I have developed a code to copy a sheet and rename the sheet name with the value given in the insert box and then copy the same value in the summary sheet and select the last cell and paste the value but I want to create the hyperlink so that if i click on that value it will take me to that sheet.
I am stuck at the giving the proper subaddress.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim sName As String
Dim oRng As Range
sName = InputBox("New Shipment", "New AWB Number", "Enter the AWB Number")
If sName <> "" Then
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Templete").Copy Before:=Sheets(3)
ActiveSheet.Name = sName
MsgBox "New AWB Number Tracking Added"
Else
MsgBox "Failed"
End If
Sheets("Summary").Select
Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Activate
ActiveCell.Value = sName
'ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection, Address:="", SubAddress:= _
"'Sheet(3)'!A1"
End Sub
When I run this I am getting an error:
"Reference isn't valid"
Please help.
You can always run into issues when using Select and Activate but I suspect your main issue was your hyperlink sub address. You where trying to set it to 'Sheet(3)'!A1" which excel won't recognise as it is the sheet position (which VBA recognises) rather than the sheet name. Have a look at the below
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim sName As String
Dim oRng As Range
Dim nWs As Worksheet
sName = InputBox("New Shipment", "New AWB Number", "Enter the AWB Number")
If sName <> "" Then
With ThisWorkbook
.Sheets("Templete").Copy Before:=.Sheets(3)
Set nWs = .Sheets(3)
End With
nWs.Name = sName
With Sheets("Summary")
With .Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
.Value2 = sName
.Parent.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=.Cells, Address:="", SubAddress:= _
"'" & nWs.Name & "'!A1"
End With
End With
MsgBox "New AWB Number Tracking Added"
Else
MsgBox "Failed"
End If
End Sub
You should probably also add to this a check to test against existing sheets for duplicate or invalid names entered by the user.

I've assigned a macro to a cell so when it is clicked it makes a copy of a template sheet, asks what name you want for it, and then adds that name to the next blank cell in a column.
I've had a go at doing it below, it doesn't error, however it also doesn't hyperlink either.
How do i now also make the cell where the name goes hyperlink to that sheet?
Full vba on main sheet:
Public Sub CopySheetAndRenameByCell()
Dim newName As String
Dim Emrange As Range
Set Emrange = Application.Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)

If newName <> "" Then
Sheets("Project Sheet BLANK").Copy After:=Worksheets(Sheets.Count)
On Error Resume Next
ActiveSheet.Name = newName
Emrange.Value = newName
Worksheets(newName).Select
Emrange.Select
ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection, Address:="", SubAddress:="newName!A1", TextToDisplay:="New sheet"
End If
End Sub
Like this:
Public Sub CopySheetAndRenameByCell()
Dim newName As String, Emrange As Range, wsNew As Worksheet, wb As Workbook
Dim wsIndex As Worksheet
newName = InputBox("Enter the name of the new project", _
"Copy worksheet", ActiveCell.Value)

After:=wb.Worksheets(wb.Worksheets.Count)
Set wsNew = wb.Worksheets(wb.Worksheets.Count)
On Error Resume Next 'ignore error on rename
wsNew.Name = newName
On Error GoTo 0 'stop ignoring errors
Set wsIndex = wb.Worksheets("Index") 'for example

MsgBox "Name provided '" & newName & _
"' is not valid as a worksheet name!", vbExclamation
End If
End If

Template sheet labeled = "COQ 001"
Log labeled = "Change Order Log"
I have gotten this far: Code below creates a new sheet based off of the template labeled "COQ 001", renames the new worksheet based on user input, goes back to the change order log and sets it to active, inserts a row after the last entry. I think I got that right.
Sub CreateSheet()
Dim xName As String
Dim xSht As Object
On Error Resume Next
xName = InputBox("Please enter new COQ #. For Example: COQ 001", "NEW CHANGE ORDER QUOTE")
If xName = "" Then Exit Sub
Set xSht = Sheets(xName)
If Not xSht Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Sheet cannot be created as there is already a worksheet with the same name in this
workbook"
Exit Sub
End If
Sheets("COQ 001").Copy after:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Set xNWS = Sheets(Sheets.Count)
xNWS.Name = xName
'Link2Log Macro
Worksheets("Change Order Log").Activate
'Locates Last Cell
Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
'Inserts Row Below
Range("10:10").EntireRow.Insert
End Sub
To keep going I need it to link specific cells of each newly created worksheet to the change order log sheet since that is my master log. Instead of COQ 001 which shows up on the formula, I would like it to be each newly created sheet.
If anyone can help finish the thought that would be great!!Thanks,
New Formula:
Thanks Nick, this is what the formula looks like:
Sub CreateSheet()
Dim xName As String
Dim xSht As Object
On Error Resume Next
xName = InputBox("Please enter new COQ #. For Example: COQ 001", "NEW
CHANGE ORDER QUOTE")
If xName = "" Then Exit Sub
Set xSht = Sheets(xName)
If Not xSht Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Sheet cannot be created as there is already a worksheet with
the same name in this workbook"
Exit Sub
End If
Sheets("COQ 001").Copy after:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Set xNWS = Sheets(Sheets.Count)
xNWS.Name = xName
'Link2Log Macro
Worksheets("Change Order Log").Activate
Range("10:10").EntireRow.Insert
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='xName'!R[-3]C[5]"
Range("C10").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='xName'!R[2]C:R[2]C[5]"
Range("D10").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='xName'!R[-2]C[3]"
Range("E10").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='xName'!R[-1]C[2]"
Range("G10").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='xName'!R[40]C"
Range("G11").Select
End Sub
But I get an error on the log:

