Sub NewWSfromTemplate()
Dim WSName As String

Sheets("Template").Visible = True
Sheets("Template").Copy After:=Sheets(Worksheets.Count)
Sheets("Template").Visible = True
Sheets(Worksheets.Count).Select
WSName = Application.InputBox("Create new sheet")
ActiveSheet.Name = Range("k1").Value
Sheets("Template").Select
End Sub


I thought "ActiveSheet.Name = Range("k1").Value" would name the worksheet as the text in that cell but it asks for the tab name instead.

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Try
Code:
Sub NewWSfromTemplateV2()
 Sheets("Template").Visible = True
 Sheets("Template").Copy After:=Sheets(Worksheets.Count)
 ActiveSheet.Name = Range("k1").Value
End Sub
