I have a file with about 2500 rows. The top row is a header. Column A shows clients. One client can have anywhere from 1 row to 50+ rows.
I need a macro that'll split the large file up so each client has a single file (or tab in this worksheet - either would work) with just their info. EX: John Smith is the name that appears in 33 rows so a new file (or tab) is created that has the header row and the 33 rows of data where John Smith is in column A.
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
What version of Excel are you using?

I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

How about
VBA Code:
Sub SandsB()
   Dim Ary As Variant
   Dim i As Long
   
   With Sheets("Sheet1")
      Ary = Application.Unique(.Range("A2", .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)))
      For i = 1 To UBound(Ary)
         .Range("A1").AutoFilter 1, Ary(i, 1)
         Sheets.Add(, Sheets(Sheets.Count)).Name = Ary(i, 1)
         .AutoFilter.Range.Copy Range("A1")
      Next i
      .AutoFilterMode = False
   End With
End Sub
