Hi,
I have this code that worked in another program but now that I use it in a new one, it converts all the tab names to dates except for the last three ones. The only thing that I changed was the tabs number. The old one was from 11-22 this one is 9-20
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)    If Intersect(Target, Range("AB2")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim x As Long, y As Long
    y = 0
    For x = 9 To 20
        Sheets(x).Name = "Sheet" & x
    Next x
    For x = 9 To 20
    
        Sheets(x).Name = Replace(DateAdd("m", y, Range("AB2").Value), "/", "-")
        Sheets(x).Name = Left(MonthName(Month(Sheets(x).Name)), 3)
        y = y + 1
    Next x
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
The debug highlights this part of the code:
Code:
Sheets(x).Name = Left(MonthName(Month(Sheets(x).Name)), 3)
Thank you

The code has already changed that sheet name, what is the name of sheets(x) when the error occurs?
Also what is the error number & message?

The error message is telling you that you already have a sheet called Jan or Nov depending on your date format
