To make the array update automatically needs an old Excel trick to force recalculations: Changes to the tabs or names might not be quickly reflected in the array list. ItвЂ™s only refreshed when Excel thinks itвЂ™s necessary, which isnвЂ™t good enough in this case. The formula, and the array list it makes, has a limitation. At least theyвЂ™re grouped together at the end of your tabs list. Here, the array example has the вЂHide me awayвЂ™ tab listed but itвЂ™s not on the tab list at the bottom of the worksheet.ДЄll you can easily do is temporarily unhide any hidden tabs, move them to the end of the tabs list then rehide them. Get.Workbook includes any hidden workbooks. Other ExcelвЂ™s (Mac, Online and apps) will show nasty #NAME errors instead. Obsolete functions like Get.Workbook only work in Excel for Windows. ThatвЂ™s a problem in some situations where macro-enabled Office documents are restricted or outright blocked due to security/virus risks. Instead save as a macro-enabled workbook. Save as a macro workbookД«ecause Get.Workbook() is an old Excel 4.0 function it canвЂ™t be saved in a вЂmacro-freeвЂ™. Those mostly arise because the formula uses an obsolete function that Microsoft hasnвЂ™t replaced in modern Excel releases. Too often the setbacks of this approach arenвЂ™t mentioned. ItвЂ™s widely quoted on the Internet having been tweaked and adapted over time by various Excel wizards. LetвЂ™s stop a moment to mention some of the little gotchas about this tip.

ItвЂ™s an old Excel function thatвЂ™s still necessary and available but not part of the current Excel function list. Go to Formulas | Define Name | Define Name вЂ¦

The tricky bit is making the initial list of tab names.Д¬reate a Define Name with a function which grabs the list of worksheets and puts them into an array.

WeвЂ™ll break it down so you can understand how the whole thing comes together. The steps are straightforward, even if you donвЂ™t understand the functions and formulas involved. ThereвЂ™s no direct function to do it and the current method relies on a very old and officially obsolete Excel function (which has no modern equivalent for reasons passing understanding). Making a list of worksheets is a thing you might expect to be easy but is almost ludicrously intricate. Now weвЂ™ll take the next step and make an automatic list of worksheets that will update as the workbook changes.
