    Question Create Sheet Templates based off Data Validation Entry

    Hey All, New here and looking for some help. I am trying to create a sheet that is a template of information I need to collect from a customer. This would be used many times over so I need to be able to select what products they ordered from a dropdown box (which I have working) but then using that selection create a template that asks the customer to fill in information I need to gather. So for instance if they buy a product called fruit i need a tab that says fruit and on it there is a table that says "custom order name, Contact, Phone number, Address, Where you want fruit delivered" this would be a table they could fill out but it would only exist if they first chose fruit. (this is an example not my actual use case.) any help is appreciated.

    Hello Md,

    I don't totally follow what you would like to do but here's a starting point:-

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    This code will create new sheets from a template sheet based on a value selected from a drop down in cell A1.
    It is a Worksheet_Change event code and needs to be placed in the Template sheet module. To implement this code:-

    - Right click on the Template sheet tab.
    - Select "View Code" from the menu that appears.
    - In the big white code field that then appears, paste the above code.

    It is an event code so as soon as you make a selection from the drop down in A1, a new sheet will be immediately created from the Template and named with the selected value.

    Below, I've attached a mock-up of how this works and should give you an idea of how it could work for you.

    I hope that this helps.

    Cheerio,
    vcoolio.

    Re: Create Sheet Templates based off Data Validation Entry

    Hello,
    I am trying to do something very similar. I am fairly new to this. I downloaded your sample file but when I choose an option from the drop down box, nothing happens. I have the fields all filled out but still it does not generate another sheet. Do you know why this could be?
    Thank you

    Hello Lexi,

    I'm assuming that:-

    1) You've tried the code in your own workbook.
    2) You've placed the code into the Template sheet module as per post #2.

    It's somewhat difficult to determine why without seeing your workbook (a sample thereof). Read the gold coloured banner at the top of this page which gives instructions on how to upload a sample file.

    If you haven't tried it in your workbook and you're just working with the sample in post #2, on opening the sample, have you disabled the security settings?

    You should receive two warnings (gold coloured bar at the top of the sheet):-

    1) Protected View --->Click on the Enable Editing button.
    2) Securitry Warning--->Click on the Enable Content button.

    This will allow you to work on the sample.

    Cheerio,
    vcoolio.

    I hadn't placed the code into the template sheet... I guess I was a little too eager. This is along the lines of what I am trying to do with a bit of an alteration. I just posted a forum if you would like to check it out and help I would much appreciate it.

    Thanks!
