Auto populating page tab names based on data on a control sheet

Is there a way to link the page tab so that the name changes if I change the reference on a control sheet?

e.g. page 1 has a control sheet with text in cell A1-A20

I want page 2 tab name to equal the text in cell A1, page 3 tab name to equal A2 etc,etc

Thanks in advance

We would very much like to help you with your query, however the thread title does not really convey what your request is about.

Please take a moment to amend your thread title. Make sure that the title properly explains your request. Your title should be explicit and not be generic (this includes function names used without an indication of what you are trying to achieve).

Please see Forum Rule #1 about proper thread titles and adjust accordingly. To edit the thread title, open the original post to edit and then click on Go Advanced (bottom right) to access the area where you can edit your title.

I see you have managed to change the thread title - thanks. I was about to do it for you, since you PMd me to say you were not able to.

Making a list of sheet names:

1. In Names Manager on the Formulas ribbon, create a new name called SheetNames and type this into the reference box at the bottom: =GET.WORKBOOK(1)&T(NOW())
2. In A1 type this and copy down: =IFERROR(INDEX(MID(SheetNames,FIND("]",SheetNames)+1,255),ROWS(A$1:A1)),"")
3. Save as a macro-enabled workbook.

You cannot do it the other way (i.e. control tab names) without more complex VBA - would you like your thread moved to the VBA section?

If that takes care of your original question, please select Thread Tools from the menu link above and mark this thread as SOLVED.
