How to easily create multiple worksheets from a template instead of one at
once.

Copy 1 then copy 2 then copy 4 then copy 8..............

You would have to manually rename them of course to make any sense.

Alternative is a macro........

Make sure the Template sheet is the activesheet before running.

Sub SheetCopy()
Dim i As Long
On Error GoTo endit
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
shts = InputBox("How many copies?")
For i = 1 To shts
ActiveSheet.Copy After:=ActiveSheet
With ActiveSheet
.Name = "NewSheet" & i 'or January & i or similar
End With
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
endit:
End Sub

If not familiar with VBA and macros, see David McRitchie's site for more on
"getting started".

In the meantime..........

First...create a backup copy of your original workbook.

To create a General Module, hit ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.

Hit CRTL + r to open Project Explorer.

Find your workbook/project and select it.

Right-click and InsertModule. Paste the code in there. Save the
workbook and hit ALT + Q to return to your workbook.

Run the macro by going to ToolMacroMacros.

You can also assign this macro to a button or a shortcut key combo.
