automatically numbering worksheets

[Guest]

I know this can be done, I just don't remember how. I hope someone can help me. Here is the situation: I have a workbook with approximatley 30 to 40 worksheets. One worksheet is a template spreadsheet. For the other worksheets I copy the one template into the other worksheets which I number. For example 100, 101, 102,.....and so on. Therefore, the names of the worksheets are 100, 101, 102..... The question is, how do I tell Excel to automatically number these worksheets and also to automatically number a certain cell in each worksheet to correspond to the number name of that particular worksheet. Thank you in advance to anyone that can help me.

Hi
for getting the worksheet name into a cell use
=RIGHT(CELL("filename",A1),LEN(CELL("filename",A1))-FIND("]",CELL("file
name",A1),1))

For the auto-naming by number enter 100 down to to 140 in Column A of first
sheet.

Run this macro.

Sub NameWS()
'name sheets with list in A1:A40 on first sheet
On Error Resume Next
For i = 1 To 40
Sheets(i).Name = Sheets(1).Cells(i, 1).Value
Next
End Sub
