Create New Sheet (Template) VBA

I am creating a macro to create a new sheet that is a template that has already been created. I want to create a variable that references this new sheet so I can use it in a sum function.

Here is what I have:

Sub TotalSum()
'
' TotalSum Macro
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Sheets.Add Type:="C:Users cweberDesktopNCR & NDE TEMPLATE.xltx"
'
Dim WS As Worksheet

WS = ActiveSheet.Select -------> I want to reference WS as this newly created template.
