I'm using the code below. If I only have one hidden sheet it works fine. but i have multiple hidden sheets abd at that point it no longer functions properly.

Please help. thank you,

Code:
Sub AutoAddSheet()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim LastRow As Long, MyCell As Range
    LastRow = Sheets("Info Entry").Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    For Each MyCell In Sheets("Info Entry").Range("N26:N" & LastRow)
        Sheets(MyCell.Value).Visible = True
        Sheets(MyCell.Value).Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count) 'Create a new worksheet as a copy of Sheet number
        Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = MyCell.Offset(0, -13).Value 'Renames the new worksheets
        Sheets(MyCell.Value).Visible = False
    Next MyCell
    Worksheets("Info Entry").Activate
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
The code works happily for me.
Run this
Code:
Sub AutoAddSheet()
   Application.ScreenUpdating = False
   Dim LastRow As Long, MyCell As Range
   Dim Msg As String
   LastRow = Sheets("Info Entry").Cells.find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
   For Each MyCell In Sheets("Info Entry").Range("N26:N" & LastRow)
      If Not Evaluate("isref('" & MyCell.Value & "'!A1)") Then
         Msg = Msg & vbLf & MyCell.Value
      End If
   Next MyCell
   Worksheets("Info Entry").Activate
   Application.ScreenUpdating = True
   If Not Msg = "" Then MsgBox Msg
End Sub
Do you get a message box appear at the end?

This still doesn't work. Any ideas from anyone?

Code:
Sub AutoAddSheet()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim LastRow As Long, MyCell As Range
    LastRow = Sheets("Info Entry").Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    For Each MyCell In Sheets("Info Entry").Range("N26:N" & LastRow)
        Sheets(MyCell.Value).Visible = True
        Sheets(MyCell.Value).Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count) 'Create a new worksheet as a copy of Sheet number
        Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = MyCell.Offset(0, -13).Value 'Renames the new worksheets
        Sheets(MyCell.Value).Visible = False
    Next MyCell
    Worksheets("Info Entry").Activate
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
[code]

Thanks,

Have you tried the code I supplied in post#12?
If so did you get a message box appear?

When I tried this macro on a dummy workbook, I believe it worked as you requested unless I misinterpreted what you want to do. I think that it would be easier to help and test possible solutions if I could work with your actual file which includes any macros you are currently using. Perhaps you could upload a copy of your file to a free site such as www.box.com or www.dropbox.com. Once you do that, mark it for 'Sharing' and you will be given a link to the file that you can post here. Include a detailed explanation of what you would like to do using a few examples from your data and referring to specific cells, rows, columns and worksheets. If the workbook contains confidential information, you could replace it with generic data.
Code:
Sub AutoAddSheet()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim LastRow As Long, MyCell As Range, ws As Worksheet
    LastRow = Sheets("Info Entry").Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    For Each ws In Sheets
        ws.Visible = True
    Next ws
    For Each MyCell In Sheets("Info Entry").Range("N2:N" & LastRow)
        Sheets(MyCell.Value).Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count) 'Create a new worksheet as a copy of Sheet number
        Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = MyCell.Offset(0, -1).Value 'Renames the new worksheets
        Sheets(MyCell.Value).Visible = False
    Next MyCell
    Worksheets("Info Entry").Activate
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
