Hi All,

This is my current code to activate sheet based on the value in B6 than perform filtering and sorting.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Dim mainwb As Workbook

Set mainwb = ActiveWorkbook

mainwb.Sheets("AMSI-R-102 Job Request Register").Activate

mainwb.Sheets(Range("B6").Value).Activate

mainwb.Sheets(Range("B6").Value).Range("A8").Select

If (ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode And ActiveSheet.FilterMode) Or ActiveSheet.FilterMode Then

ActiveSheet.ShowAllData

End If

Range("A6:I6").AutoFilter field:=8, Criteria1:=Range("B6")

Range("A6:I6").AutoFilter field:=7, Criteria1:="In progress"

lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row

Range("A8:I" & lastrow).Sort key1:=Range("D8:D" & lastrow), _

order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo


End Sub



The cell B6 picks up username and opens tab with matching tab name than performs remaining code.

Currently if the username opening document does not have existing tab code spits out error message, how do I make code to check if “mainwb.Sheets(Range("B6").Value).Activate” is true otherwise stop macro and keep mainwb.Sheets("AMSI-R-102 Job Request Register").Activate?
 

Excel Facts

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
Try this on a copy.

VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()

    Dim mainwb As Workbook
    Dim usernameSheetName As String
    Dim targetSheet As Worksheet
    
    Set mainwb = ActiveWorkbook
    usernameSheetName = mainwb.Sheets("AMSI-R-102 Job Request Register").Range("B6").Value
    
    On Error Resume Next
    Set targetSheet = mainwb.Sheets(usernameSheetName)
    On Error GoTo 0
    
    If Not targetSheet Is Nothing Then
        targetSheet.Activate
    Else
        mainwb.Sheets("AMSI-R-102 Job Request Register").Activate
        Exit Sub
    End If

    If (ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode And ActiveSheet.FilterMode) Or ActiveSheet.FilterMode Then
        ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
    End If

    Range("A6:I6").AutoFilter Field:=8, Criteria1:=Range("B6")
    Range("A6:I6").AutoFilter Field:=7, Criteria1:="In progress"
    
    lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row
    Range("A8:I" & lastrow).Sort Key1:=Range("D8:D" & lastrow), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo

End Sub

Works perfectly :) Thank you!!
