Finding Sheets in a workbook

Posted by Niv on November 09, 2001 5:37 AM

I have a spreadsheet that has about 200 different sheets which constantly need to be accessed. Is there something I can do/create to enable me to go to them quicker than tabbing through each one.

You can right click the area with the four navigation arrows on it to bring up a list of sheets in your workbook and select it that way.

HTH,

With 200 sheets you may want a macro that jumps to the sheet by name, here one way to do it:

Sub getSheet()
On Error GoTo err99
str1 = InputBox("Enter Sheet Name", "Get Sheet")
If str1 = "" Then Exit Sub
Sheets(str1).Select
Exit Sub
err99: str2 = "Sheet name '" & str1 & "' not in the workbook."
MsgBox str2
Exit Sub
End Sub

I would assign this macro to a shortcut key, like 'Ctrl+g' to make it easier to run each time. Of course you must know the name of the sheet you want to go to, good luck.
