My code below performs a calculation correctly but if the user changes the name of the worksheet, it will fail.

Code:
Cells(2, 2).FormulaR1C1 = "=MAX(Apples!C,Oranges!RC[-1])"

I want to make it specific to the codename of the worksheet, the codename for Apples is wksApples

How can I change it?

Thanks

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
You can retrieve the tab name using the codename:

Code:
Cells(2, 2).FormulaR1C1 = "=MAX('" & wksapples.name & "'!C,Oranges!RC[-1])"

You can do the same with Oranges.
