    Copying one sheet into another workbook (modifying existing macro)

    Hi,

    I have some code from the excellent Ron De Bruin website I need to modify. The below code filters column A, copies the filtered information and pastes it into a new workbook that is creates and saves. Rinse and repeat for each unique value in column A.

    What I also need it to do each time it is run is to copy a worksheet (worksheetNew) from the workbook where this code resides and paste it into the new workbook that this macro creates each time it is run. Im sure it's fairly simple but despite triyng to work it out myself im coming a cropper.

    Option Explicit
    
    '<<<<  Create a new workbook for every unique value  >>>>>
    
    'This example will create a new folder for you and will create
    'a new workbook with the data of every unique value in this folder.
    'The workbooks will be saved with the Unique value in the new folder.
    'It will also add a worksheet to your workbook named "RDBLogSheet" with
    'hyperlinks to the workbooks so it is easy to open the workbooks.
    'Every time you run the macro it delete this worksheet first so the information is up to date.
    
    'Note: this example use the function LastRow in the ModReset module
    Sub Copy_To_Workbooks()
    'Note: This macro use the function LastRow

        'Set filter range on ActiveSheet: A11 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("A11:D" & LastRow(Worksheets("Sheet1")))
        'No need that the sheet is active then when you run the macro when you use this.
