macro truncating cell on all worksheet.

[tuytuy]

hi,
i wanted to write a macro that would truncate the cell B1 to 10 character from the right. Then rename the sheet with the right bit of the cell. And finally delete both cells. And repeat this process with all sheet in the workbook (they all contain a section number and section description in B1)

E.G.
i have in cell B1 this value:

Section 1 Who - All accounts: 1 record per account

<tbody>
</tbody>

i want the macro to truncate it after section 1 and rename the tab of the sheet with section 1. And then delete both cells (the one with "section 1" and the one with "Who - All accounts: 1 record per account".

nothing yet... never done truncating before, still looking up.

To exclude the rightmost 10 characters from the value in a cell:

Left(cell.Value, Len(cell.Value)-10)

Here what i've got so fare, still need to loop it for all sheets know.

Sub macro()
ActiveCell = Left(Range("B1"), 9)
ActiveCell = Replace(ActiveCell, " ", "_")
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Set ws1 = ActiveSheet
ws1.Name = ws1.Range("B1")
Selection.EntireRow.Delete
End Sub
