Is it at all possible for me to have a sort of "Schema" worksheet, that when someone enters text in one of the cells, excel will create a new worksheet with the name set as the text typed in the schema worksheets cell?

If so, is it possibly to have it create a customized worksheet, sort of based off a default one?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!!

Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
pretty simple. You can create a macro linked to the change event of the specific sheet. Whenever that cell is altered you can create a new sheet with the name of whatever is in the cell. Alternatively you could copy an exisitng sheet and re-name it. The code below has to go in the module associated with the sheet where the name is typed.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

    If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range("a1")) Is Nothing Then
        Sheets("Template").Copy after:=Sheets("sheet1")  'change to reflect your sheet names
        ActiveSheet.Name = Target.Value
        
    End If

End Sub
