    Making the date column read left letters from sheet name

    Hello,

    I am trying to find a solution for my issue,
    I created a micro that insert date column and fill it, now I need to make the date=activatesheet name but I couldn’t

    my code is below

    Aprils=activatsheet.name(left,7)

    the result coming as “Aprils” instead of the date.

    please let me know where is my mistake or the alternative solution.
    appreciate the support.

    Your use of Aprils = Activesheet.name is setting the name of the active sheet to "Aprils" so when you use Activesheet.Name(Left,7) it simply returns 7 characters from the left of the sheet name "Aprils" hence the returned value Aprils

    Maybe:
    Aprils = Left(ActiveSheet.Name, 7)
    If you want to make the active sheet name become todays date then maybe:
    ActiveSheet.Name = Format(Date, "yyyy.mm.dd")
