Hello,

I found this usefull macro and mz VBA Editor gives me error: Expected variable or procedure, not module.

and Highlight Sheets("Index").Delete

Code:
Sub CreateIndex()
'updateby Extendoffice 20150914
    Dim xAlerts As Boolean
    Dim I  As Long
    Dim xShtIndex As Worksheet
    Dim xSht As Variant
    xAlerts = Application.DisplayAlerts
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    On Error Resume Next
    Sheets("Index").Delete
    On Error GoTo 0
    Set xShtIndex = Sheets.Add(Sheets(1))
    xShtIndex.name = "Index"
    I = 1
    Cells(1, 1).Value = "INDEX"
    For Each xSht In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
        If xSht.name <> "Index" Then
            I = I + 1
            xShtIndex.Hyperlinks.Add Cells(I, 1), "", "'" & xSht.name & "'!A1", , xSht.name
        End If
    Next
    Application.DisplayAlerts = xAlerts
End Sub

or here: Sheets.Add before:=Sheets(1)

Code:
Sub CreateIndex2()
Dim sheetnum As Integer
Sheets.Add before:=Sheets(1)
For sheetnum = 2 To Worksheets.Count
 ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add _
 Anchor:=Cells(sheetnum - 1, 1), _
 Address:="", _
 SubAddress:="'" & Worksheets(sheetnum).name & "'!A1", _
 TextToDisplay:=Worksheets(sheetnum).name
Next sheetnum
ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False
End Sub
Where is the problem ? Thank you
 

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Does this help?

Looks like a naming conflict?

NO.

I rename macro several times and I get the same error. :(

But when I Run the macro from Other file (.XLSM) then my PERSONAL.XLSB file the macro run normaly without error.

I have a lots of macros (200) in my PERSONAL.XLSB for creating or testing, so Somewhere have to be a thing which gives me the error ?

It sounds like you have a module called sheets in your Personal.xlsb file.
Change the name of the module & try again.
You should never use VBA keywords for Modules, subs, or variables as it can cause problems like this.
