I have a workbook with a hundred sheets.

I want each sheet in the workbook to be named by reference to the value of cell A1 in each sheet.

How can I do this.

What script/code do I need and where do I paste it?

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Press ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor, select Module from the Insert menu and paste into the white space on the right

Code:
Sub NameSheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
    With ws
        .Name = .Range("A1").Value
    End With
Next ws
End Sub
.

Press ALT + Q to close the code window, Tools > Macro > Macros, click on NameSheets and click the Run button.

Thanks much. It worked like a charm.

VoG, I have another post title "Sorting an Array Formul" .. would you have a solution to that?

Thanks again.
