I am trying to rename a worksheet, however the name of the worksheet that is reffered to in my code is more than 31 characters long i am trying to achieve the outcome of the code bellow.

MyNameLen = Application.WorksheetFunction.Len(MyName)
If MyNameLen > 30 Then
MyName = Application.WorksheetFunction.Left(MyName, 30)
End If
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
VBA has its own Len() function - so
Code:
    MyNameLen = Len(MyName)
    If MyNameLen > 30 Then
        MyName = Application.WorksheetFunction.Left(MyName, 30)
    End If
