    Rename each sheet based on a piece of data on that sheet

    Hi I am trying to write a macro which will find the term "Asset ID" in column A on each sheet and rename that sheet to whatever the corresponding data is in column B.
    I have attached an example of the type of workbook I am working on, the "Asset ID" cell can appear anywhere on the sheet so a simple 'rename sheet based on value in cell X' is not applicable. I have this code which names the sheet based on whatever is on cell B3, is there a way to alter this to suit my purpose, I imagine it would involve a vlookup or something along these lines:

    Also this code only apples to the current sheet, can I alter this to work on every sheet in the workbook without having to go into each sheet seperately and running the macro?

    Thanks very much in advance,
    Michael

    Thanks for that.
    As you have mentioned I'm new on this forum and still getting the hang of it, and was unsure how to close off a topic
