Creating New Sheets with Names from a List - excel

Question

I am pretty new to VBA and am having an issue with my code. I have different hotel names from cell B4 to B27. My goal is to create new worksheets and name each one with the hotel names (going down the list). I tried running the sub procedure below but I am getting an error. The error says:
"Run-time error '1004': Application-defined or object-defined error"
It refers to the line below my comment. Any thoughts on why this is occurring and how I can fix this?
Sub sheetnamefromlist()
Dim count, i As Integer
count = WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("B4", Range("B4").End(xlDown)))
i = 4
Do While i <= count
' next line errors
Sheets.Add(after:=Sheets(Sheets.count)).Name = Sheets("LocalList").Cells(i, 2).Text
i = i + 1
Loop
Sheets("LocalList").Activate
End Sub

Answer 1

Here is something that I quickly wrote
Few things
Do not find last row like that. You may want to see THIS
Do not use .Text to read the value of the cell. You may want to see What is the difference between .text, .value, and .value2?
Check if the sheet exists before trying to create one else you will get an error.
Is this what you are trying?
Option Explicit
Sub sheetnamefromlist()
Dim ws As Worksheet, wsNew As Worksheet
Dim lRow As Long, i As Long
Dim NewSheetName As String
'~~> Set this to the relevant worksheet
'~~> which has the range
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("LocalList")
With ws
'~~> Find last row
lRow = .Range("B" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
'~~> Loop through the range
For i = 4 To lRow
NewSheetName = .Cells(i, 2).Value2
'~~> Check if there is already a worksheet with that name
If Not SheetExists(NewSheetName) Then
'~~> Create the worksheet and name it
With ThisWorkbook
.Sheets.Add(After:=.Sheets(.Sheets.Count)).Name = NewSheetName
End With
End If
Next i
End With
End Sub
'~~> Function to check if the worksheet exists
Private Function SheetExists(shName As String) As Boolean
Dim shNew As Worksheet
On Error Resume Next
Set shNew = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(shName)
On Error GoTo 0
If Not shNew Is Nothing Then SheetExists = True
End Function
My assumptions
All cells have valid values i.e which can be used for sheet names. If not, then you will have to handle that error as well.
Workbook (not worksheet) is unprotected

Answer 2

Try,
Sub test()
Dim vDB As Variant
Dim rngDB As Range
Dim Ws As Worksheet, newWS As Worksheet
Dim i As Integer
Set Ws = Sheets("LocalList")
With Ws
Set rngDB = .Range("b4", .Range("b4").End(xlDown))
End With
vDB = rngDB 'Bring the contents of the range into a 2D array.
For i = 1 To UBound(vDB, 1)
Set newWS = Sheets.Add(after:=Sheets(Sheets.Count))
newWS.Name = vDB(i, 1)
Next i
End Sub

Answer 3

Create Worksheets from List
The following will create (and count) only worksheets with valid names.
When the worksheet is already added and the name is invalid, it will be deleted (poorly handled, but it works.)
It is assumed that the list is contiguous (no empty cells).
The Code
Option Explicit
Sub SheetNameFromList()
Const wsName As String = "LocalList"
Const FirstCell As String = "B4"
Dim wb As Workbook: Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = wb.Worksheets(wsName)
Dim ListCount As Long
ListCount = WorksheetFunction.CountA(ws.Range(FirstCell, _
ws.Range(FirstCell).End(xlDown)))
Dim fRow As Long: fRow = ws.Range(FirstCell).Row
Dim fCol As Long: fCol = ws.Range(FirstCell).Column
Dim i As Long, wsCount As Long
Do While i < ListCount
If addSheetAfterLast(wb, ws.Cells(fRow + i, fCol).Value) = True Then
wsCount = wsCount + 1
End If
i = i + 1
Loop
ws.Activate
MsgBox "Created " & wsCount & " new worksheet(s).", vbInformation
End Sub
Function addSheetAfterLast(WorkbookObject As Workbook, _
SheetName As String) _
As Boolean
Dim ws As Worksheet
On Error Resume Next
Set ws = WorkbookObject.Worksheets(SheetName)
If Err.Number = 0 Then Exit Function
Err.Clear
WorkbookObject.Sheets.Add After:=WorkbookObject.Sheets(Sheets.count)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then Exit Function
Err.Clear
WorkbookObject.ActiveSheet.Name = SheetName
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
WorkbookObject.Sheets(WorkbookObject.Sheets.count).Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Exit Function
End If
addSheetAfterLast = True
End Function
