Fixing the 'Start' Worksheet in Excel File to Remain Constantly Visible

Question

Good morning, I have an Excel file that contains numerous worksheets. My objective is to keep the first worksheet, named "Start," constantly visible. Could you please guide me on how to accomplish this task?

Unfortunately, Excel does not have a built-in option to pin specific tabs. However, you can create a VBA macro to achieve this. Here's the eg of how to implement it-

Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim startSheet As Worksheet
    
    'Set the reference to the "Start" worksheet
    Set startSheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Start")
    
    'Loop through each worksheet tab
    For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
        If ws.Name = "Start" Then
            'Move the "Start" worksheet to the left-most position
            ws.Move Before:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
            Exit For
        End If
    Next ws
End Sub

Apart from this, there might be third-party Excel add-ins that offer more advanced tab management features, including the ability to pin tabs. Best Regards.
