RENAME Excel worksheets dynamiccaly using VBA - excel

I have about 50 workbooks each with two tabs. I want to rename the first worksheet with the same name that of the workbook name.
I know how to to this when there is only one worksheet tab in the workbook.
But It does not work with multiple tabs.
How can I use VBA to dynamically rename worksheets that is same name as workbook name?

This will rename a worksheet to have the same name as the workbook it is in:
Worksheets(1).Name = ActiveWorkbook.Name
If there are several workbooks and you want to rename the first worksheet in each automatically, you could build a loop around this statement that opens each workbook and then runs the line of code above.

Create kind of temporary workbook from active workbook and then save temp. wb without changes in act. wb.. Excel VBA

Hello I have a workbook from which I need 2 sheets. The sheet 1 is needed to be copy pasted as values (to eliminate formulas and preserving formatting). MY logic is following :1) create a kind of temporary workbook of the initial file 2) then do copy paste as values 3)select only sheet 1 and 2 4) save this temporary workbook (with two sheets) to the folder. This is done in order to avoid any changes in the active (original ) workbook. I am using the following code and it seems to work. However my initial active workbook is also changed (in the first sheet only values (no formulas)). What should I change in my code , so that my schema starts working.
Set tb = ActiveWorkbook
tb.Sheets(1).Cells.Copy
tb.Sheets(1).Range("A1").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
tb.Sheets(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2")).Select
tb.Sheets(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2")).Copy
tb.SaveAs Filename:="C:path"

What is the easiest way to check if it is the first sheet of the workbook using openpyxl

I want to differentiate what I do on the very first worksheet only on the workbook that contains more than 100 sheets.
One of the very first checks I do when I iterate through sheets in the workbook, is to check if it is the first worksheet. Using openpyxl, I have tried iterating through workbook using
for sheets in wb.sheetnames
So I can check if the first sheet is named 'Sheet1" but it is not working.
I tried just normally iterating through with
for sheets in wb.worksheets
and seeing if the sheet is wb[0] but that was not the answer either.
What is the if statement I can use to check whether the current sheet, while iterating through the workbook, is the first sheet?
e.g.
for sheets in wb.worksheets
if sheet.sheetname == 'Sheet1':
do this
Thank you!
what happes if you do
for sheet in report.worksheets:
if sheet == report.worksheets[0]:
do stuff
do other stuff if not first worksheet

VBA code to update links in another workbook

Can someone help me on this? I have an excel file where I want to write a code that picks a value from a specific cell from the same workbook and paste it into another workbook. I am not sure how can I connect two workbooks and update the value.
You can also use queries for this.
If you specifically want to do this with VBA, you can open another workbook using:
Dim Tr As Workbook
Set Tr = Workbooks.Open(TFileName)
where TFileName stands for the full path of your second workbook. If you set your second workbook you can copy paste anything you want.
You can also use this:
Tr.Windows(1).Visible = False
so the workbook stays in the background

Excel - VBA - Add-In - Worksheet

I created an excel macro "add-in" for the first time. So now I can use the same macro across multiple workbooks using the quick link at the top of the workbook.
My issue is that the first command of my Macro is to add in a sheet "Sheet1". My workbook has 2 sheets in it currently. "Attrition 2017" and "Attrition 2018".
When I added in "Sheet1" the first time nothing happened, and the rest of my workbook errored out because of it. The second time I went through it said "Sheet1" already exists. This is the only workbook I have open. I tried it with numerous sheet names. it keeps adding sheets to an unknown spot then stating that they already exist. the rest of my code works with the add-in.
My code for adding in the worksheet works when not using the add-in function. here it is.
Dim ws As Worksheet
With ThisWorkbook
Set ws = .Sheets.Add(After:=.Sheets(.Sheets.Count))
ws.Name = "Sheet1"
End With
ThisWorkbook is the workbook where the code is running - in this case your add-in.
You probably need ActiveWorkbook here