You can try this:
Sub CreateSheet()
Dim xName As String, wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
xName = InputBox("Please enter new COQ #. For Example: COQ 001", _
"NEWCHANGE ORDER QUOTE")
If xName = "" Then Exit Sub
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
If SheetExists(xName, wb) Then
MsgBox "Sheet '" & xName & "' cannot be created as there is already " & _
"a worksheet with the same name in this workbook"
Exit Sub
End If
wb.Worksheets("COQ 001").Copy after:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Set ws = wb.Sheets(Sheets.Count)
ws.Name = xName
With wb.Worksheets("Change Order Log")
.Activate
.Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1).EntireRow.Insert 'add a row to the table
With .Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1).EntireRow
.Columns("B").Formula = "='" & xName & "'!G7"
.Columns("C").Formula = "='" & xName & "'!C12" 'only need first cell of merged area
.Columns("D").Formula = "='" & xName & "'!G8"
.Columns("E").Formula = "='" & xName & "'!G9"
.Columns("G").Formula = "='" & xName & "'!G50" 'likewise
End With
End With
End Sub
Function SheetExists(SheetName As String, Optional wb As Excel.Workbook)
Dim s As Excel.Worksheet
If wb Is Nothing Then Set wb = ThisWorkbook
On Error Resume Next
Set s = wb.Sheets(SheetName)
On Error GoTo 0
SheetExists = Not s Is Nothing
End Function
Note you don't need to select/activate ranges to work with them - just reference them directly.
I am new to VBA.
Thank you for your time. I have been Googling for 2 days and always get an error.
I have two sheets
Projects ( where I will store project names) and
Template (where new projects will be created using the "template" sheet)
I have 2 issues I am trying to solve :
How do I copy the format on an active sheet including conditional formatting and column width. PasteSpecial already copies all the colour design but not the column width/conditional formatting
When I run the code it creates a new sheet called Project Name,not sure where that is coming from.
This is the code I am using:
Sub Copy()
Sheets("Template").Range("A1:O100").Copy
ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial
End Sub
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I want to generate a project name, make sure it does not exist(no duplicate), open a new sheet and copy the template from "template".
The full codes is:
RunAll()
CreateProjectName
CreateNewTab
CopyPaste

I have created my worksheet with a template sheet. I also create a button to copy the template sheet and put any new created sheets after the template sheet.
Everything is still OK if the 'Template' is visible. When I hide the 'Template', only the latest created sheet is visible, other are auto hidden.
Could you please have a look at my script and advise me how to fix that? I want any new created sheet will be visible and put after the hidden template sheet.
Here is my script
Sub NewSheet()
Dim newWS As Worksheet
Dim TemplateWS As Worksheet
Dim newWSName As String
Retry:
newWSName = InputBox("Enter Activity name.", "New Sheet Name")
If newWSName = "" Then Exit Sub
For Each ws In Worksheets
If ws.Name = newWSName Then
MsgBox newWSName & " exist already. Pick another name.", vbExclamation, "Sheet Name Exists"
GoTo Retry
End If
Next ws
Set TemplateWS = Sheet7
TemplateWS.Activate
TemplateWS.Copy After:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("template 1")
ActiveSheet.Name = newWSName
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection, Address:="", SubAddress:="'Summary'!A1", TextToDisplay:="Click to Summary"
ActiveSheet.Tab.ColorIndex = 19
End Sub
Thank you so much as always.
Normally a copied sheet becomes the active sheet but this doesn't happen if the copied sheet is hidden. Solution is to make template visible, copy and then hide.
Option Explicit
Sub NewSheet()
Dim wsTemplate As Worksheet, ws As Worksheet
Dim newWSName As String
Retry:
newWSName = InputBox("Enter Activity name.", "New Sheet Name")
If newWSName = "" Then Exit Sub
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
If ws.Name = newWSName Then
MsgBox newWSName & " exist already. Pick another name.", vbExclamation, "Sheet Name Exists"
GoTo Retry
End If
Next ws
Set wsTemplate = Sheets("Template 1")
wsTemplate.Visible = True
wsTemplate.Copy After:=wsTemplate
With ActiveSheet
.Name = newWSName
.Range("A1").Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=.Range("A1"), Address:="", _
SubAddress:="'Summary'!A1", _
TextToDisplay:="Click to Summary"

I have a workbook with two sheet I copy to the end of the workbook.
I am trying to name the two sheet the same name via a InputBox and give them two different suffix as standard, the first is "xxx - Project" and the next is "xxx - Report".
I have placed the two sheets in an array. How do I reference the two sheet via the InputBox?
Public Sub CopySheets()
Dim shName As String 'Sheet name var
Dim shExists As Boolean
Do
shName = InputBox("Please enter name of new project", "New Project")
If shName <> "" Then
shExists = SheetExists(shName) 'Check for existing sheet name
If Not shExists Then
Worksheets(Array(1, 2)).Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Else
MsgBox "Project Name:" & Space(1) & shName & " already exists", vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Deter"
End If
End If
Loop Until Not shExists Or shName = ""
End Sub
Private Function SheetExists(ByVal sheetName As String, _
Optional ByVal wb As Workbook)
If wb Is Nothing Then Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
On Error Resume Next
SheetExists = Not wb.Worksheets(sheetName) Is Nothing
End Function
Sample image:
Something like that in in the if conditon
If Not shExists Then
Worksheets(Array(1, 2)).Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Sheets(Sheets.Count - 1)
ws.Name = shName & "- project"
Set ws = Sheets(Sheets.Count)
ws.Name = shName & "- report"
Else
