Is it possible to autofill a hyper link reference in a worksheet.?

Example

A
1 sheet1
2 sheet2
3 sheet3

etc.

And one more question if you don't mind.
Is it possble to auto create new worksheets that areidentical to to previous and automaticall rename it

Example
sheet30 = 030-cs
I would like to automatically increase the of series of worksheets that would automatically be renamed 031-CS 032-CS 033-CS ETC

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Create a chart in one keystroke
Select the data and press Alt+F1 to insert a default chart. You can change the default chart to any chart type
Here's a simple code that should be easy to edit to match your needs:
Code:
Sub CopySheetMenu()

Dim MenuSheet As Worksheet
Dim TemplateSheet As Worksheet
Dim WS As Worksheet
Dim c As Range

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Set MenuSheet = ActiveSheet     'This is the sheet where you want to place your hyperlinks
Set c = MenuSheet.Range("A1")

Set TemplateSheet = Sheet2   'This is the sheet to be duplicated

'Copies the TemplateSheet after all the existing sheets:
TemplateSheet.Copy after:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)

'Names the new wheet and clears the given range:
With ActiveSheet
    .Name = Right("00" & Sheets.Count, 3) & "-CS"
    .Range("A1:B2,D3:H4").Value = ""
End With

'Clears the existing Menu (=to make sure it's up to date / all the sheets still exist):
MenuSheet.Range("A1:A" & Rows.Count).Clear

'Makes the new Menu:
For Each WS In Worksheets

'Skips the MenuSheet and the TemplateSheet from the hyperlinks-menu:
    If WS.Name <> MenuSheet.Name And WS.Name <> TemplateSheet.Name Then
        MenuSheet.Hyperlinks.Add anchor:=c, Address:="", SubAddress:="'" & WS.Name & "'!A1", TextToDisplay:=WS.Name
        Set c = c.Offset(1, 0)
    End If

'Goes back to MenuSheet:
MenuSheet.Activate

Next WS

End Sub

Great code.
Is there a way to set a range for the macro to automatically create. As it is, it will only create one link and worksheet at a time. Would it be possible to have the macro create 2000 and then stop?

Thanks

You want the macro to create 2000 new sheets at once?
Code:
Sub CopySheetMenu()

Dim MenuSheet As Worksheet
Dim TemplateSheet As Worksheet
Dim WS As Worksheet
Dim c As Range
Dim i As Long

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Set MenuSheet = ActiveSheet     'This is the sheet where you want to place your hyperlinks
Set c = MenuSheet.Range("A1")

Set TemplateSheet = Sheet2   'This is the sheet to be duplicated

For i = 1 To 20 'adjust the number to match the number of sheets you want to create

'Copies the TemplateSheet after all the existing sheets:
TemplateSheet.Copy after:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)

'Names the new wheet and clears the given range:
With ActiveSheet
    .Name = Right("00" & Sheets.Count, 3) & "-CS"
    .Range("A1:B2,D3:H4").Value = ""
End With

Next i

'Clears the existing Menu (=to make sure it's up to date / all the sheets still exist):
MenuSheet.Range("A1:A" & Rows.Count).Clear

'Makes the new Menu:
For Each WS In Worksheets

'Skips the MenuSheet and the TemplateSheet from the hyperlinks-menu:
    If WS.Name <> MenuSheet.Name And WS.Name <> TemplateSheet.Name Then
        MenuSheet.Hyperlinks.Add anchor:=c, Address:="", SubAddress:="'" & WS.Name & "'!A1", TextToDisplay:=WS.Name
        Set c = c.Offset(1, 0)
    End If

'Goes back to MenuSheet:
MenuSheet.Activate

Next WS

End Sub

Yes I meant 2000. I get a 400 error after it reaches 1000. It actually names 1000 as 000 then name 1001 as 001(2) then I get the 400 error and no links are created after the error

The error message comes from the renaming of the sheets: It only takes the 3 last characters and when the number is 1000, the 3 last characters are the same as in the beginning. Fix the naming part (either using the If-then -or just by skipping the 3 last characters limit) and it should work.
