    Exclamation How to create new sheet with exactly the same data on it!!!

    Hi guys,

    I have a workbook with about 10 sheet of data that i using to other sheets for my formulas. My workbook is about recipes costing and every time i use the same sheet, i put my data and then i copy it at the end of my sheets. I am trying to create a button that when i click on it to create a new sheet with exactly the same formulas and data. I try to create button but unfortunately the formulas and the data were not correct.
    Is it possible to create a button to make my worksheet easier?
    Thank you!!!

    Hi aachillis,

    Creating a button involves a macro.

    You can avoid that by creating a copy of the sheet VERY easily.

    Just hold down the Ctrl key, click on the sheet tab you want to duplicate, and drag to the right. You will see a small black triangle appear above the tab markers - you can drag and drop wherever you like.

    All your formulas will be preserved, and you will have a replica of the original sheet. YOu can then rename it, and use it as you wish.

    I hope this helps, please let me know!

    Regards,

    David

    Hi there,

    see attachement.

    The shortcut key for duplicating is CTRL+d.
    Does not matter if Your dropdown source is located on sheet You are going to duplicate, or it is a named range.

    To view the code with comments, press ALT+F11 to step in to VBA.

    Regards
