A button to create Sheet2, copy there data from Sheet1 and rename the sheet?

Hello everyone. I'm trying to get a button in excel 2007 that would basically create a duplicate of Sheet1 into Sheet2.

I've looked around the forum and found this code:

But what I'd additionally like to achieve is naming the Sheet2 as ie. Warehouse 2 (and Sheet1 is called, say Warehouse 1) in the process. Is that possible?

Yeah, but I'd like to have a button saying "Create new Warehouse". The button copies Warehouse 1 and automatically names the new sheet Warehouse 2. For instance, I just want to be able to click the button on Warehouse 1 three times and have 3 new sheets, all named automatically Warehouse 2, Warehouse 3, Warehouse 4. So just keep the core "Warehouse" and then add a number as the new sheets go. I'm not sure if I've made it clear enough...

One way too do this and probably not the best way is to create a helper sheet for instance "names" down Column A list sequential numbers. Then modify your code as follows:

Hey, that's not bad, actually. Warehouses is just an example here, I guess people dealing with the form I'm trying to build, who'll want to add more sheets, won't go above 50, so that might just do the trick! Thank you!

Like I said it's not the best way. However, you're welcome, and I'm glad to help out. Thanks for the feedback. Please comply with Forum Rule 9.

Ok, I guess this solves my query. Even if it's not the best way, I can simply specify 100 in the helper Names sheet and that'll work just fine. So I'm saying clearly: the problem is solved, thank you John H. Davis. Marking the thread Solved.
