'Summary: Based on selected column, data is filtered to individual sheets
' Creates sheets and sorts sheets alphabetically in workbook
' 6/10/2010 - added check to abort if only one value in vCol
' 7/22/2010 - added ability to parse numeric values consistently
' 11/16/2011 - changed way Unique values are collected, no Adv Filter
