Create multiple copies of a worksheet
Since you mentioned 52 copies, it sounds like you want to open a fresh
timesheet each week. You can create a workbook template from your blank timesheet, by following the 'Create a template' instructions in Excel's Help, or he http://office.microsoft.com/assistan...

Create multiple copies of a worksheet
Hi
Another way - right-click on sheet tab, Move or copy, check 'Create a copy', OK, and rename new sheet. Then select both sheets and repeat the procedure above. Then the same with 4 sheets etc. - with 7 cycles you have your 52 sheets. -- Arvi Laanemets (Don't use my reply address - it's spam-trap) "Steve Walford" wrote in message ...

Create multiple copies of a worksheet
Steve,
It sounds as if you're planning on having a separate sheet for each week of a year. Here's my standard blurb on this topic. There's a lot of Excel functionality that isn't available when similar data is spread across multiple sheets (as well as across multiple workbooks). Questions abound where users already have data in separate sheets, and now want to find certain data, summarize the data, etc. and there are no direct means to do that. If the layout of the data in the sheets will be the same (same column headings), it is generally best to put all the data in a single sheet, with an additional column for what originally was the various sheets. For example, if you have a sheet for each month, put all the data in a single sheet, with an additional column for month. An Autofilter can easily reduce this consolidated sheet to the equivalent of one of the original (month) sheets. Now you can sort in various useful ways, use Data - Subtotals, easily make a pivot table to summarize the data, use database functions (DSUM, COUNTIF, etc.). If the separate sheets already exist, it's a straightforward one-time project to combine them. Just make a sheet with the extra (month) column. Now paste the records from the first sheet, and enter Jan into the month column and copy down with the fill handle or copy/paste. Repeat for the other sheets. I strongly recommend you consider this. -- Earl Kiosterud mvpearl omitthisword at verizon period net ------------------------------------------- "Steve Walford" wrote in message ...
