Split records into Individual Excel Files Based on Value from a Column-VBA

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hi All,
I have records in WorkSheet Named 'FileSep'. I want to split records based on the column value 'StoreName'. First, my macro code will copy all StoreName and paste into
another sheet named 'StoreName' and remove duplicates storename.

Now, my macro code should filter records from 'FileSep' based on value in sheet named 'StoreName'. But, no data is coming. Although, no error is coming.


Please help in this.
Regards,
Ravindra

Hello RK,

Another option:

You don't really need the "Store Name" sheet. The unique store names can be extracted from Column A and temporarily stored in another column in the same sheet with the new sheets created from these unique names. The following code does just that:-

Code:
Option Explicit

Sub Test()

              Dim i As Integer, lr As Long
              Dim sh As Worksheet, ws As Worksheet, ar As Variant
       
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
       
              Set sh = Sheets("FileSep")
              lr = sh.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
              sh.Range("A1:A" & lr).AdvancedFilter 2, , sh.[M1], 1  
              sh.Range("M2", sh.Range("M" & sh.Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Sort [M2], 1 
              ar = sh.Range("M2", sh.Range("M" & sh.Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
             
       For i = 1 To UBound(ar)
              If Not Evaluate("ISREF('" & CStr(ar(i, 1)) & "'!A1)") Then
                    Sheets.Add(After:=Sheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = ar(i, 1)
              End If
                   
              Set ws = Sheets(CStr(ar(i, 1)))
              ws.UsedRange.Clear
                   
              With sh.[A1].CurrentRegion
                   .AutoFilter 1, ar(i, 1)
                   .Copy ws.[A1]
                   .AutoFilter
             End With
                   ws.Columns.AutoFit
       Next i

             sh.Columns("M").Clear
             sh.Select

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

The code temporarily stores the unique names in Column M then sorts them and from there creates the new sheets with the relevant data for each store added.
Column M is then cleared.

I hope that this helps.

Cheerio,
vcoolio.
 
Thanks... I will really appreciate if you can put definition of each line in your code. I mean can give definition at important block of code, it will be easier to learn VBA to me.

Thanks for your valuable time
 
Hello RK,

Here is the code again with some notes added for you:-

Code:
Option Explicit

Sub Test()

              Dim i As Integer, lr As Long
              Dim sh As Worksheet, ws As Worksheet, ar As Variant
      
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
      
              Set sh = Sheets("FileSep")
              lr = sh.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
              sh.Range("A1:A" & lr).AdvancedFilter 2, , sh.[M1], 1 'Unique values moved temporarily to Column M.
              sh.Range("M2", sh.Range("M" & sh.Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Sort [M2], 1  'Sort the unique values. This will speed the code up.
              ar = sh.Range("M2", sh.Range("M" & sh.Rows.Count).End(xlUp)) 'The array of unique values stored in Column M.
            
       For i = 1 To UBound(ar) 'Begin the loop through the array items.
       'This next section evaluates if the worksheets(based on the names in Column A)already exist. If they don't exist then a new sheet is added _
       and named with a unique value.
              If Not Evaluate("ISREF('" & CStr(ar(i, 1)) & "'!A1)") Then
                    Sheets.Add(After:=Sheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = ar(i, 1)
              End If
                  
              Set ws = Sheets(CStr(ar(i, 1))) 'The variable ws is given values(in this case, the unique sheet names in the array).
              ws.UsedRange.Clear
                  
              With sh.[A1].CurrentRegion 'CurrentRegion is the dataset in the "FileSep" sheet beginning at A1.
                   .AutoFilter 1, ar(i, 1) 'The filter is placed on Column A(1) with the criteria being the array values.
                   .Copy ws.[A1] 'Copies to the newly created individual worksheets starting at A1 and includes the headings.
                   .AutoFilter 'The filter is turmed off.
             End With
                   ws.Columns.AutoFit
       Next i 'Move onto the next array item in the loop.

             sh.Columns("M").Clear 'Column M is cleared of the unique values.
             sh.Select

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

            If s1.Range("A" & j) = s2.Range("A" & i) Then 'compare the values in the two sheets

            End If
        Next i
    Next j
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True 'pastes the screen values.
    MsgBox "Completed"
End Sub

Thanks, but actual I need to import each record into Individual Excel File, whereas above code is splitting records in several sheets in single workbook. Please see if it can be fixed.

Hi, according to your attachment a VBA demonstration for starters (all is yet explained in VBA help, a must read !) :​
Code:
Sub Demo1()
         Dim V, R&
    With Application
        .DisplayAlerts = False
        .ScreenUpdating = False
        .SheetsInNewWorkbook = 1
    With Sheet1.[A1].CurrentRegion
        .Columns(1).AdvancedFilter 2, , Sheet2.[A1], True
         With Sheet2.[A1].CurrentRegion:  .Sort .Cells(1), 1, Header:=1:  V = .Value2:  End With
         Workbooks.Add
     For R = UBound(V) To 2 Step -1
         Application.StatusBar = "      Processing store " & V(R, 1)
         ActiveSheet.Name = Left(V(R, 1), 31)
         Sheet2.[A2].Value2 = V(R, 1)
        .AdvancedFilter 2, Sheet2.[A1:A2], [A1]
         [A1].ColumnWidth = .Cells(1).ColumnWidth
         ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & V(R, 1), 51

Do you like it ? So thanks to click on bottom right Like !​
 
This code does exactly what you asked for in your original post. Why have you changed your requirements? Why did you not ask for what you want originally instead of wasting our time with a solution you did not want. Sorry, but you have wasted enough of my time. I'm out.
 
Sorry Alan to partially disagree as​
  • the title of this thread is enough explicit,

  • nothing in the initial post explanation about sheets but yes it should be more elaborated
    'cause of the code in the attachment creating new sheets instead of new workbooks, that's confusing …
 
Hi All,
I have records in WorkSheet Named 'FileSep'. I want to split records based on the column value 'StoreName'. First, my macro code will copy all StoreName and paste into
another sheet named 'StoreName' and remove duplicates storename.

Now, my macro code should filter records from 'FileSep' based on value in sheet named 'StoreName'. But, no data is coming. Although, no error is coming.


Please help in this.

As my post #9 demonstration works a treat on my side with the initial attachment​
so you must detail which error on which codeline as I'm a very beginner to guess anything …​
 
It seems you have some forbidden character in a store name to be saved as a workbook …​

Dear, Please check my latest excel file this is very different than previous one. When I run macro records zone wise is excluded in individual Excel files, but as soon as it reaches Zone- North-2, it gets stuck and throw errror. You may try the same at your end. file Name is "PK_DUNNING"
 
As the code within your post #12 attachment is not mine so it seems to be another question for a new thread ?​
In case your error comes when using my demonstration​
so just replace the forbidden characters - according to Windows help for the files names - from the stores names …​

Yes Sir, it my code. I am helpless. I will really appreciate if someone can fix issue.
 
So back to post #13 : which error & message and on which codeline ?​
Maybe the solution is already within the error message, just for good enough readers …​
 
As I don't see your new thread in this VBA Macros forum section, never mind this one is now closed …​
