Printing a Worksheet List

Summary: Want a quick way to create a list of worksheets in a workbook? Here’s a super-fast method using a simple little macro. (This tip works with Microsoft Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002, and Excel 2003.)

In complex workbooks that contain many worksheets, it is not unusual to need a list of the different worksheets. Once you have the list, you can print it or use it in some other fashion, such as to create a table of contents for your workbook. The following macro, GetSheets, quickly retrieves the names of the worksheets in the current workbook. It places them in the current worksheet, starting at cell A1 and then working downwards.

Sub GetSheets()
    Dim j As Integer
    Dim NumSheets As Integer

    NumSheets = Sheets.Count
    For j = 1 To NumSheets
        Cells(j, 1) = Sheets(j).Name
    Next j
End Sub

This macro will overwrite anything in a cell it needs in the current workbook, so you should make sure you don't need anything in column A of the worksheet. If you don't want to overwrite anything, make sure you create a new worksheet and then run the macro from that worksheet.

Once the list of worksheets is created, you can format it as desired, and then print it out.

Tip #2216 applies to Microsoft Excel versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003
