Copy a worksheet multiple times and rename them with increment tab names by using VBA code

If you need to copy a worksheet multiple times, and give them series names, such as KTE-1, KTE-2, KTE-3, KTE-4…, the following VBA code can do you a favor.

1. Hold down the ALT + F11 keys to open the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.

2. Click Insert > Module, and paste the following code in the Module Window.

VBA code: Copy a worksheet multiple times and rename at once:

Sub Create()
'Updateby Extendoffice
    Dim I As Long
    Dim xNumber As Integer
    Dim xName As String
    Dim xActiveSheet As Worksheet
    On Error Resume Next
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Set xActiveSheet = ActiveSheet
    xNumber = InputBox("Enter number of times to copy the current sheet")
    For I = 1 To xNumber
        xName = ActiveSheet.Name
        xActiveSheet.Copy After:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(xName)
        ActiveSheet.Name = "KTE-" & I
    Next
    xActiveSheet.Activate
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

3. Then press F5 key to run this code, and a prompt box will remind you how many copies of the current worksheet that you want to copy, see screenshot:

4. Enter the number of copies into the popped dialog, and then click OK button, your current worksheet has been duplicated 5 copies and renamed with sequence name as following screenshot shown:

Note: In the above code, you can change the worksheet name text “KTE-” to your needed.
