Copy a template and fill in values from another worksheet - excel

Question

I am now trying to creating several worksheets and copying data from an existing worksheet to the worksheet that I just created.
This is what I have tried so far:
Sub CreateTemplate()
Worksheets.Add(After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = "CUST001"
Worksheets("Template").Cells.Copy Worksheets("CUST001").Cells
Worksheets("CUST001").Select
Range("C4") = "='CDE Information'!R[-2]C[-2]"
Range("C5") = "='CDE Information'!R[-3]C[-1]"
Range("C6") = "1111"
Range("C7") = "2222"
End Sub
This is an example of a table that I want to copy.
Table
I also want to create the worksheets and name them by the values of each row in column A.
So, it seems to me that I should do something with loops but I have no idea about that.
Can anyone help me out? Thank you in advance!

Welcome to stack. Try this:
Option Explicit
Sub copyWs()
Dim arr, j As Long
With Sheet1
arr = .Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Value2 'get all data in memory
For j = 1 To UBound(arr) 'traverse rows
.Copy After:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(Worksheets.Count) 'add ws after the last ws
Sheets(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(Worksheets.Count).Index).Name = arr(j, 1) 'name the last added ws
Next j
End With
End Sub
Now that we already have an array with all data we can also copy only part of our data to a new sheet instead of copying the whole sheet. To achieve this we'll just create a blank sheet first:
Sheets.Add After:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(Worksheets.Count) 'add ws after the last ws
When iterating an array we'll use 2 "counter" variables. 1 to go trough the lines, 1 to go trough the columns.
Dim j As Long, i As Long 'initiate our counter vars
For j = 1 To UBound(arr) 'traverse rows
For i = 1 To UBound(arr, 2) 'traverse columns
'here we can access each cell by referencing our array(<rowCounter>, <columnCounter>
'e.g. arr(j,i) => if j = 1 and i = 1 we'll have the values of Cell A1
Next i
Next j
The "Ubound" function allows us to get the total nr of rows and columns.
Dim arr2
ReDim arr2(1 To 1, 1 To UBound(arr)) '=> we only need 1 line but all columns of the source, as we cannot dynamically size an array with the "dim", we redim
For j = 1 To UBound(arr) 'traverse rows
For i = 1 To UBound(arr, 2) 'traverse columns
'here we can access each cell by referencing our array(<rowCounter>, <columnCounter>
'e.g. arr(j,i) => if j = 1 and i = 1 we'll have the values of Cell A1
'we can dump these values anywhere in the activesheet, other sheet, other workbook, .. but to limit the number of interactions with our sheet object we can also create new, intermediant arrays
'e.g. we could now copy cel by cel to the new sheet => Sheets(arr(j,1).Range(... but this would create significant overhead
'so we'll use an intermediant array to store the full line
arr2(1, i) = arr(j, i)
Next i
'when we have all the columns we dumb to the sheet
With Sheets(arr(j, 1)) 'the with allows us the re-use the sheet name without typing it again
.Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(UBound(arr2), UBound(arr2, 2))).Value2 = arr2 'the ubound function allows us to size the "range" to the same size as our array, once that's done we can just dumb it to the sheet
End With
Next j
