Rename all existing worksheet tabs

[Guest]

I would like to take an existing workbook and rename all the worksheet tabs
at one time. For example, I might have ten worksheets with various names and
I'd like them all to be named USA1, USA2, USA3 and so on.

Can this be easily done with some VBA code? (I've seen some similar
questions, but none exactly like this one.)

Thanks.

Const sBase as string = "USA"
Dim i as long
Dim sh As Object

For Each sh In Activeworkbook.Sheets
i = i + 1
sh.name = sBase & i
Next sh

Bob:
Thanks so much for your quick reply! I tried it and it works perfectly.

Could it be set up so I could define the worksheet name before running the
macro? (by typing it into a cell or something like that)?

For example, one workbook might need to be USA1, USA2, etc. and another
might need to be CANADA1, CANADA2, etc.

Mike,

This will get it from A1 on Sheet1, change to suit

Dim sBase as string
Dim i as long
Dim sh As Object

sBase = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
For Each sh In Activeworkbook.Sheets
i = i + 1
sh.name = sBase & i
Next sh

Or more likely set up the prefix with an InputBox

sBase = Application.InputBox("Supply Prefix for worksheet renaming", _
"Rename worksheets", "USA")
If sBase = "" Then
MsgBox "Cancelled by your command"
exit sub
end if

sBase = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value

Don't like InputBox Dave, would much rather type in a cell. Too easy to make
a mistake, maybe not with USA, but easy with Kazakhstan.

Many thanks to you Bob, and David as well for such quick and informative
responses. This is the first time I've posted a question here and will
certainly continue to do so in the future!

I would like to rename just selected worksheets. Could a modification of this
code be possible?

 

[Bob Phillips]

Const sBase As String = "USA"
Dim i As Long
Dim sh As Object

For Each sh In ActiveWorkbook.Windows(1).SelectedSheets
i = i + 1
sh.Name = sBase & i
Next sh

Hello:

I would like to do this also. Is it possible to do without using VBA, but
simply a command in Excel?

 

[Dave Peterson]

There's not in Excel's user interface that would allow you do to lots of renames
all at once. You'd need a macro or do it manually (over and over).

 

[Guest]

I have a similar need, but wish to rename the tabs by referencing the same
cell on each worksheet that contains an invoice number.

 

[Dave Peterson]

One way:

Option Explicit
Sub testme01()
Dim wks As Worksheet
For Each wks In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
With wks
On Error Resume Next
.Name = .Range("a1").Text
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox .Name & " was not renamed"
Err.Clear
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End With
Next wks
End Sub

 

[Guest]

WOW! It's magic. Thank You Dave

One way:

Option Explicit
Sub testme01()
Dim wks As Worksheet
For Each wks In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
With wks
On Error Resume Next
.Name = .Range("a1").Text
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox .Name & " was not renamed"
Err.Clear
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End With
Next wks
End Sub
