How To Make A Sheet Active In Excel Vba

How to Make a Sheet Active in Excel VBA

In Excel VBA, you can make a sheet active by using the Activate method. This method is useful when you want to switch to a specific worksheet programmatically within your VBA code.

Syntax:

Worksheets("SheetName").Activate

The Activate method is called on the Worksheets collection object, which represents all the worksheets in the workbook. You need to specify the name of the sheet you want to activate within the quotes.

Example:

Sub MakeSheetActive()
    ' Activate a sheet named "Sheet2"
    Worksheets("Sheet2").Activate
End Sub

In the above example, the worksheet named “Sheet2” will be activated when the macro is executed.

Alternatively, you can also use the sheet index number instead of the sheet name.

Sub MakeSheetActive()
    ' Activate the second sheet
    Worksheets(2).Activate
End Sub

In this case, the second sheet in the workbook will be activated.

Remember to replace “SheetName” with the actual name of the sheet you want to make active in your Excel VBA code.
