    Cool Naming a tab

    Here's probably the most embarrassing stupid question of the day:
    Is it possible to make a spreadsheet tab equal the title of a page automatically?
    I am setting up spread sheets for weekly expense reports and I want the tab to say the start of the week. There are 52 weeks and I'm getting tired of labeling them all.
    Thank you
    (don't laugh at me)

    Re: Naming a tab

    You can make the title of a page equal to a tab name, but I don't believe you can go the other way.
    If you select: Page Setup | Header/Footer | Custom Header | and select the 3rd icon from the right (Insert Tab Name) it will do it.
    You could setup a macro that would renumber the tab names at the beginning of the year.
    There is a way to put a cell value into a header but I think you need VBA code to do it

    Re: Naming a tab

    This can be done using VBA, I will move this thread to that forum for you

    (its not an embarrassing or stupid question, it actually makes a lot of sense to have this automated)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
