Need VBA to Duplicate Worksheet Template, Name It and Copy a Row of Values into Sections of One Column Based on One Column Information

[Alejandro_R]

Hi All,
I am trying to add two pieces of coding to a coding that I found online at Create a new sheet for all Unique values and which what it does is create and name worksheets based on a list located in ‘Sheet1’ Column A and copy the cells from the same row of the list to the newly created sheet. The coding I am trying to add are: one that duplicate (makes copies) of a Worksheet ‘Template’ (instead of creating blank worksheets), and another coding that copies the row of information shown in the ‘Sheet1’ to column H of the created worksheet (in specific cells of column H, all cells not necessarily contiguous).
This is:

• Template to copy is ‘Template’ Worksheet and contains data and formulae in basically the range of A1:AU295

Worksheet ‘Sheet1’:

• List of data to copy are in ‘Sheet1’ from Range A2:E200, and their headings are in Range A1:E1
• The values assigned for naming the worksheets are in column A by using a filter field. No data is repetitive in this field.
• The unique data from the filter field (column A to E) is copied to the newly created worksheet (ws2)
• One value in Column B will be pasted in “H81” of ws2
• The value in Columns C,D,E will be pasted in “H94:H96” of ws2
• I will later add more columns (F through L) which I will assign corresponding ranges, all in column H (some non-consecutive and some consecutive cells in column H)

The script that I am trying to modify I found it in Create a new sheet for all Unique values (Create a new sheet for all Unique values).
The first script I am trying to add is:

Sheets("Template").Cells.Copy
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("A1").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False

The second script I am trying to add is:

Range("B?").Copy Sheets("Sheet1").Range("H81")
Range("C?:E?").Copy Sheets("Sheet1").Range("H94:H96")

I am sorry about writing “?”, I am not sure how to express that the particular row may be located between row 2 and 200. The total number of rows may increase up to less than 1000.

Even though the original script allows copying more than one row and pasting them in ws2, as if it were the case that there were repetitive names in Column A, that will not be the case here, there will only be one (non-repetitive) name per worksheet and I suppose there should be no problem of copying one row of values of Sheet1 and pasting them in column H. Therefore I think it will be okay that I don’t take the time cleaning the coding for the moment.
This coding is updatable, but if I add new rows of information to the list and run the macro again, it will show the repetitive worksheets named “Error-“number”” plus the missing worksheets. Honestly, if solving the code for this is complicated, I don’t mind deleting these worksheets.

Can anyone help me with this? I am new in VBA and very slowly learning this fascinating language.

Thank you in advance for the help.
