VBA to change Sheet names
Posted on 2016-09-14
I have a ‘Template’ spreadsheet with 31 tabs, 1 for each day of the month. At the beginning of each month we have to create a new file with each tab having the current months dates . Could an expert provide me with VBA code that will change each TAB to the current months dates.
i.e. For Sept we have 1 Sept 16, 2 Sept 16 etc so when we go into Oct we would need 1 Oct 16, 2 Oct 16 etc
Would it be possible to have a ‘pop-up’ that could ask “what month do you want to create” that would enable us to create the file prior to month end.
Also I need to clear any data in cells A3:L? and N3:R? [? Means all data below] on each one of the sheets with a date on.
Many thanks in advance

For Idx = 1 To NrDays

If this is being run from a template, can the template have just one sheet to copy the required number of times? Columns A and N on the template sheet can then be blank to start with.
Thanks

Thanks

Rob that is what they do today and seem to mess it up so I prefer a macro that will create the month for me. But thanks anyway.
