub amount_final()

Dim Row1Crnt As Long
Dim Row2Crnt As Long


With Sheets("sheet4")
Row1Last = .Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
End With

Row1Crnt = 2
With Sheets("sheet3")
Row2Last = .Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
End With

There is nothing wrong with the code per se. You will get Subscript out of range error if Excel is not able to find a particular sheet which is quite obvious since you renamed it. For example, if you rename your sheet “Sheet3” to “SheetXYZ” then Excel will not be able to find it.

The only way to avoid these kind of errors is to use CODENAME of the sheets. See Snapshot

Here we have a sheet which has a name “Sample Name before Renaming”

So consider this code

Sheets("Sample Name before Renaming").Range("A1").Value = "Blah Blah"

The same code can be written as

Sheet2.Range("A1").Value = "Blah Blah"

Now no matter how many times you rename the sheet, the above code will always work 🙂
