Question

This is my first excel macro (and first time working with VBScript), so it is most likely wrong, but I’m trying to go through each sheet in my workbook, and rename the sheet to the value of the sheets “A2” cell’s value. As the name says, the function isn’t doing anything when I run it. It is running however. Here is my code:

Sub RenameSheets()

   Dim WS_Count As Integer
   Dim I As Integer

   ' Set WS_Count equal to the number of worksheets in the active
   ' workbook.
   WS_Count = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count

   ' Begin the loop.
   For I = 1 To WS_Count

      ActiveSheet.Name = ActiveSheet.Range("A2").Value

   Next I

End Sub

Answer 1

Sub RenameSheets()

Dim WS_Count As Integer
Dim I As Integer

WS_Count = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count

For I = 1 To WS_Count
Dim WS As Worksheet
Set WS = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(I)

'Worksheet names can not be null
If Len(WS.Cells(2, 1)) > 0 Then

    WS.Name = WS.Cells(2, 1)

End If

Next I

End Sub
