Hello,

I am looking for some help, I have a spreadsheet that has 8 tabs, 5 of those I was looking to rename based on cell B14 in that sheet. I was trying something like this but I can't figure out how to have it select the correct B14 value and change only those tabs I need to rename. The current sheets are numbers, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Any ideas on how to adjust to accomplish what I am looking to do?

Sub tabname()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Worksheets
On Error Resume Next
If Len(ws.Range("B14")) >0 Then
ws.Name = ws.Range("B14").Value
End If
On Error Goto 0
If ws.Name <> ws.Range("B14").Value Then
Msgbox ws.Name & " Was Not renamed, the suggested name was invalid"
End If
Next
End Sub

It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.

The current sheets are numbers, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
You mean the sheet index, try
Code:
Sub tabname()
    Dim Cnt As Long
    
    For Cnt = 1 To 5
        With Sheets(Cnt)
            If Len(.Range("B14")) > 0 Then
                On Error Resume Next
                .Name = .Range("B14").Value
                On Error GoTo 0
            End If
            If .Name <> .Range("B14").Value Then MsgBox .Name & " Was Not renamed, the suggested name was invalid"
        End With
    Next Cnt
End Sub
