Excel VBA activate worksheet - vba

Question

I need to activate a specific worksheet. The code is meant to create worksheets with a specif name. I need to paste something from a another worksheet into all these newly created worksheets. The code that I'm using is below. But I'm having a hard time activating the newly created worksheet to paste what I want.
Sub octo()
'Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim Ki As Range
Dim ListSh As Range
Workbooks.Open ("C:\Users\Dash\Dropbox\Randika\Misc\Emmash timesheets\timesheet.xlsx")
With Worksheets("PPE 05-17-15")
Set ListSh = .Range("B4:B" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row)
End With
On Error Resume Next
For Each Ki In ListSh
If Len(Trim(Ki.Value)) > 0 Then
If Len(Worksheets(Ki.Value).Name) = 0 Then
Worksheets.Add(After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = Ki.Value
'open template
Workbooks.Open ("C:\Users\Dash\Dropbox\Randika\Misc\Emmash timesheets\octo_template.xls")
Range("A1:L31").Select
Selection.Copy
Worksheets(Ki.Value).Activate
If ThisWorkbook.Saved = False Then
ThisWorkbook.Save
End If
End If
End If
Next Ki
End Sub

Answer 1

Both Workbooks.Open and Worksheets.Add return references to the opened and added objects, which you can use to directly access and modify them - and in your case, to paste data.
Example:
Dim oSourceSheet As Worksheet
Dim oTargetSheet As Worksheet
Set oSourceSheet = Sheet1 'Set reference to any sheet, Sheet1 in my example
Set oTargetSheet = Worksheets.Add(After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count))
oSourceSheet.Range("A1:L31").Copy
oTargetSheet.Paste
Set oSourceSheet = Nothing
Set oTargetSheet = Nothing

Answer 2

I think that is what you need. As what been mentioned by chris, there is no need Activate or Select. Hope the following code solve your problem.
Option Explicit
Dim MyTemplateWorkbook As Workbook
Dim MyDataWorkbook As Workbook
Dim MyTemplateWorksheet As Worksheet
Dim MyDataWorksheet As Worksheet
Dim MyNewDataWorksheet As Worksheet
Dim CurrentRange As Range
Dim ListRange As Range
Sub AddWSAndGetData()
Set MyTemplateWorkbook = Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\lengkgan\Desktop\Testing\MyTemplate.xlsx")
Set MyTemplateWorksheet = MyTemplateWorkbook.Sheets("Template")
Set MyDataWorkbook = Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\lengkgan\Desktop\Testing\MyData1.xlsx")
Set MyDataWorksheet = MyDataWorkbook.Sheets("PPE 05-17-15")
Set ListRange = MyDataWorksheet.Range("B4:B" & MyDataWorksheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error Resume Next
For Each CurrentRange In ListRange
If Len(Trim(CurrentRange.Value)) > 0 Then
If Len(MyDataWorksheet(CurrentRange.Value).Name) = 0 Then
Worksheets.Add(After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = CurrentRange.Value
Set MyNewDataWorksheet = MyDataWorkbook.Sheets(ActiveSheet.Name)
MyNewDataWorksheet.Range("A1:L31").Value = MyTemplateWorksheet.Range("A1:L31").Value
If MyDataWorkbook.Saved = False Then
MyDataWorkbook.Save
End If
End If
End If
Next CurrentRange
MyTemplateWorkbook.Close (False) 'Close the template without saving
End Sub
