I want to Rename sheets based on a cell value - but not for all sheets.

Copper Contributor

I have the VBA to rename all sheets:

 

Sub RenameSheet()

Dim rs As Worksheet

For Each rs In Sheets
rs.Name = rs.Range("B2")
Next rs

End Sub

 

But I don't want it to work on all the sheets. It should exclude the sheets I don't want like the first one.

Plus if there is a way to do that along with automatically updating the sheet name as soon as the value changes - that would be awesome.

In the Visual Basic Editor, double-click ThisWorkbook under Microsoft Excel Objects.

Copy the following code into the module:

Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
    Select Case Sh.Name
        Case "Sheet1", "Sheet2"
            ' Skip these sheets - modify the names as needed
        Case Else
            If Not Intersect(Sh.Range("B2"), Target) Is Nothing Then
                On Error Resume Next
                Sh.Name = Sh.Range("B2").Value
            End If
    End Select
End Sub

This version will skip Sheet1 and Sheet2. You can change these names as needed, and add others if required.
