Split to Files - adjustment

[MrMap]

Hello,
I am trying to split an excel workbook into different files. I've found a macro online and it works great.

I forgot, however, that a number of fields in my spreadsheet have data validation. In addition to splitting the workbook I will also need to copy and paste an additional sheet where all of the domains are listed (the sheet is called 'LISTS').

I know very little about VBA but here is what I've done in the script below:

I've added a Dim for the sheet with all the domains (called 'Lists').


Dim lsh As Worksheet ' Lists Work Sheet

Next I tried to set the lsh object to refer to the specific worksheet in the workbook.


Set lsh = Sheets("LISTS")

However, this is as far as I can get. Did I set the "lsh" object correctly? Is there a way to set an object as a specific worksheet? Once I've set it what would be the syntax to call on the object to be copied?

I realize that I might be confusing concepts and I apologize. Any help would be welcome.

Thanks. See the code below.

' Version 1
' Description:
' Loops through a specified column, and split each distinct values into a separate file by making a copy and deleting rows below and above
'
' Note: Values in the column should be unique or sorted.
'
' The following cells are ignored when delimiting sections:
' - blank cells, or containing spaces only
' - same value repeated
' - cells containing "total"
'
' Files are saved in a "Split" subfolder from the location of the source workbook, and named after the section name.

Try these changes
CopySheet osh, lsh, iFirstRow, iStartRow, iStopRow, iTotalRows, sFilePath, sSectionName, oWB.fileFormat
Public Sub CopySheet(osh As Worksheet, lsh As Worksheet, iFirstRow As Long, iStartRow As Long, iStopRow As Long, iTotalRows As Long, sFilePath As String, sSectionName As String, fileFormat As XlFileFormat)
' Copy book
Sheets(Array(osh.Name, lsh.Name)).Copy
Set ash = Sheets(osh.Name)
