A good start, but let me give more detail. I have one Data sheet, and the
goal is to have as many Report sheets as there are values in the column
named, "Site" (around 75, now). The idea is to read the "Site" column from
the Data sheet, and if the value is "10", to populate the appropriate cells
in the tab with the site name, "10".

If the Data Sheet contains data like this:

Site Gender Age Score1 Score1
1 f 25 34 56
10 m 23 35 57


I want tab '1' to read the Data sheet, search the Site column, and if it
finds a value of '1', to pull the data in the record associated with '1' into
the preordained cells in tab '1'. Some of these cells in tab 1 have formulas,
some are direct moves.

The issue is that the number of values in the Site column may change, so
creating a link is not the way to go (data for Site '1' will not always occur
in the same row).

Hi Tanya

I assume you have two sheets in your workbook: Data & Template

The macro below will copy template sheet and rename the copy as "location",
then insert "location" in B2.

Now you can use your previous formula (insert the formula in Template sheet
before the macro is run): "=IF(Data!A2=B2,Data!M2)"

If you want the macro to populate the reports, further details is needed.
Can the row be copied to the target sheet if Location match, or ....

Sub CreateReport()
NoOfTabs = Sheets("Data").Range("A2").End(xlDown).Row - 1
Set TemplSh = Sheets("Template")
For sh = 1 To NoOfTabs
Set NewSh = TemplSh.Copy(After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count))
NewSh.Name = Sheets("Data").Range("A1").Offset(sh, 0).Value
Range("B1").Value = NewSh.Name
Next
End Sub

Hopes it helps

I have a data file with 50 columns, including one named "location". There
are
hundreds of locations, with values including '01', '21', '71'. I also have
report tabs which contain a template - the number of report tabs matches
the
number of unique values in the location column, so in my example there are
three report tabs. The report tabs are identical to each other, except for
their name. I want to create a macro to help populate the report tabs (the
template contains formulas and calculations), based on the value of the
location column.

What I have been doing is manually inserting "=IF(Data!A2=71,Data!M2)" in
the report tab, to pull data from cell M2 of the master file, if the value
of
cell A2 = 71. What I want is to be able to do is to receive the master
file,
which will always have the variables in the same columns, and run a macro
which will dump the data into the pre-created report tabs. The number of
tabs
may differ from time to time, but that can be manually handled.

Ideas?
