Say cell A1 is the cell in question. If A1 is filled by data entry, then use
this worksheet event macro:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Set t = Target
Set a1 = Range("A1")
If Intersect(t, a1) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
ActiveSheet.Name = a1.Value
End Sub
If A1 is determine by a formula, then use this worksheet event macro:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
ActiveSheet.Name = Range("A1").Value
End Sub
Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use:
1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window
If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.
To remove the macro:
1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
