Hi, I have a master sheet I want to be able to copy by pressing a button then getting a popup asking what name I the user wants to name the sheet and then use that to name the sheet.

Thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Excel Can Read to You
Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
So you want to copy a sheet named "Master".
And then you want a Inputbox to Popup asking what name to give the new sheet is that what you want?

Try this:
Code:
Sub Copy_Master()
'Modified 6/12/2019 12:24:16 AM  EDT
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error GoTo M
Dim ans As String
ans = InputBox("The New sheet you want named", "Enter new sheet name")
Sheets("Master").Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
ActiveSheet.Name = ans
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Exit Sub
M:
MsgBox ans & "  Is not a proper sheet name or has already been used"
End Sub

Sheets("Master").Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
ActiveSheet.Name = ans
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Exit Sub
M:
MsgBox ans & "  Is not a proper sheet name or has already been used"
End Sub

That almost works but when using existing name I get the error but a new sheets still gets created ie Master (1)

So what do you want to happen?

We can automatically delete the sheet or just warn you and you can delete the sheet.

TY. Not a deal breaker but when i select the same name it doesn't give me the popup again just stops and I have to click the button again. Is there a way to make it so the popup comes back to enter a different name. Also any reason the new sheets formating would show up differently ie the rows do not have the same height as the original. Also when i press cancel it still gives me a popup that this name is already used.

Well we are copying the sheet so all the row heights should be the same.

As far as your new requests now about what if this happens or that happens then Please rewrite your original post and spell out in exact detail all your requirements and be very specific.

Thanks, you don't really think of all the nuances until there is code and you see all the different issues that pop up. I will rewrite.
