When copying a sheet (tab at bottom of a spreadsheet), it would be good to be able to specify a new name for the tab at the time of copying.
At present it has to be done as two actions. Say you have a tab called Jan and you wan to duplicate the setup for Feb -
click on the tab named Jan - select move/copy then tick the box to copy. This creates a duplicated tab called Jan(2)
you then have to right click on the newly created tab and rename it to Feb
It would be much more efficient if, after ticking the ‘copy’ checkbox you were presented with a prompt to give the new sheet a name.
Thanks for the suggestion. As far as I know, the scenario with move/copy and the name with (2) is pretty much a standard. It also could be a little confusing that the cursor from the sheet is taken to enter the name. May I ask you if you know any processors that allow setting up a name right away?
You are correct in saying that the standard is to use the name with (2) but how many users actually want that - I would say that 99% of the time they will re-name the sheet, and that requires another process. So to implement this would put you ahead of the crowd so to speak.
I did use an office suite many years ago that did have this feature - unfortunately I cannot remember what it was called, and have been hoping to find it again…
Not sure what you mean by this… “It also could be a little confusing that the cursor from the sheet is taken to enter the name.”
