Excel macro to split data into separate files

How can I set up a macro that would split my Excel data into separate files based on information within the file (for example a list of agencies) and save the files separately naming them appropriately for each agency?

RE: Excel macro to split data into separate files

Hi Marta, thanks for your query. You'll need to amend the following for your purposes but this is the code to dump out the activesheet as a standalone file. You'll need to loop through your agency names and problem select particular ranges and/or copy them onto fresh sheets, but the whole thing can be done invisibly. Here's the basic code:

-------

Dim mynewfilename As String
Dim myagencyname as string

myagencyname = [Your code here]

mynewfilename = "C:\" & myagencyname & ".xls"

Activesheet.Select
Activesheet.Copy

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=mynewfilename

ActiveWorkbook.Close

-------

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Access tip:

Create An Inaccessible Field On A Form

There is sometimes a need to make a field in a form look like a normal field but be completely inaccessible to the user. To do this:

In the Field's Properties
Set the ENABLED property to No
Set the LOCKED property to Yes

The field will not grey out, but the user will not be able to do anything with it.
