Hi Guys,

Is there a quick way to transfer tabs in a single workbook to their own workbook, Basically i have one excel file with 200+ Tabs, Each tab now needs to a file to itself so 200+ workbooks.

At the moment i am just copying and pasting and saving, Just looking for the quicker workflow.

Thanks.

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Right click the tab, select "Move or Copy", Check the box "Create a copy", in the "To book" drop down pick "(new book)"
Then you can "File", "SaveAs"

or you could run the following code that takes all sheets (tabs) and creates a new workbook with the tab name as the name of the workbook... saved in the same folder as the main workbook.

Code:
Sub TabToBook()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim strFolder As String

strFolder = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\"

For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
    ws.Copy
    
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=strFolder & ws.Name & ".xlsx", FileFormat:= _
        xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False
    
    ActiveWindow.Close
Next

MsgBox "Done", vbExclamation, "Thanks Pat"

End Sub

End Sub
Is there a way to save all these documents in a folder within the folder the original document is in?
