    Auto name & update worksheet tab name based on two criteria from another worksheet

    Good Afternoon,

    I want to automatically update certain worksheet tab names using two cell names from another worksheet. I would also like to know how to do it just off of one cell "Focus Areas" cell D (the date).

    For this example, I want the "Ingredients" and "Focus Areas" tab names to not change.

    All other tabs should change to the information in the "Focus Areas" D & E columns, for Example:
    First tab after Focus Areas: 1-24-24 Orientation
    Second tab after Focus Areas: 1-26-24 Base Sauces
    Third tab after Focus Areas: 1-31-24 Open Lab

    For just one cell it would be:
    First tab after Focus Areas: 1-24-24
    Second tab after Focus Areas: 1-26-24
    Third tab after Focus Areas: 1-31-24

    The "Dates" (column D) usually only change twice a year, but "Select Focus" (column E) will change more often, either way, I would like the tab name to automatically update with the changes.

    I was able to get it to work by referring to A1 on each worksheet, but it wouldn't update when I changed the date or the focus on the "Focus Areas" tab, I am guessing because the cell didn't actually change since it is a formula.

    I am not very good at VBA but was able to do the previous using it, thanks to the internet. Is there a way to do it without VBA? I would appreciate help either way.

    Thank you!

    You can't change worksheet names in this way without VBA - shall I move the thread for you?
