Hi,

I am hoping someone can me. I need a macro/code that will select a sheet in book2.xls, based on what is input into book1.xls sheet1 cell B38. The value of cell B38 is a date (e.g. 3/31). The worksheet names in book2 are dates.

So for example: book1 sheet1 cell B38 contains "3/31". I would like a macro that will open book2 find the sheet named 3/31 and select that worksheet.

Thanks very much!

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Try this.

Code:
Sub selectSheet()

Dim smonth As Integer
Dim sday As Integer

Workbooks("book1.xls").Activate

sday = day(Range("B38"))
smonth = Month(Range("B38"))


Workbooks("book2.xls").Activate
Worksheets(sday & "-" & smonth).Activate

End Sub
