'declare a variable
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = Workbooks("Exceldome.xlsx")
'activate the workbook specified above
wb.Activate

'insert three new worksheets in front of an active sheet in the workbook specified above
wb.Worksheets.Add , Count:=3
'the 3 in Count:=3 represents the number of new worksheets that will be inserted
'replace the Count number with the number of new worksheets you want to insert

METHOD 3. Insert multiple Excel worksheets in another closed workbook using VBA by referencing to a cell
VBA
Sub Insert_Multiple_Worksheets_in_Another_Closed_Workbook()
'declare a variable
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = Workbooks.Open("C:\Excel\Exceldome.xlsx")
ws = Workbooks("Examples.xlsm").Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
ws = Workbooks("Examples.xlsm").Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
'activate the workbook specified above
wb.Activate
wb.Activate
'open the workbook specified above and insert new worksheets in front of an active sheet using a cell reference that captures a value that represents the number of new worksheets to be inserted
wb.Worksheets.Add , Count:=ws
'this example assumes that cell ("A1") in Sheet1 in the Examples.xlsm workbook holds a value that represents the number of new worksheets to be inserted
wb.Worksheets.Add , Count:=ws
'this example assumes that cell ("A1") in Sheet1 in the Examples.xlsm workbook holds a value that represents the number of new worksheets to be inserted

PREREQUISITES
Workbook Location: Have the workbook that you are referencing to in the VBA code located on your device in the C:\Excel\ path.
Workbook Names: Have a closed workbook named Exceldome.xlsx, where you want to insert new worksheets, in the location specified in the VBA code.
Number of New Worksheets to Insert: Have the value that represents the number of new worksheets to be inserted in the specified workbook captured in cell ("A1") in Sheet1 in the Examples.xlsm workbook. For the VBA code to pick up the value that represents the number of new worksheets to insert the Examples.xlsm workbook must be open when the VBA code is run. In this example we are running the VBA code from the Examples.xlsm workbook and therefore the workbook is open when the VBA code is run. It would be best to include the value that represents the number of new worksheets in the same workbook where you have the VBA code. Using this method will allow for a more dynamic way of changing the number of new worksheets to insert.

EXPLANATION
This tutorial explains and provides step by step instructions on how to insert multiple worksheets in another open or closed workbook using a VBA method.
This tutorial explains and provides step by step instructions on how to insert multiple worksheets in another open or closed workbook using a VBA method.
You can insert multiple worksheets in another workbook by referencing to a specific workbook, in the VBA code, and ensure that the workbook is open when the VBA code is run.
You can also insert multiple worksheets in another closed workbook by referencing to a specific workbook, in the VBA code, and ensure that the workbook that you are referencing to is closed when then VBA code is run.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
Note 1: When the VBA code excludes reference to a specific sheet before or after which to insert new worksheets, the worksheets will be inserted in front of an active sheet.
