From a previous question, to dynamically rename a sheet based on a cell reference changing, you use this:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address(False, False) = "C3" Then ActiveSheet.name =
ActiveSheet.Range("C3")
End Sub
But this does not work if the cell ("C3") is in sheet 1 but is itself referencing a cell on another sheet - let's say C3 is referencing "A1" in "sheet 2".
How can you change the code so when you edit A1 in sheet 2, the name of sheet 1 automatically updates?
Thanks!
Add the code below in the Worksheet_Change event in "Sheet2" worksheet module:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
' only run the code if the cell being modified is in cell "A1"
If Not Intersect(Range("A1"), Target) Is Nothing Then
Worksheets("Sheet1").Name = Target.Value
End If
End Sub
Or place this code on Sheet1 Module...
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
On Error Resume Next
Sheet1.Name = Range("C3").Value
End Sub
Note: Sheet1 here is the Sheet Code Name.
So each time the value of A1 changes on Sheet2, the Sheet1 will be renamed.

I am trying to write a Macro that updates 4 Cell if the User select "Mailing" From Cell A1. If the User selects "Mailing" in A1, then Automatically update A2,A3,A4, and A5 to Value in B1. If the User selects something other than "Mailing", Then all four cells should be blank and the user should be able to type in any value. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
I have gotten this far, but VBA is not my thing:
Sub test()
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$A$1" And Target.Value = "Mailing" Then
Range("A2:A4").Value = "B1"
End If
End Sub
As the others have mentioned, you just need to put it to Sub Worksheet_Change. Note that if you are "typing" the word into cell A1, you will actually be in A2 after the "Enter".
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("A1").Value = "Mailing" Then
Range("A2:A4").Value = "B1"
End If
End Sub
The problem is you are trying to change the value of some of the cells in your code, so the code should run itself. You need to turn off events before changing the cell values and then turn it back on:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$A$1" And Target.Value = "Mailing" Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Range("A2:A4").Value = "B1"
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
I am trying to write a macro where i can equate the name of a worksheet to a cell value.
So far i have only been able to extract name of the worksheet and put it to a cell value.
Is there a way i can achieve the above?
Thanks
There is already a solution to this,
Follow this link
Credit to folks at Extendoffice.com
Pasting code here for reference, just follow the link you'll find details
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Set Target = Range("A1")
If Target = "" Then Exit Sub
Application.ActiveSheet.Name = VBA.Left(Target, 31)
Exit Sub
End Sub
You can easily achieve this with the Worksheet_Change event of the worksheet.
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'note that A1 here is the cell that contains the sheet name. Adjust it to your needs.
If Target.Address(False, False) = "A1" Then
Target.Parent.Name = Target.Text
End If
End Sub
Every time the value of A1 changes, the worksheet name changes accordingly.
Note this procedure has to be in a worksheet scope not within a module.
It can be useful to implement an error handling for not allowed or empty sheet names.
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'note that A1 here is the cell that contains the sheet name. Adjust it to your needs.
If Target.Address(False, False) = "A1" And Target.Text <> vbNullString Then
On Error GoTo ERR_NO_RENAME
Target.Parent.Name = Target.Text
On Error GoTo 0
End If
Exit Sub
ERR_NO_RENAME:
If Err Then MsgBox Err.Description, vbCritical, Err.Number, Err.HelpFile, Err.HelpContext
End Sub
I have a table called Table1
In Column B, I have the ticket number. e.g: 76537434
Requirement: when any change happens in any cell in column B, that cell (Target cell) to be changed into a hyperlink such that the hyperlink address would be example.com/id=76537434
Cell value i.e. 76537434 must remain the same
Add this event handler to your worksheet's code module:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column <> 2 Then Exit Sub
Target.Hyperlinks.Delete ' or Target.ClearHyperlinks to conserve the formatting
Me.Hyperlinks.Add Target, "http://example.com/id=" & Target.value
End Sub
The following Worksheet_Change event should be able to solve your problem:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim cell As Range
Dim tmp As String
If Intersect(Range("B:B"), Target) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
For Each cell In Target
If cell.Column = 2 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
tmp = cell.Value2
cell.Parent.Hyperlinks.Add _
Anchor:=Cells(cell.Row, 2), _
Address:="http://example.com/id=" & tmp, _
TextToDisplay:=tmp
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
Next cell
End Sub
Note, that you must copy it to the sheet and not into a separate module.
=HYPERLINK(E14&F14,"Name")
where cell E14 contains "http://www.example.com/id=" and cell F14 contains "76537434".
This soultions doesn't need VBA macros.
I found this code on google which can help me to change current tab name based on a cell value of this sheet. However, I have to run this macro code manually each time. How can I modify this code to make it change automatically after entering value in a cell or at least tab's name changes as typing. Here is the code:
Sub myTabName()
ActiveSheet.Name = ActiveSheet.Range("C3")
End Sub
place this in the sheet code pane
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address(False, False) = "C3" Then ActiveSheet.name = ActiveSheet.Range("C3")
End Sub
I have Excel workbook with 3 sheets. I want to use a macro which will select the same cell when changing sheets.
Example:
I am in sheet1 cell A3 when I switch to sheet2. I want A3 in sheet2 to be selected. Same thing when I switch to sheet3.
Is it possible?
I tried using events sheet_activate, sheet_deactivate, and sheet_change. The last one is surely wrong.
You were close. This uses a module-level variable to store the ActiveCell address any time the SheetSelectionChange event fires:
Dim ActiveCellAddress As String
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sh.Range(ActiveCellAddress).Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
ActiveCellAddress = ActiveCell.Address
End Sub
Here is a one-way example. If you start on Sheet1 and select either Sheet2 or Sheet3, you will stay on the same address as you were on Sheet1.
In a standard module, include the single line:
Public addy As String
In the Sheet1 code area, include the following event macro:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
addy = ActiveCell.Address
End Sub
In both the Sheet2 and Sheet3 code areas, include the following event macro:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
If addy <> "" Then
Range(addy).Select
End If
End Sub
I use the following macro to select cell A1 on all sheets within a workbook. I assigned this macro to a button on a toolbar. You can modify it to make it work for when you change sheets.
Sub Select_Cell_A1_on_all_Sheets()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error Resume Next
Dim J As Integer
Dim NumSheets As Integer
Dim SheetName As String
CurrentSheetName = ActiveSheet.Name
NumSheets = Sheets.Count
For J = 1 To NumSheets
SheetName = Sheets(J).Name
Worksheets(SheetName).Activate
Range("A1").Select
Next J
Worksheets(CurrentSheetName).Activate
