I would like to name a columns in a loop to have something like that:



where Y columns are named as b1, b2, b3 etc.

I tried with a script like that:

ncol = wks.GetNumCols();
for (i = 2; i<= ncol; i +=1);
{
wks.Columns(i).SetName("b$(i)")
}

although it doesn't print any mistakes I can't see any sign of it working. I would appreciate any help.

Hi freefeynman123,

> it doesn't print any mistakes

The semicolon(;) at the end of the "for" command line causes no loop.
Anyway, the following code should work:
ncol = wks.ncols;
for (ii = 2; ii<= ncol; ii +=1) {
  wks.col$(ii).name$="b$(ii-1)";
}
Please try.

P.S. By the way, you can change the column names in enumerated way from the user interface
by double-clicking the first column to show Column Properties dialog, enter the prefix ("b" in
your case) at the Short(or Long) Name, select "Enumerate Labels", choose "Enumerate" at the
Short(or Long) Name dropdown.
