Excel Macro: Add and Name a New Worksheet with Specific Name

If you always add and name a new Worksheet with specific name in your Workbook, sometimes it seems very boring to do it manually. This simple macro can help you.

Add and Name a New Worksheet with Specific Name

'------------------ Modules------------------
Sub AddAndNameWithSpecificName()
'Step 1: Tell Excel what to do if Error
    On Error GoTo Error
    
'Step 2:  Add a new Worksheet and name it with specific name
    Sheets.Add.Name = "My New Sheet" 'add a new Worksheet and name with "My New Sheet", change the name with yours.
    Exit Sub
    
'Step 3: If here, an error happened; tell the user
Error:
    MsgBox "There is already a Worksheet called that."
End Sub

How This Macro Works

1. If you give the new sheet a name that already exists, an error occurs. In Step 1, the macro tells Excel to immediately skip to the line that says Error (in Step 3) if there is an error.
2. In Step 2, we use the Add method to add a new Worksheet. By default, the Worksheet is named Sheetxx by Excel, where xx represents the number of the Worksheet counts, eg. Sheet7, Sheet15. We use the Add method to add a new Worksheet and name with specific name "My New Sheet", you can change the name with yours.
3. Step 3 notifies the user that the Worksheet name already exists.
