Second sheet named LOCATOIN-1,
Third sheet name LOCATION-2, and so on and so forth.
Now, in LOCATION-1 sheet, i need to put some data from the table (from "DATA" sheet, column "Location1"). I will take data as it is i mean i will use "=".
How to fetch this data for each sheet... kindly help
I think yo can simply use copy from DATA sheet , the paste in LOCATION-1 cell as link. Or you can manually type the address such
='DATA'!$I$105
where 'DATA' refer to sheet that contain source data,$I$105 refer to column I & row 105 which is a cell adress to be linked.
Quoting NAQAASH:
Sub SheetNames()
Columns(1).Insert
For i = 1 To Sheets.Count
Cells(i, 1) = Sheets(i).Name
Next i
End Sub
Please see the example within quotes to change the starting range.

I have a question but I don't know if it's possible or not.
I'm trying to make a workbook with a lot of sheets that are linked to one master sheet. All the relevant information will be copied from the master sheet to other sheets.
My question:
Each sheet will named as per employee. If I type all names into one cell in the master can it be copied to the tab (name of sheet)?
For example on the master sheet CELL D2 has 5 employees names and I will have 5 sheets titled with each employees names.
If it's not clear what I'm trying to say I will gladly send my workbook for review.
Many thanks for any help I receive.
First save your file than enter this formula anywhere
CORRECT METHOD IS :
=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,255)
How do i display multiple sheets name in respective cells (in list) in a single sheet only?
Can you please help me with the simple VBA code. I have a list of Names in Column A. Specific Range - (A2:A251) - Now I need to create new spreadsheets with these names. The names are driven from a different sheet, thus they keep changing. So in short, if I have 10 names today, they might not appear tomorrow. So on the click of button all older spreadsheets (except 1) should be deleted first and then from the names on the column, new ones should get created.
Please advice if this is possible to do?
Thanks,
Manish Gupta
