I have tried to find workable instructions on how to rename a module with no success.

I know I have been able to name/rename modules before, but can't seem to repeat my efforts.

Help appreciated.

    In Excel for Mac, you can rename a VBA module from the Properties window in the Visual Basic Editor.

    1. Open Excel and go to Tools > Macro > Visual Basic Editor.
    2. In the Visual Basic Editor, select View > Project Explorer if the Project Explorer is not already visible.
    3. Expand your workbook's VBAProject, then expand Modules.
    4. Click once on the module you want to rename, for example Module1.
    5. Select View > Properties Window.
    6. In the Properties window, find the (Name) property.
    7. Replace Module1 with the name you want and press Return/Enter.
