Create multiple sheet tabs from multiple cells.
Is it possible to make multple worksheets from a selection of multiple cells?
This would mean a selection of 10 cells would generate 10 sheets titled with the cell conent. |

Create multiple sheet tabs from multiple cells.
Here's some code that will go down from A1 to A? (until it runs into an empty
cell) on the "Master" sheet and will create and name sheet according to what is in each cell. HTH JonR Sub NewSheet() 'This assumes the cells you wish to name the sheets after are in Column A 'on the "Master" worksheet. 'inX is a variable used to count down the rows. Dim inX As Integer Dim stName As String inX = 1 Do Until Cells(inX, 1).Value = "" stName = Cells(inX, 1).Value Sheets.Add ActiveSheet.Name = stName Worksheets("Master").Activate inX = inX + 1 Loop End Sub "Robert Maddox" wrote: Is it possible to make multple worksheets from a selection of multiple cells?

Create multiple sheet tabs from multiple cells.
How can this be modified to "look" at only a specific list of names to create
the sheets? Thanks, anna "JonR" wrote: Here's some code that will go down from A1 to A?

Create multiple sheet tabs from multiple cells.
The way this is written, it goes down Column A one cell at a time. Cell
references in VBA are Cells(row,column), and you can see in the do While loop that the row is being incremented as each sheet is created. If you have certain criteria that you want to meet, you could do it with If statements or maybe a Select Case argument, depending on your needs. It might help if you could send an example of what you're trying to do so I can help meet your needs. -- HTH JonR "anna" wrote: How can this be modified to "look" at only a specific list of names to create the sheets?

Create multiple sheet tabs from multiple cells.
Thanks. On my "master" sheet, I have a column labeled "People" in A$, with
the list starting in A5. Other users would input their data here so the list could vary in length. I would like separate sheets generated with these names so then the users could input results per "person" in their respective tabs. This would include 3 columns... such as column one = "date" , column 2 = "time", and column 3 = "result data". I think I figured out how to summarize the data in a separate "summary" sheet by referring to the sheet name and meeting multiple criteria (using this very helpful site), I just need this last bit of info and I'm set! Of course if you can think of a better way to do this, then please share. Thanks so much for you help!! Anna "JonR" wrote: The way this is written, it goes down Column A one cell at a time.

Create multiple sheet tabs from multiple cells.
Replace the line inX=1 with inX=5. Then when the code gets to the statement
Do While Cells(inX,1)...., it will start at the cell on Row(inX) Column(1), which is A5. The way it's written, this code will run until it hits a blank in column A. If you need to skip a blank, or want to stop, start, or skip certian cells, you'll need to add some If statements. -- HTH JonR "anna" wrote: Thanks.

Create multiple sheet tabs from multiple cells.
I must be missing something or just a Visual Basic dummy... I copied the text
from "Sub NewSheet()" to "End Sub" and replaced the "inX = 1" to "inX = 5" in a Visual Basic module in my workbook. Now what? Dumb question, but how do I get it to work?

Create multiple sheet tabs from multiple cells.
At the top of your VB window, you'll see some buttons that look like controls
for the media player, with an arrow (to run), a square (to stop) and one with two parallel bars to puasse (that one should be disabled if the code isn't running).. Just click the "play" button. -- HTH JonR "anna" wrote: I must be missing something or just a Visual Basic dummy...

Cool. Thanks!
I don't suppose there is something you could write in this VB macro that will put the headers in the sheets also?

Create multiple sheet tabs from multiple cells.
Same problem. here's the macro (believe it or not I combined it with a button
on my "master" sheet... could this be casing the problem?)

Create multiple sheet tabs from multiple cells.
It's possible. What I would do is put the macro into a separate module,
naming it something else like Sub New_Sheet() then in the code for your command button, you'll just call the sub. Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() New_Sheet End Sub When you have a subroutine denoted as 'private' the only sheet or module that can "see" it is the one that it is attached to, in this case your master sheet. That's probably what's messing you up. -- HTH JonR "anna" wrote: Same problem. here's the macro (believe it or not I combined it with a button on my "master" sheet... could this be casing the problem?)
