 | Senior Member with 282 posts. | | Join Date: Jul 2004 Experience: Intermediate | | Solved: Excel - Resetting Tabs All at Once Hi, I copied an Excel workbook with individual tabs with the month and date. How can I reset the tabs all at once and clear alI data in the workbook? Example: Change all September tabs to October and clear all data in the workbook at once.
Thanks.

Looking through threads and I'm curious, why is this thread marked as Solved? Is your original issue actually solved or did you mistakenly mark it that way? If it is not solved, you certainly need to give us more information on what you are trying to do here exactly. The more specific you are the better the solution will fit. | | Distinguished Member with 6,294 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2004 Location: Southwest Iowa....

Oh, and Zack, can you post in KIBO code? | | Distinguished Member with 4,511 posts. | | Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Oregon, United States Experience: I'ma learnin'! | | If we're talking about the same KIBO... | | Distinguished Member with 6,294 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2004 Location: Southwest Iowa.... Experience: Currently stupid... | | Well, it is similar to political jargon.... 
Still code, of a sort...e.g. "bridge to nowhere" = (take your pick, depending on your persuasion) | | Distinguished Member with 4,511 posts. | | Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Oregon, United States Experience: I'ma learnin'! | | My initial impression was Knowledge In, Bull$..

The bottom tabs are the months of 2008. I want to use the same calendar but for a different purpose. I want to change the name of the bottom tabs all at once. | | Distinguished Member with 6,294 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2004 Location: Southwest Iowa.... Experience: Currently stupid... | | McBride, if you could be a little more clear - "I want to change the name of the bottom tabs all at once." Change them to what? All the same?
As for "clear all data in the workbook at once" (per your first post) well, that is really why I asked to see the file - not a picture of it. But most likely, if you clear all the data, you will get rid of things like the dates as well. It would appear that there are a large number of comments inserted as well. Given all that you want changed, why not just copy the formatting to a new sheet?

#10 | Well, a picture tells a thousand words, doesn't it? So, you want to start a new calendar year then, is it? How was your calendar created? Do you have a VBA routine do it for you? Via formulas? By hand? I have a hankering you're not just wanting to change the sheet names, are you? Unless you have a formula based system that looks at the sheet name (month & year) and populates accordingly... but I doubt it's that sophisticated. So, before we go any further and waste any of yours, mine, or anyone else's time, can you please describe for us in great detail what it is you are wanting to achieve here overall? | | Distinguished Member with 6,294 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2004 Location: Southwest Iowa....

#13 | But that's just part of the name...pets with one leg, pets with two legs, pets with three legs, pets with four legs...? (One never knows!) although pets with twelve legs seems unlikely.... | | Senior Member with 215 posts. | | Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Netherlands Experience: Never too old to learn! |
