I need to create new tabs in a workbook based upon a range of cells in a worksheet template. I also want to delete rows of data that do not match the tab name. For example, from the table below I would have a new tab named "2206 - 6" and only data associated with that would remain, keeping in mind that this range of data will change each time the macro is used.
Before:
After:
Interval Number 2206 - 6 6304 - 5 4102 - 20
The table begins in row 11, but I need to retain all of the information above. I have an Advanced Filter Macro that gets close to what I want, but its doing two things I don't want: creating empty tabs and not retaining information above row 11.
Sub parse_data()
Dim lr As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim vcol, i As Integer
Dim icol As Long
Dim myarr As Variant
Dim title As String
Dim titlerow As Integer
vcol = 1
Set ws = Sheets("Offshore Searches")
lr = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, vcol).End(xlUp).Row
title = "A11:G20"
titlerow = ws.Range(title).Cells(1).Row
icol = ws.Columns.Count
ws.Cells(1, icol) = "Unique"
For i = 2 To lr
On Error Resume Next
If ws.Cells(i, vcol) <> "" And _
Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(ws.Cells(i, vcol), ws.Columns(icol), 0) = 0 Then
ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, icol).End(xlUp).Offset(1) = ws.Cells(i, vcol)
End If
Next
myarr = Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(ws.Columns(icol).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants))
ws.Columns(icol).Clear
For i = 2 To UBound(myarr)
ws.Range(title).AutoFilter field:=vcol, Criteria1:=myarr(i) & ""
If Not Evaluate("=ISREF('" & myarr(i) & "'!A1)") Then
Sheets.Add(after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = myarr(i) & ""
Else
Sheets(myarr(i) & "").Move after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)
End If
ws.Range("A" & titlerow & ":A" & lr).EntireRow.Copy Sheets(myarr(i) & "").Range("A1")
Sheets(myarr(i) & "").Columns.AutoFit
Next
ws.AutoFilterMode = False
ws.Activate
End Sub
I also have a macro which creates tabs based on a range without the advanced filter, so each tab looks identical (just the tab name changes)
Sub CreateWorkSheetByRange()
Dim WorkRng As Range
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim arr As Variant
On Error Resume Next
Set WorkRng = Application.Selection
Set WorkRng = Application.InputBox("Range", xTitleId, WorkRng.Address, Type:=8)
arr = WorkRng.Value
Sheets("Offshore Searches").Select
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = 1 To UBound(arr, 1)
For j = 1 To UBound(arr, 2)
Set ws = Worksheets.Add(after:=Application.ActiveSheet)
ws.Name = arr(i, j)
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("A1").Select
Next
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Is there a way to both create tabs based on a range while simultaneously using an advanced filter?
Another option (tested)
All functions bellow, in a separate module
It copies the main sheet, deletes the button and uses auto filter to remove unneeded rows
This uses dictionaries and late binding is slow:
CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")Early binding is fast: VBA Editor -> Tools -> References -> Add Microsoft Scripting Runtime
