need some code to move items into new sheets

[Immatoity]

hi

I have one long list dloaded from Sage.. now in Excel 2003.

Columns A-E are populated.

I need some VBA that will look down column A ( which contains supplier names) and every time it comes across a "new/diff" one I want it to cut that data for that supplier and put it in a new sheet and also name the tab the same as the supplier , essentially leaving me with multiple tabs with each supplier's data in it alone.

The data is already sorted by column A ( supplier name)

Public Sub ProcessData()
Dim i As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim StartRow As Long
Dim shName As String
Dim This As Worksheet
Dim Sh As Worksheet

Set This = ActiveSheet
With This

LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
StartRow = 1
For i = 1 To LastRow

If .Cells(i, "A").Value <> .Cells(i + 1, "A").Value Then

shName = .Cells(i, "A").Value
Set Sh = AddSheet(shName)
.Rows(StartRow).Resize(i - StartRow + 1).Copy Sh.Range("A1")
StartRow = i + 1
End If
Next i

.Activate
End With

End Sub


Function AddSheet(Sh As String, _
Optional wb As Workbook) As Worksheet
Dim SheetExists As Boolean
If wb Is Nothing Then Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
On Error Resume Next
SheetExists = CBool(Not wb.Worksheets(Sh) Is Nothing)
On Error GoTo 0
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
If SheetExists Then wb.Worksheets(Sh).Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
wb.Worksheets.Add after:=wb.Worksheets(wb.Worksheets.Count)
Set AddSheet = ActiveSheet
AddSheet.Name = Sh
End Function

amazing thanks ever so much!!

could I tweak it so it only copies the items held in columns C & D to the new tabs and copies the data to A8 in each tab (as each tab has a header etc)

You could try

[vba]

Public Sub ProcessData()
Dim i As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim StartRow As Long
Dim shName As String
Dim This As Worksheet
Dim Sh As Worksheet

Set This = ActiveSheet
With This

LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
StartRow = 1
For i = 1 To LastRow

If .Cells(i, "A").Value <> .Cells(i + 1, "A").Value Then

shName = .Cells(i, "A").Value
Set Sh = AddSheet(shName)
.Cells(StartRow, "C").Resize(i - StartRow + 1, 2).Copy Sh.Range("A8")
StartRow = i + 1
End If
Next i

.Activate
End With

End Sub


Function AddSheet(Sh As String, _
Optional wb As Workbook) As Worksheet
Dim SheetExists As Boolean
If wb Is Nothing Then Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
On Error Resume Next
SheetExists = CBool(Not wb.Worksheets(Sh) Is Nothing)
On Error Goto 0
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
If SheetExists Then wb.Worksheets(Sh).Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
wb.Worksheets.Add after:=wb.Worksheets(wb.Worksheets.Count)
Set AddSheet = ActiveSheet
AddSheet.Name = Sh
End Function

thank you again xld...

one last favour on this task please

I have multiple sheets now (which I wanted)...

I need to print preview all of these as they all need to be setup to print to one page first.. is there any VBA to do this..

I think 80%, margins 0.5 all round and portrait will do it but I dont know how to "assign" these parameters to each sheet with VBA

I tried recording but it seems to "loop" and I want it to go through all sheets for me not just go to the next.. this is not the most elegant of coding by me

hi..tried using this again today... but it fails? I get an error code "400"..no idea what that means..

it creates 23 sheets then fails..no idea why.. I have no blank rows or anything

EDIT : worked it out..one of the supplier names had a "/" in it..hence the naming of sheet failed..doh
