Click Yes to use that version of the name, or click No to rename the version of 'InterestRates' you're moving or copying.

When copy sheet name already exists?Re: Error when copying or moving a sheet, name already exist
Click "No" give your sheet a different name, go back to the conflicting sheet, delete or rename it, and then rename the sheet you were trying to copy.

Place your cursor over the sheet tab that you want to rename. Double-click on it. This will put the sheet name in the edit mode. Enter the name of the sheet that you want.

If you have used the protect workbook (protect workbook for structure) option then you will not be able to rename sheet tabs.
