New tabs based on content

[wmtsub]

Is it possible to search thru a colum, say "E", and for each matching entry cut the entire row for each entry and paste them to a new tab. So if colum "E" had ten entires with the word "Ball" all ten rows would now be moved to a new tab called "Ball", then the same for "BAT", "Glove" etc for all entries so ther would be noo more lines on the initial tab and dozens of tabs?

try this. It lets you enter the word you want to search in column E.

Sub t()
Dim txt As String, sh1 As Worksheet, sh2
txt = InputBox("Enter the key word to search for.", "KEY WORD")
Set sh1 = ActiveSheet
Set sh2 = Sheets.Add
sh2.Name = txt
    With sh1
        .UsedRange.AutoFilter 5, txt
        .UsedRange.Offset(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Copy sh2.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp)(2)
        .AutoFilterMode = False
    End With
End Sub

This will do what you want I think, creates a new tab for every word and copies across.

Just change Sheets("Data") to your sheet name

It does assume you have headings for your data and want them copied also

Sub createtabsandmove()


Dim rownum As Long
Dim rownum2 As Long
Dim mystr As String
Dim mysh As Worksheet
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim lastrow As Long
Dim counter As Long


Set mysh = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Data")
lastrow = mysh.Cells(mysh.Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row
rownum = 2
rownum2 = 2
mystr = 0
counter = 0


Do Until WorksheetFunction.CountA(mysh.Range("E2:E999999")) = 0
    Do Until rownum = lastrow + 1


    If mysh.Cells(rownum, 5).Value = "" Then
    GoTo nextrow
    End If
    
    If mysh.Cells(rownum, 5).Value <> "" And counter = 0 Then
    mystr = mysh.Cells(rownum, 5).Value
    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add(After:= _
        ThisWorkbook.Sheets(ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count))
    ws.Name = mystr
    mysh.Rows(1).Copy ws.Rows(1)
    counter = 1
    End If


    If mysh.Cells(rownum, 5).Value = mystr Then
    mysh.Rows(rownum).Copy ws.Rows(rownum2)
    mysh.Rows(rownum).ClearContents
    rownum2 = rownum2 + 1
    End If


nextrow:
    rownum = rownum + 1
    Loop


rownum2 = 2
rownum = 2
counter = 0
Loop


End Sub

mrshl9898,
Thank you for the code. It almost works perfectly!!!!! Seems I have an issue with special charectors when naming the tabs.
I will need to find some way to strip / \ etc.

Appreciate the start..thanks
