Hi everyone. First time posting. The problem is exactly as described. I am new to MACROS and VBA.
This is the code I am using (Thank you to the individual who posted it) Split data into multiple worksheet based on column variables - edited from online sources
on the line i = 2 to lr, it is giving me a yellow arrow. and says Overflow error

I imagine because I have 45K rows of data.

I like this MACRO because it lets you pick which column you want to split on. I have different data sets of different lengths and we need to split on different columns for each on.

I appreciate any help in advance.

VBA Code:
Sub parse_data()
Dim lr As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim vcol, i As Integer
Dim icol As Long
Dim myarr As Variant
Dim title As String
Dim titlerow As Integer

'This macro splits data into multiple worksheets based on the variables on a column found in Excel.
'An InputBox asks you which columns you'd like to filter by, and it just creates these worksheets.

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
vcol = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Which column would you like to filter by?", title:="Filter column", Default:="3", Type:=1)
Set ws = ActiveSheet
lr = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, vcol).End(xlUp).Row
title = "A1"
titlerow = ws.Range(title).Cells(1).Row
icol = ws.Columns.Count
ws.Cells(1, icol) = "Unique"
For i = 2 To lr
On Error Resume Next
If ws.Cells(i, vcol) <> "" And Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(ws.Cells(i, vcol), ws.Columns(icol), 0) = 0 Then
ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, icol).End(xlUp).Offset(1) = ws.Cells(i, vcol)
End If
Next
myarr = Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(ws.Columns(icol).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants))
ws.Columns(icol).Clear
For i = 2 To UBound(myarr)
ws.Range(title).AutoFilter field:=vcol, Criteria1:=myarr(i) & ""
If Not Evaluate("=ISREF('" & myarr(i) & "'!A1)") Then
Sheets.Add(after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = myarr(i) & ""
Else
Sheets(myarr(i) & "").Move after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)
End If
ws.Range("A" & titlerow & ":A" & lr).EntireRow.Copy Sheets(myarr(i) & "").Range("A1")
'Sheets(myarr(i) & "").Columns.AutoFit
Next
ws.AutoFilterMode = False
ws.Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Hey there.

That error is because i was declared as integer, and integers are number from –32768 to +32768, so as you have more than 32768 itens, you are receiving that message.

To fix that change the line:
Dim vcol, i As Integer
to
Dim vcol, i As Long

Long is number variable from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.

Good luck ;)

Thank you to the both of you. @gtwo your solution worked!! Life saver.

Maybe I am trying my luck, but I figure I will ask, is there any way to add to this MACRO so that on each sheet it SUBTOTALS by each change in a Column and performs the Subtotal (SUM) on a different column?

Thanks for your help :)

It is totally possible to do that, but it would help a lot if I could see how is your data, otherwise I have to imagine too much :)

ACCOUNT # DOC.TYP DOC.NBR DOC.DATE TRANS DATE ITEM # ITEM DESCRIPTION VENDOR NAME ITEM AMOUNT DEPARTMENT MID DEPT

In one of the data sets, it is set up like this. There are thousands of transactions, by ACCOUNT # (column A). The number I would like to sum is ITEM AMOUNT (column I) based on changes in the Account # (Column A)

In the other data set it is set up like this. The goal is the same, the number I would like to sum is AMOUNT (column H) based on changes in the Account Description (Column E).
Journal EntrySeriesTRX DateAccount NumberAccount Description Debit Amt Credit Amt Amount DescriptionReferenceVendor MID DEPT

You see how in the original MACRO I posted how it asks which column number you want to split the sheets into? This works well for me as it allows me to apply the MACRO to both data sets as I am splitting on the DEPT column.

It would be helpful if adding this subtotal request to the original MACRO it would ask: What column would you like to SUM? and then ask: On changes in which column number?

The data is cleaned and sorted by account number Ascending before we load it into the sheet and run the MACRO on it so it comes out of the MACRO sorted in its own sheet.

Any help is very much appreciated :) Please let me know if I can clarify any further.

Hi @dmt32, where would I add this to the code?

I my code goes in a standard module & REPLACES any existing code you may be using
I included an edit to ask which column you want to sum when the sheets data is split.

Hi @dmt32 and @gtwo
Im sorry I probably didnt make it clear in my request. We work with two seperate data sets. On one of them, I need to Sum Column 8 after each change in column 1 and the other data set: I need to sum Column 9 on each change in column 5. I was hoping for a way where it would ask me to type in which row I would like to sum. but if not that would still be very useful and I could just change the code for each one.
