    how to change this macro so it makes sheets in a new book not in the current book

    This Macro is working but i want the new sheets to made in a new workbook
    2 things i'd like to change in this macro.

    1) Can it create these new worksheets in a new workbook.
    2) Either can the new sheets have an ascending number in A1 or can the sheets name be copied into H1. Both options have the same result H1 is a lookup based on A1 value.

    I found this function for adding a worksheet name to a cell, thank you Kevin B

    But i've not tried using a function and a sub in 1 code before?

    The reason for this is there is a drop down box on the original sheet so you can choose a walk name it then does lots of lookups and shows you all the details for that walk. But to print you have to select each walk separately. With this macro you can select print entire workbook and it should save a lot of time.

    Thanks in advance

    It works exactly as I asked it to, thank you. Unfortunately the formulas aren't pulling through correctly. I've tried changing the formulas but only the lookup from A1 works, the numbers are ranked from H1 and not numerical.
    Can A1 be a number sequence? The first sheet "1" the next sheet "2"

    It works! Thanks so much for your time. I changed the vlookup to an index with match formula.

    Thank you
