    Multiple Sheets (Need to create 500 individual sheets in one workbook, pulling DATA

    ok, this is the best way i can describe my question. i have a workbook that has 2 sheets.
    Sheet 1 : client database. (Name,Address,Phone,loan amount,date, etc...)
    Sheet 2 : Client evaluation/scenario ( something similar to a loan calc. )

    What I am trying to accomplish is, create 5000 worksheets that pull data from sheet 1. To do this page by page would take weeks. How can I create these sheets so that each new page pulls the information from the defaulting line? For example

    Sheet 1 : Database = 20 column 1-20
    Sheet 2 : Pulls Data from Column 1
    Sheet 3 : Pulls Data from Column 2
    Sheet 4 : Pulls Data from Column 3
    Sheet 5 : Pulls Data from Column 4
    etc

    This would allow me to print my database with individual scenarios for each client.
    PLEASE HELP. Microsoft has given me the runaround and suggests I setup an account for software support. This cannot be that difficult.

    Creating 5000 separate worksheets would be wasteful to say the least.
    A better way would be to create a template form and use a formula like
    VLOOKUP to display the data in the fields you want by entering the name,
    account number or whatever in a specified cell on that sheet. That way you
    would only need one extra sheet.

    Check out VLOOKUP in Help to get the general idea, post back if you're not
    sure of the method,

    Hi

    In same NG, I posted an some guidelines how to display data according
    selected conditions from a master sheet - look at thread "Automatically
    updating worksheets from a master worksheet" by Nlevans at 04.07.2006.
    Probably you get some ideas from there
