Put number next to Sheet name

[K]

Hi all, I want macro which should add WorkSheet and then check if
there are more WorkSheets in ActiveWorkbook, and if there are more
WorkSheets then check if any of those WorkSheet got name "Data". If
there is no WorkSheet with name "Data" then put name "Data" to new
added WorkSheet but if there is a WorkSheet with name "Data" then put
name "Data(1)" of new added WorkSheet, and if there are WorkSheets
with names "Data" and "Data(1)" then put name "Data(2)" of new added
WorkSheet and so on like (3),(4).... I hope i was able to explain what
i need. Please can any friend can help

shName = baseName
On Error Resume Next
Worksheets.Add
ActiveSheet.Name = shName
Do While ActiveSheet.Name <> shName

i = i + 1
shName = baseName & "(" & i & ")"

Bob answered you question, but just a bit of clarification...

and then check if
there are more WorkSheets in ActiveWorkbook,

A workbook must contains at least one worksheet and at least one sheet
must be visible. There is no such thing as a workbook without any
worksheets. Thus, the test "if there are more worksheets in
ActiveWorkbook" is unnecessary. Since the must be at least one sheet
to begin with, there will necessarily be "more worksheets" after a new
sheet is added.
