I need some help. I want to create separate worksheets for each unique name found in Column A of the first worksheet in the workbook. Then I want to copy the entire row of data in the first worksheet to the newly created worksheets.


Using "Doc" as an example. A new worksheet is created named "Doc" and then each row of data that has "Doc" in column A would get copied to the new worksheet named "Doc". I need that for all the names in Column A. There will be some entries that just have a hyphen in Column A. It too needs it's own worksheet. My work laptop isn't allow me to install the MrExcel HTML Maker, so I'm just cutting and pasting it. I know it's not preferred.

The top row is a header starting at A1

Why not just filter on each Engineer's name to see only that Data. Highlight your top line which displays your categories. Click on Data. Click on Filter. In the Engineer Column, click on the dropdown arrow and select an Engineer.

Thank you DanteAmor. You got me half way to my goal. Your code generates separate worksheets for each engineer and puts a header row at the top of each, but it does not copy the rows associated with each engineer to the appropriate worksheet.

alansidman,

This is going to be a report that will go out to a list of engineers with ticket assignments for each to complete. My peer has been doing it manually for about a year and did not know that it could be automated. I know that it can, just not how it is done.

The macro works for me. Maybe there are spaces in column A, or something weird is in your data.
Try this:


Code: 
Sub Create_separate_worksheet()
    Dim c As Range, sh As Worksheet, Ky As Variant
    
    Set sh = Sheets(1)
    If sh.AutoFilterMode Then sh.AutoFilterMode = False
    With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
        For Each c In sh.Range("A2", sh.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
            If c.Value <> "" Then .Item(c.Value) = Empty
        Next c
        For Each Ky In .Keys
            sh.Range("A1:H" & sh.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).AutoFilter 1, Ky
            Sheets.Add(, Sheets(Sheets.Count)).Name = Ky
            sh.AutoFilter.Range.EntireRow.Copy Range("A1")
        Next Ky

See if this works for you.

Code: 
Sub Seperate_By_Engineer()
    Dim shArray()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    ReDim shArray(Sheets"Tickets").UsedRange.Rows.Count, Sheets("Tickets").UsedRange.Columns.Count)
    shArray = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(UBound(shArray, 1), UBound(shArray, 2)))
    For i = LBound(shArray, 1) + 1 To UBound(shArray, 1)
        doCreate = True
        For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
            If sh.Name = shArray(i, 1) Then
                doCreate = False
                Exit For
            End If
        Next sh
        If doCreate Then
            Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add
            ws.Name = shArray(i, 1)
            For x = LBound(shArray, 1) To UBound(shArray, 1)
                For y = LBound(shArray, 2) To UBound(shArray, 2)
                    If x = LBound(shArray, 1) Then
                        ws.Cells(x, y) = shArray(x, y)
                    Else
                        If shArray(x, 1) = shArray(i, 1) Then
                            If y = 1 Then curRow = ws.UsedRange.Rows.Count + 1
                            ws.Cells(curRow, y) = shArray(x, y)
                        End If
                    End If
                Next y
            Next x

I'm getting a compile error on the 3rd line:
ReDim shArray(Sheets"Tickets").UsedRange.Rows.Count, Sheets("Tickets").UsedRange.Columns.Count)

DanteAmor,
Disregard my earlier reply where I said that it only made the worksheets, but didn't copy the data. I made a mistake. Your macro works like a champ. Thank you.
