Hi everyone,

I have a workbook used for invoices and estimates.

Each time I save a estimate i.e click button on template sheet, a new sheet must be created with cell value as sheet name. My code is as follow, which works perfectly:
VBA Code:
Sub Rectangle1_Click()

    Dim ws As Worksheet

    Set wh = Worksheets(ActiveSheet.Name)
    ActiveSheet.Copy After:=Worksheets(Sheets.Count)
    If wh.Range("e3").Value <> "" Then
    ActiveSheet.Name = wh.Range("e3").Value
    End If
    wh.Activate
With Sheets("Estimate").Range("e3")
    .Value = .Value + 1
End With
End Sub

My problem comes in when I add an "E" before the cell value in E3 (which is the estimate number).
I assume split function will need to be used? I have no experience with it.

Thank you in advance.

Save Often
If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
If you have an "E" in front of the value in cell E3, maybe try changing this part:
VBA Code:
    .Value = .Value + 1
to this:
VBA Code:
    .Value = "E" & (Mid(.Value, 2) + 1)
