Hi All

I've got myself a piece of code that splits each sheet in a workbook into it's own workbook. I've been using this forever (6+ years) in several different jobs I've had and it's done me well.
However, is there a means to make it skip hidden sheets as for the particular workbook I'm working off, theres a 60mb sheet that I don't need splitting (compared to the others which are only 60-70kb) and it slows down the process so much.

At present the code is as follows


VBA Code:
Sub SaveSheets()

' Save sheets as seperate workbooks
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+W


Dim wbDest As Workbook
Dim wbSource As Workbook
Dim sht As Object 
Dim strSavePath As String

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Application.ScreenUpdating = False 
strSavePath = "C:\Users\XXXXXX\OneDrive - XXXXXXX\Documents\Temp\New folder\" 'Change this to suit your needs
Set wbSource = ActiveWorkbook

For Each sht In wbSource.Sheets
sht.Copy

    Cells.Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Selection.Copy
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
    Application.CutCopyMode = False

Set wbDest = ActiveWorkbook
wbDest.SaveAs strSavePath & "Dashboard - " & sht.Name
wbDest.Close 
Next

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Exit Sub

ErrorHandler: 'Just in case something hideous happens
MsgBox "An error has occurred. Error number=" & Err.Number & ". Error description=" & Err.Description & "."
End Sub

Hi, you could test the visibility of the sheet at the start of your for loop, for example.

Rich (BB code):
For Each sht In wbSource.Sheets
    If sht.Visible = xlSheetVisible Then
        
        'the rest of your code within the for loop....
        
    End If
Next
