Well it does sound complex, but does it have to be?

Have you considered using a set of templates for each job creation, these
can contain all the required formatting, code, formulas etc. If each
template has a worksheet (suggest it is very hidden) into which you paste
your data, this data can then used in all the other sheets in the template
to present the user with their information. The destination of the data is
now defined and consistent.

I have a very big spreadsheet which is divided out in job areas€¦there are
20
or so job areas and each job area has a few roles in it (can be between
5-10)
or maybe more. This information needs to be copied from this sheet into 20
other sheets (so each job area goes into a new sheet and the sheet is
named
accordingly), so it might be some sort of IF statement that will recognise
if
something =that and then copies it from the main sheet into another new
sheet
which should be renamed by the macro as well. BUT the problem is that the
information needs to be copied into the new sheet in a certain way, each
new
sheet will have a pre-set format and the macro should be used to either
create each of the 20 sheets or to just use the macro to duplicate last
months sheets and empty the data in it €“ leaving all the formatting and
the
formulas (if thats possible?!). The copied info needs to be pasted in
this
formatted file where there are colours separating fields and columns to
put
in certain things.

How the macro will know where to copy from the master sheet into these new
sheets is because each new sheet, in column R will normally have the job
title in it. So the macro needs to get that job title from the master
sheet
then put it in the new sheet where it finds the job title. BUT there will
be
numerous job titles on the new sheet and each one will have formulas and
total rows etc (so these bits shouldnt be overwritten by the new
info)€¦this
might make it difficult for the macro to know where to paste the
information
and how can I say to paste in these rows in this place when the rows will
most likely change by the month. (If it helps I can send you the
spreadsheet).

I dont really know how to get around this, or even if this is possible.

Can anyone please advise?

Thanks.
