How to Automatically Name Google Sheets Based on Week Numbers

Managing Google Sheets effectively can sometimes be a challenging task, especially when it comes to organizing worksheets dynamically based on certain values, like week numbers and their associated dates. If you've ever found yourself in a situation where you want your sheets to automatically reflect the current week's range, then you're in the right place.

In this guide, we'll walk through the process of creating a Google Apps Script that will rename your sheets according to the week number and date range, simplifying your spreadsheet management.

The Problem: Renaming Sheets Dynamically

Let's set the context:

You have a range of week numbers and their corresponding date ranges stored in a Google Sheets column (e.g., Week 1: 1/2 - 1/8).

You want to automate the naming of sheets based on the current week number. For example:

Sheet 1 should be named "Week 1: 1/2 - 1/8".

Sheet 2 should be named "Week 2: 1/9 - 1/15", and so forth.

However, your initial script is not functioning as expected, causing confusion and hindering your spreadsheet efficiency.

The Solution: Using a Google Apps Script

The solution to this problem lies in enhancing your existing script to dynamically create and apply sheet names. Let’s break down the necessary components of the script into manageable steps.

1. Creating the Date Class

First, we need a class to effectively manage date operations. This getDate class helps modify the JavaScript Date() object.

2. Creating Sheet Names

Next, we will need a function (createSheetNames) that generates the desired sheet names based on the specified year. This function calculates the first Monday of the year and creates names for each week.

3. Setting Up the Sheets

Lastly, we need a function (setSheets) that applies the generated sheet names to the existing sheets in your Google Sheets document.

How to Use This Script

Open your Google Sheet and click on “Extensions” “Apps Script”.

Copy the above JavaScript code and paste it into the script editor.

Save the script and give it permission to run.

Run the setSheets() function.

This one-time action will rename all your sheets according to the week names and date ranges, providing a more organized spreadsheet.

Conclusion

By implementing the provided script into your Google Sheets, you can save time and remove the hassle of renaming sheets manually according to week numbers. With just a few lines of code, your sheets will automatically update their names to reflect the current week, allowing you to maintain a tidy and functional spreadsheet.

Feel free to tweak the code to fit your specific needs, and happy spreadsheet managing!
