Set wrkSheet_Temp = Worksheets.Add(before:=Worksheets("MySheet2"))
Set wrkSheet_Temp = Worksheets.Add(before:=Sheet2) Note all the samples yield the same result:
#Excel vba insert new sheet and rename it code#
The code below add a sheet before sheet2 and names it “MySheet4”. Note all the samples yield the same result:Ĭall Worksheets.Add(after:=Worksheets("MySheet3"))Ĭall Worksheets.Add(after:=Sheets("MySheet3"))Ĭall Worksheets.Add(after:=Worksheets.Item(3))Ĭall Worksheets.Add(after:=Sheets.Item(3)) Creating and Inserting Sheets Before a Specific Sheet ( :=Before): In the following examples I will assume I have 3 sheets, with the attributes below:Ĭreating and Inserting Sheets After a Specific Sheet ( :=After): You might need to consider locking the workbook from such changes. This may cause error in your code if you are referencing sheets using their index. Note: Keep in mind that the user can change the order of the sheets. They are referenced using the sheet index through the WorkSheets collection: You could also reference a sheet using the sheet index and the WorkSheets collection. In the picture above the indexes and sheet names are as follows:īy moving the sheets around the indexes will also change. The index value depends on the order of the sheets. Sheet Index:Įach sheet is associated an index value, starting from the value “1”. You might need to consider locking to workbook from such changes. This may cause errors in your code if your program references sheets using their name. Note: Keep in mind that the sheet name could be modified by the user. The syntax for referencing sheets using their name is Sheets(“Sheet Name”) and Worksheets(“Sheet Name”). Worksheets("MySheet2").Range("A1") = "some data" Sheets("MySheet1").Cells(1, 1) = "some Data" They are referenced using the sheet names through the WorkSheets collection. In the example below there are 3 sheets with the names “MySheet1”, “MySheet2” and “MySheet3”. You could also reference a sheet using the sheet name and the WorkSheets collection. Method 3: Unlike the sheet object variables name which could only be changed using the property window, you can change the sheets name programmatically:Īfter making the change to sheet1’s name, we will have:
Method 2: Renaming the sheet using the panel at the bottom of the workbook: In order to change the sheet name there are 3 methods: The values in the parenthesis:īelow you can see the sheet object’s names and the sheet names: You could also see the sheet names using the project window. The sheet names are the values shown in the bottom panel of the excel workbook:Īs you can see this workbook has three sheets with the names “Sheet1”, “New Name for Sheet3” and “Sheet2”. Note the only way to modify the name of the sheet objects variable is through the property window in the VBA editor:Īs you can see in the table below Sheet2‘s object’s name has been change to Object_Sheet2:īy changing the name of sheet2‘s object to Object_Sheet2 the same line of code above will become: To reference cells and ranges using the sheet object directly you could follow the sample codes below: The table below shows the variable associated with each sheet: The highlighted part in the figure below shows the name of the sheet objects variables: To figure out what variable references each sheet you could use the project explorer in the VBA editor. The address of each object is stored in a variable. Referencing Sheets by Using the Sheet Object Directly:įrom an object oriented programming perspective, each sheet is an object.
