Hello, I have a list of people names in a column in one sheet with additional cells in each row for adding data.

I want to create separate excel sheet for each name in the column. I have 36 names in the list.

Please can anyone help me in this as I do not want to go on adding sheets and renaming them with the names in each cell.

Thanks,

Eskagsms

you can loop thru each name
create a sheet with that name

some thing like this 

   Dim lRow As Long
   Dim sSrcSheet As String
   
   sSrcSheet = "Sheet1" 'the name of the sheet that has the names
   lRow = 1
   Do While (Sheets(sSrcSheet).Cells(lRow, "A") <> vbNullString)
      Sheets.Add
      ActiveSheet.Name = Sheets(sSrcSheet).Cells(lRow, "A")
      lRow = lRow + 1
   Loop

Hello Riz,

I tried to paste the above in a module window and ran it, but it is not recognising the "Sheet1" parameter.

Please can you help.

do you have a sheet called "Sheet1" ?

Could you please upload a sample EXCEL file WITH sample data, macro, formula , conditional formatting etc on some shared site like https://authentification.site , http://docs.google.com, http://wikisend.com/ , [http://www.editgrid.com etc
AND post back here the link to allow better understanding of how it is now and how you foresee. Based on the sample book, could you re-explain your problem too.


Note: your data need not be to be real data but a good representative of how data looks like

The code was just for how to name. You cannot add code like that. It has to be enclosed in a sub or function 

Public Sub doRenameSheet()
Dim lRow As Long
   Dim sSrcSheet As String
   
   sSrcSheet = "Sheet1" 'the name of the sheet that has the names
   lRow = 1
   Do While (Sheets(sSrcSheet).Cells(lRow, "A") <> vbNullString)
      Sheets.Add
      ActiveSheet.Name = Sheets(sSrcSheet).Cells(lRow, "A")
      lRow = lRow + 1
   Loop
End Sub
