Create multiple sheet tabs from multiple cells.

[Robert Maddox]

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.

[JonR]

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.

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

How can this be modified to "look" at only a specific list of names to create
the sheets?

Thanks,

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.

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!!

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.
