How to Use a Worksheet's Filename in VBA for Excel Sheets

Managing Excel spreadsheets can sometimes become complicated, especially when you start working with multiple sheets that need meaningful names based on specific cell values. If you’re doing this through VBA, you might run into a common problem: how to reference and change the names of multiple sheets dynamically based on the filename stored in a specific cell.

In this post, we’re going to tackle a specific VBA coding challenge: how to take the filename from a specific cell in a worksheet and use it to rename other worksheets. Let's dive in!

The Problem

You want to copy three sheets from another workbook. Your main requirement is to rename these sheets according to the filename indicated in the cell R11 of the Cover sheet. However, when trying to reference the previous sheet's filename for renaming, you run into some difficulties.

Your Current Code

The initial code snippet provided was trying to accomplish the task but fell short in referencing the filename correctly for the other two tabs in your workbook.

Here's an excerpt of the relevant part of your code:

You might have realized that when you’re on the second sheet, referencing the cell directly isn’t feasible; hence the need to adequately store and utilize the filename.

The Solution

To solve this, we can store the value from Cover!R11 into a string variable and then use this variable to rename the other sheets. Below is the revised, easy-to-follow approach:

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Declare a Variable:
First, declare a string variable to store the filename value.
