How to name sheets

[philky001]

HI I have a program that is programatically created sheets based on the text file input.
I need to name the sheets based on the patient name though. Currently it is just sheet1,2 etc.
I am using C# but how would you do this in C# or VBA or other language?

Where does the patient name come from?

Once you have that there are various ways you could name the sheets.

Which one to use might depend on how the sheets are created and which language you are using.

Here's one example in VBA.

Set wsPatient =ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Add

wsPatient.Name = "ThePatientName"

Obviously you would have a variable for the name rather than a hard-coded value.

yes the data from the text file looks like this: so you can look for resident name in c# we have this: e if (line.Contains("RESIDENT NAME"))
{
patient .ResidentName = line.Replace("RESIDENT NAME", "").Trim();
}

RESIDENT NAME AAB, SU W
ACCOUNT NUMBER 000001 @
ROOM NUMBER 102 -P
ADMISSION DATE 11-07-2010
AMOUNT REMITTED 0.00
BALANCE FORWARD OPENING BALANCE 0.00

In C# you can use basically the same code as posted for VBA, just remove the Set and change the workbook reference.
