Tab Name

[GP]

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to create a formula that will tell me
the name of a particular tab in a workbook. I have many tabs and I
would like to have a summary tab at the beginning that lists all of
the tab names in the book without actually having to type the names.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thx!

Private Sub ListSheets()
'list of sheet names starting at A1
Dim Rng As Range
Dim i As Integer
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

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 Insert>Module. Paste the code in there. Save the
workbook and hit ALT + Q to return to your workbook.

Run or edit the macro by going to Tool>Macro>Macros.

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