VBA - Cut & Paste Rather than Copy & Paste

Hi All,

I have been amending some code which filters data from various tabs of a master spreadsheet, and copies and pastes these tabs into a new spreadsheet per department.

The code I have (admittedly it was existing code which I have been able to manipulate to suit my needs) currently copies and pastes this data with the department filter applied, however, I want to cut this data instead for 2 reasons:

1) Data Protection - It is important that the individual spreadsheets per department does not contain the data about the other departments (which it does currently when the filter is removed)
2) File Size - it will dramatically reduce the file size of each individual departments spreadsheet.

The code I have is as follows, but I'm struggling to understand where I can change it so that it will cut and paste, rather than copy.

Each individual tab that is copied over has its own section below, where you can see the filter applying. I have then highlighted in red where the the code appears to create the new workbook. I had hoped I could just change 'copy' to 'cut' but alas, not as straight forwards :)

Code:
Sub SplitData()
    Dim I As Integer
    Dim iCount As Integer
    Dim LaCell As String
    Dim myDynArray As Integer
    Dim Hosp() As Integer ' declares a static array variable
    Dim ACells() As String, Acells2() As String
    Dim iLastrow As Integer
    Dim eValue As String
    Dim dtimeStamp As String
    Dim xpathname As String
    Dim strtext As String
    Dim C As String
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim fso
    
    'Create the Folder to hold the Data
    dtimeStamp = Format(Now, "yyyymmdd")
    xpathname = "C:\Users\simon\Desktop\Data\" & dtimeStamp & "\"
    
 Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Check if Directory Exists if it dosn`t create it
    If Not fso.FolderExists(xpathname) Then
         fso.CreateFolder (xpathname) 'Created files are saved here
        Else
         'MsgBox strDocPath & " already exists!", vbExclamation, "Folder Exists"
    End If
    Set fso = Nothing
   
'    iLastrow = Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
                   SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row

    ' This creates the unique list
   ' Sheets("Appointments").Range("B12:B5000").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=Range( _
    '    "AV1"), Unique:=True
    
    'GetSitesFromSQL ' Gets unique sites from SQL Server
    
    I = 1
    Sheets("Main Page").Select
    Range("AV1").Select
    Selection.End(xlDown).Select
    LaCell = Replace(ActiveCell.Address, "$", "")
    LaCell = Replace(LaCell, "AV", "")
    myDynArray = CInt(LaCell)
    ReDim Hosp(1 To myDynArray)
    ReDim ACells(1 To myDynArray)
    ReDim Acells2(1 To myDynArray)
   'Load data into Array at runtime
    For iCount = LBound(Hosp) To UBound(Hosp)
        ACells(iCount) = Cells(I, 48).Value 'Name Code
        Acells2(iCount) = Cells(I, 49).Value 'Name
        I = I + 1
    Next

Select a range of cells. The total appears in bottom right of Excel screen. Right-click total to add Max, Min, Count, Average.
You cannot use 'Cut' for the Sheet.Copy action which created a new workbook for each sheet. To use the cut method, you would have to address each sheet individually in a loop, add a new workbook, then cut and paste the data for each sheet. Completely different method.
