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

'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.
