How to make the first sheet the active sheet using VBA?

To make the first sheet the active sheet using VBA, you can use the following code snippet. This code will select the first worksheet in the workbook, making it the active sheet.

Sub ActivateFirstSheet()
    ' Check if there are any worksheets available
    If Worksheets.Count > 0 Then
        ' Set the first worksheet as the active sheet
        Worksheets(1).Activate
    Else
        MsgBox "There are no worksheets in this workbook."
    End If
End Sub

To use this code:

  • Open your Excel workbook.
  • Press `ALT` + `F11` to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
  • Go to `Insert` > `Module` to add a new module.
  • Copy and paste the code provided into the module window.
  • Close the VBA editor.
  • Run the `ActivateFirstSheet` macro by pressing `ALT` + `F8`, selecting `ActivateFirstSheet`, and clicking `Run`.

This code will check if there are any worksheets in the workbook, and if there are, it activates the first sheet. If there are no worksheets, it displays a message box indicating that there are no worksheets available.
