I have a spreadsheet set up where the first sheet lists all of the worksheets that the workbook contains. All of the worksheets are hidden. Next to the name of each worksheet is a box that when clicked on makes a tick appear and the tab with the same name appears at the bottom. Users can select a number of worksheets from the list and only those tabs will become unhidden.

eg The worksheets are called IT, HR Telephony, Addresses, Team names. All of the worksheets are hidden so the only tab shown is the one containing the names. If I want to view both Adresses and IT I can click the box next to them and a tick appears in these boxes, the tabs then appear at the bottom of the screen.

I want to be able to change the names of the worksheets but as I didn't set up the macro (I'm assuming it was macro) and have no idea how to use these I don't know what to do.

Can anyone help or would it be easier to start from scratch? If so, how would I do it?
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Hi,

You need to simultaneously change the name of sheet in the macro as well

Right click the box "Check Box" >>>>Assign Macro>>>>Edit

It will take you to the VBA Editor Window.

You will find a code like
worksheets("Sheet1").visible = True

Just change the Sheet Name
