Click to expand...

To add-on a little for the above part ..

Try the sub below (paste in general module)
on a *back-up* copy of your file:

It loops through all worksheets (assumed identical structure)
and renames each sheet with what's in C2 [of each sheet], all at one go.

(It's assumed C2 will hold for example, text - different for each sheet,
and with no illegal characters, etc)

Sub RenameWS()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Activate
ws.Name = Range("C2").Value
Next
End Sub

Adapt the cell "C2" to suit ..
