I am working on extracting some information from an existing spreadsheet and copying the information to another sheet based on search. In column named Welder I want to extract that rows information for each individual welder initial and create a different workbook for each one. What would be the simplest way to achieve this? I am thinking Macro but don't know where to start. This is worksheet 1 from which the information will pull from.

Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
How about
Code: 
Sub FilterCopy()
   Dim Ws As Worksheet
   Dim Cl As Range
   
   Set Ws = Sheets("Sheet1")
   If Ws.AutoFilterMode Then Ws.AutoFilterMode = False
   With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
      For Each Cl In Ws.Range("H2", Ws.Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
         If Not .Exists(Cl.Value) Then
            .Add Cl.Value, Nothing
            Ws.Range("A1:M11").AutoFilter 8, Cl.Value
            Sheets.Add(, Ws).Name = Cl.Value
            Ws.AutoFilter.Range.Copy Sheets(Cl.Value).Range("A1")
         End If
      Next Cl
   End With
   Ws.AutoFilterMode = False
End Sub

When I run the Macro it just deletes all the information from column and creates a sheet 2

Re-Ran it again and now it deletes all information from sheet1 except column headings and creates separate sheets with the person initials but only returns the column headings and none of the information in the rows.

That code does not delete anything.
It should simply create new sheets, name them as per the value in col H and then copy columns A:M to the new sheet.
