Dim TemplateWks As Worksheet

Set TemplateWks = Worksheets("worksheet 2")

For Each myCell In myRng.Cells

after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)
Set NewWks = ActiveSheet
NewWks.Name = myCell.Value
'the value???
NewWks.Range("I5").Value = myCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
'or a formula that points back to that cell???
NewWks.Range("I5").Formula _
= "=" & myCell.Offset(0, 1).Address(external:=True)
Next myCell

I am creating a macro that so far works great for inserting new worksheets
(formatting copied from worksheet 2) for a selection found on worksheet 1.
The problems comes when I'm trying to create a formula for the same cell (I5)
in each new worksheet to equal a specific cell in the same row as the one
originally selected.

To demonstrate

Worksheet 1
A B
Product 1 12
Product 2 45
Product 3 87

The macro so far creates a new worksheet for each product ie Product 1,
Product 2, Product 3, but then I want I5 to equal the value found in the B
column for each product.
The code so far is below. The ....... shows where I'm stuck!

For Each cell In Selection
Sheets("Worksheet 2").Copy After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)
ActiveSheet.Name = cell.Value
Range("I5").Select
ActiveSheet.FormulaR1C1 = "=Worksheet 1!......"
Next cell

Thanks in advance
