Create a new Worksheet which name is yesterday's date

**Hugopellegrini** · 08-08-2012, 04:41 PM

Hi Guys,

I'm currently trying to write a vba macro that would create a new worksheet in an existing excel file. This new worksheet must be named: Deals [date of yesterday] apart from mondays, where the worksheet must be named Deals date of 3 days ago (the friday before the monday);

Here's what I've came up with:

But of course, it isn't working

I haven't had any classes on vba so the above must be full of mistakes. Please feel free to correct them, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot

It's working fine, thank you guys!
I just want to know if it is impossible to set the date format as dd/mm/yyyy rather than ddmmyy
Also, the sheet that is added doesn't come just after the 5th one but at the end. Do you know a quick fix to that?

Thanks a lot!

yes if it comes as dd/MMM/YYYY that would be great.

You can't have the date as dd/mm/yy as slashes aren't permitted in sheet names, but it could be set to dd-mm-yy. I've also changed the code to add the new sheet after the 5th sheet:
