Trying to find unique names in column B, and copy any rows with said name to new worksheet.
i.e. Alex clocks in twice this week he will fill two rows with data, I want to move his two rows of data to their own worksheet. Fred only clocks in once and creates 1 row of data, I want to move his row to a new worksheet.
Problem, it is copying row 2 to multiple of the new worksheets

I would likely do it this way, but this would need more error checking.
