Code:
    'declare variables
    Dim combo As String                                                     'Combo worksheet name
    Dim SortTable As String                                                 'Table name that needs sorting
    
    'assign values to variables
    combo = Worksheets("Home").Range("Q5")                                  'string in cell Q5 of Home worksheet
    SortTable = Worksheets("Home").Range("R5")

    
    
        ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(combo).ListObjects(SortTable).Sort.SortFields. _
        Clear
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(combo).ListObjects(SortTable).Sort.SortFields. _
        Add Key:=Range("july18[[#All],[Date of work]]"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, _
        Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("July 2018").ListObjects("July18").Sort
        .Header = xlYes
        .MatchCase = False
        .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
        .SortMethod = xlPinYin
        .Apply
    End With

I am replacing all the references to July18 with a variable stored in a cell that has the correct reference to the table name. SortTable has the correct name in it and I have changed some of the references from july18 to SortTable but I wasn't sure how to change this line of code:
Code:
        Add Key:=Range("july18[[#All],[Date of work]]"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, _
        Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal

How would I change the july18 in the above code to reference the relative table name and not a fixed table name?
