When Sheet names in Excel workbooks are confused or inconsistent, how can we replace the old names in batches to rename and replace them with new names? There are many Xls and Xlsx files in enterprises or companies. Although the basic data in the tables are well organized, during analysis, the Sheet tables in many tables are names of different contents, which is easy to cause confusion in subsequent processing. In the scenario of hundreds of files, it takes a lot of time to manually rename each Sheet name in the files.
Here is a method that can quickly complete batch replacement and update of worksheet labels, make the classification of table contents clear, and effectively improve the professionalism and work efficiency of managing tables.
When do you want to batch replace Sheet names in Excel files?
Thenaming is unified
.Many enterprises generate Excel data reports in multiple regions every month. Usually each Sheet corresponds to a region name, but the manual naming is not uniform, which brings confusion to statistical analysis. At this time, batch replacement can be used to rename all Sheet names to a standard format, such as unifying Northern Region to Northern Region number. This method can improve the file specification and avoid the inefficiency and errors of manual repeated renaming.
Batch Rename
when the structure of the old Excel template used by the enterprise changes, the name of the worksheet needs to be readjusted, and the original Sheet name needs to be uniformly replaced with the new format. We can quickly rename multiple Sheets in multiple files in batch, helping the old Excel template to be quickly converted into the new Excel template.
Standardization requirements
many automated data extraction programs (Python, Power BI, ERP interfaces) will locate the table position through the name of the Sheet. When the name of the Sheet in Excel files from many different sources is very messy, the program cannot identify it. However, after the name is unified through batch replacement, it can facilitate automated batch operation and avoid system import failure due to name problems.
