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.
