    How to name Excel worksheet based on min-max in column

    I have a workbook with several worksheets. Col C (in all sheets) contains various dates (mm-dd-yyyy). I would like to name the various worksheets using the last 2 digits in the year portion of the min & max dates.

    sheet 01-05, sheet 02-11, sheet 17-17, etc

    Can that be done?

    Hi

    Welcome to board !!!

    give this a try. In a standard module

    Code:
    Option Explicit
    
    Sub kTest()
        
        Dim WkSht       As Worksheet
        Dim lngMin      As Long
        Dim lngMax      As Long
        
        For Each WkSht In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
            With WkSht
                lngMin = Application.WorksheetFunction.Min(WkSht.UsedRange.Columns(3))
                lngMax = Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(WkSht.UsedRange.Columns(3))
                If lngMin * lngMax Then
                    .Name = Format(lngMin, "yy") & "-" & Format(lngMax, "yy")
                End If
            End With
        Next
        
    End Sub
    Cheers !

    Thanks. That does exactly what I ask for. But . . . I asked for the wrong thing.

    I apologize for not stating the situation more clearly.

    This workbook contains worksheets for various "categories" (Apples, Oranges, Bananas, etc) as well as worksheets for historical info for these categories. So I need the names to be "Apples 11-15", "Apples 16-17", "Oranges 01-05", "Bananas 09-16", etc. That is, yy-yy appended as a suffix to the existing names.

    It also will be useful at times to be able to change only 1 sheet name, instead of all the names. In fact, after the initial mass renaming, this will probably be most useful.

    try

    Code:
    Option Explicit
    
    Sub kTest()
        
        Dim lngMin      As Long
        Dim lngMax      As Long
        
        
        With ActiveSheet
            lngMin = Application.WorksheetFunction.Min(.UsedRange.Columns(3))
            lngMax = Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(.UsedRange.Columns(3))
            If lngMin * lngMax Then
                .Name = Split(.Name)(0) & " " & Format(lngMin, "yy") & "-" & Format(lngMax, "yy")
            End If
        End With
        
    End Sub
    Cheers !
