    Macro to Rename Worksheet Tab with Workbook File Name

    Hi all - I'm looking for either a simple or more complex solution.

    Simple: I'm looking for a macro to rename the Worksheet Tab in my workbook to the filename without the ".xls".

    Complex: I have about 220 1-sheet workbooks that I need to consolidate into 22 separate workbooks with 10 worksheet tabs each.

    For example, I have 10 separate workbooks with the file names as follows: ABC-Account1.xls, ABC-Account2.xls, ABC-Account3.xls....ABC-Account10.xls. Each of these workbooks consist of just 1 worksheet, tab named "Account Definite Production by "
    I want to do the following:
    - In each individual workbook, rename the Worksheet Tab to Account1, Account2, Account3....Account10 (remove the "ABC-"and ".xls")
    - Create a NEW Workbook with the file name "ABC" and 10 worksheet tabs Account1, Account2, Account3....Account10

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    SP

    Re: Macro to Rename Worksheet Tab with Workbook File Name

    Hi xladept - I attached 3 workbooks:
    - ABC.xls
    - ABC-Account1.xls
    - ABC-Account2.xls

    "ABC-Account1.xls" and "ABC-Account2.xls" are samples of the 220+ report that I currently have. "ABC.xls" is what I want to compile the existing reports into, so that I end up with 22 workbooks of 10 sheets each.

    Or, a simpler fix, is just a macro to rename the worksheet tab as the filename without the prefix "ABC-" and ".xls" so that I can select/move the sheets into a new workbook.

    Thanks for looking at this for me!!

    This routine depends upon there being just one worksheet in each book!

    Why not one workbook with 220 sheets??

    It works! Thanks!

    And it's only 1 sheet per workbook because that's how my SSRS parameters are set up- search account name with % wildcards. It's great when I just need 1 account's production, but a pain in the A when I need to pull multiple.

    Hi Sonyap,

    You're welcome!

    Consider using one book with the 220 sheets - you could, easily, set up a 221st sheet as an index and use a double click event to navigate between the index and the Account sheets.
