Hello Fellow Mr. Excel Users,

Thank you in advance for any assistance or guidance you can offer. I am using Excel 2019 on the Office 365 platform. I have a master excel file that I would like broken out to separate workbooks, each containing specific worksheets, based on the data contained in the master excel file.

Master sheet: Columns A – L
Column A: Flower Type
Column B: Bouquet Size 1
Column C: Bouquet Size 2
Column D: Bouquet Size 3
Column E: Notes
Column F: Florist
Column G: City
Column H: State
Column I: Owner
Column J: Created date/time
Column K: Sales Associate
Column L: Sales Manager

I located the following code on the internet that will break out the master sheet into separate workbooks based on the value specified (I’ve updated it to be based on Column L). I don’t know how to expand on that code to further break out the workbook into separate worksheets.

Code:
Sub Copy_To_Workbooks()'Note: This macro use the function LastRow
    Dim My_Range As Range
    Dim FieldNum As Long
    Dim FileExtStr As String
    Dim FileFormatNum As Long
    Dim CalcMode As Long
    Dim ViewMode As Long
    Dim ws2 As Worksheet
    Dim MyPath As String
    Dim foldername As String
    Dim Lrow As Long
    Dim cell As Range
    Dim CCount As Long
    Dim WSNew As Worksheet
    Dim ErrNum As Long


    'Set filter range on ActiveSheet: A1 is the top left cell of your filter range
    'and the header of the first column, D is the last column in the filter range.
    'You can also add the sheet name to the code like this :
    'Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:D" & LastRow(Worksheets("Sheet1")))
    'No need that the sheet is active then when you run the macro when you use this.
    Set My_Range = Range("A1:L" & LastRow(ActiveSheet))
    My_Range.Parent.Select


    If ActiveWorkbook.ProtectStructure = True Or _
       My_Range.Parent.ProtectContents = True Then
        MsgBox "Sorry, not working when the workbook or worksheet is protected", _
               vbOKOnly, "Copy to new workbook"
        Exit Sub
    End If


    'This example filters on the first column in the range(change the field if needed)
    'In this case the range starts in A so Field:=1 is column A, 2 = column B, ......
    FieldNum = 12


    'Turn off AutoFilter
    My_Range.Parent.AutoFilterMode = False


    'Set the file extension/format
    If Val(Application.Version) < 12 Then
        'You use Excel 97-2003
        FileExtStr = ".xls": FileFormatNum = -4143
    Else
        'You use Excel 2007-2013
        If ActiveWorkbook.FileFormat = 56 Then
            FileExtStr = ".xls": FileFormatNum = 56
        Else
            FileExtStr = ".xlsx": FileFormatNum = 51
        End If
    End If


    'Change ScreenUpdating, Calculation, EnableEvents, ....
    With Application
        CalcMode = .Calculation
        .Calculation = xlCalculationManual
        .ScreenUpdating = False
        .EnableEvents = False
    End With
    ViewMode = ActiveWindow.View
    ActiveWindow.View = xlNormalView
    ActiveSheet.DisplayPageBreaks = False


    'Delete the sheet RDBLogSheet if it exists
    On Error Resume Next
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    Sheets("RDBLogSheet").Delete
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    On Error GoTo 0


    ' Add worksheet to copy/Paste the unique list
    Set ws2 = Worksheets.Add(After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count))
    ws2.Name = "RDBLogSheet"


    'Fill in the path\folder where you want the new folder with the files
    'you can use also this "C:\Users\Ron\test"
    MyPath = Application.DefaultFilePath


    'Add a slash at the end if the user forget it
    If Right(MyPath, 1) <> "\" Then
        MyPath = MyPath & "\"
    End If


    'Create folder for the new files
    foldername = MyPath & Format(Now, "yyyy-mm-dd DAR Report") & "\"
    MkDir foldername


    With ws2
        'first we copy the Unique data from the filter field to ws2
        My_Range.Columns(FieldNum).AdvancedFilter _
                Action:=xlFilterCopy, _

        For Each cell In .Range("A4:A" & Lrow)


            'Filter the range
            My_Range.AutoFilter Field:=FieldNum, Criteria1:="=" & _
             Replace(Replace(Replace(cell.Value, "~", "~~"), "*", "~*"), "?", "~?")


            'Check if there are no more then 8192 areas(limit of areas)
            CCount = 0
            On Error Resume Next

                    ' Paste:=8 will copy the columnwidth in Excel 2000 and higher

End Sub




Function LastRow(sh As Worksheet)
    On Error Resume Next
    LastRow = sh.Cells.Find(What:="*", _
                            After:=sh.Range("A1"), _
                            Lookat:=xlPart, _
                            LookIn:=xlValues, _
                            SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
                            SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
                            MatchCase:=False).Row
    On Error GoTo 0
End Function

Ideal Outcome: Master file creates a new workbook for each of the Sales Managers listed in Column L and each workbook contains a worksheet for each of the Sales Associates listed in Column K that report to the Sales Manager in Column L. Each of the Sales Associates worksheets should contain all of the Master Sheet data pertaining just to them.
