Cell driven macro to copy a template sheet to other sheets

I have a macro for copying a template worksheet and pasting it over specific sheets when a named cell (Overwrite_Sheetn) says "Yes".
It's not elegant, and only works some of the time.
For some reason some of the sheets won't copy and paste the template file.
I have 20 sheets that can be overwritten (Overwrite_Sheet1 to Overwrite_Sheet20)

NB: The below snippet is only showing the first three instances.

VBA Code:
Sub Copy_Template()
'
' 7.0 Template_Copy Macro
'
'
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
If [Overwrite_Sheet1] = "Yes" Then
    Sheets("Template").Select
    Cells.Select
    Selection.Copy
    Worksheets(1).Select
    Cells.Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
End If

If [Overwrite_Sheet2] = "Yes" Then
    Sheets("Template").Select
    Cells.Select
    Selection.Copy
    Worksheets(2).Select
    Cells.Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
End If

If [Overwrite_Sheet3] = "Yes" Then
    Sheets("Template").Select
    Cells.Select
    Selection.Copy
    Worksheets(3).Select
    Cells.Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
End If

    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub


Can someone point out where I'm going wrong?

Or is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Hello,

does this work as expected?

VBA Code:
Sub Copy_Template()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    For MY_SHEET = 1 To 2 '20
        If Range("OverwriteSheet" & MY_SHEET).Value = "YES" Then
            Sheets("Template").Select
            Cells.Select
            Selection.Copy
            Worksheets("Overwritesheet" & MY_SHEET).Select
            Cells.Select
            ActiveSheet.Paste
        End If
    Next MY_SHEET
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

there may be many reasons why some sheets don't get copies.
