Howdy dear Excel specialists,

This is my first time on any Excel forums. I've tried to look at other threads before posting this one, yet I don't seem to be able to apply it to my own situation, nor can I understand a thing of that VBA witchcraft.

So I have this main table that regroups all transactions made by any department, put in chronological order.

I would now like to autofill per-department tables in other sheets, with transactions having the sole criteria of belonging to a specific department.
Yet I wish to copy the entire row of 15 columns.

As nobody knows the amount of transactions throughout the year, the tables have to be dynamic.
As such, and considering how little I know about VBA, it comes to my understanding that I can't rely on functions alone and that there shall be a certain portion of macro learning.

I know similar threads exist out there, but I struggle to find a discussion that deals with dynamic databases.

Since there are some crafty excel enthusiasts out here, I wondered if you had some of those tips most mortals can't even dream of possessing.

With my undying gratitude,
Love from France ♥,

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.

What is the name of the column heading of the 'department' column in the main table? The main table can be autofiltered using this column by each specific department.

Do you really mean 'autofill', as in filling down and generating rows automatically? Or do you mean 'copy' rows from the main table to each specific department table?

What are the names of the other sheets containing the department tables? Are the sheet names related to the department names? E.g. department "AA" is on the sheet named "AA".

What are the names of the department tables? If they don't have specific names what are the index numbers of the tables on each sheet? E.g. each department table is the 1st table on each sheet.

Hi,

Thank you for your concern!

I understand that my message was quite unclear, so after a bit of learning I wrote my very first excel macro!

One may think this macro humble, but I'm proud and happy it kinda work.

VBA Code: 
Sub ExportFilteredData()

Dim shGen As Worksheet
Dim shDicom As Worksheet
Dim DirDICOM As String

Set shGen = Sheets("Tab_Général")
Set shDicom = Sheets("Auto_DICOM")

Set StartCell = Range("A16")

' I. DICOM. Find last row

Alright I messed up the VBA wrap up.

Insert code between vba code tags, you left the vba code tags on the end of your post, thats why it is empty.
VBA Code: 
sub yourbrolucas ()

Alright thank you everyone, although I'd be delighted to know how I could improve the effectiveness/simplicity of this macro, I think I will keep it for another thread and issue.

Until next time,
