    Create New WorkBooks based on conditions from main workbook

    Hello everybody

    I have main workbook named "Mainwb" in the first sheet named "Main" I have range("A2:A6") which has values like that (Example 1, Example 2 and so on ) as a sample ...

    I want the following : to export range("A2:A6") values to new workbooks with the same name (Example 1 , Example 2 and so on) and the new WBs to be in folder created if not found with a name (Results).

    Secondly : The new WBs should contain sheets based on the values mentioned .. Say we export (Example 1) as new WB .. the code should search in Mainwb in all sheets --except sheet("Main") -- search for the rows containing that value and copy these rows to the new WB.. with the headers !!

    Another point the sheets in the new WB holds the same name which the results copied from .. If the value Example 1 found in sheet ("A") then the new WB should contain a sheet with the same name ("A")
    I feel it is difficult but I hope to be solved

    Re: Create New WorkBooks based on conditions from main workbook

    Hi, YasserKhalil,

    you would need to copy and paste/pastespecial when a new workbook is added. Code for the range being located on Sheets MySampleSheet may look like this, no errorhandling is included:

    Re: Create New WorkBooks based on conditions from main workbook

    Thanks a lot Mr. HaHoBe to be the first who reply my thread
    It seems that I can not clarify my request well

    I want to create new WBs depending on the range A2:A6 to a folder named (Results)
    The (Results) folder should have five Wbs with the following names Example 1 , Eample 2 , Example 3 and so on

    Re: Create New WorkBooks based on conditions from main workbook

    Mr. HaHoBe
    Great solution. Your code is a very big step and a very good result ..
    Thank you very much for this wonderful solution..

    Another point : I want to deal with the new WBs by deleting the sheet if Column J does not have (WorkBook Name)
    say In Example 1 workbook which was created .. to search in sheets for the string (Example 1) if the sheet does not contain that string in column J .. then the sheet to be deleted .. If the whole workbook doesnot contain that string the WB to be deleted

    I know it is difficult request but I'm sure you will be able to deal with that big problem

    Re: Create New WorkBooks based on conditions from main workbook

    Hi, YasserKhalil,

    I would recommend to check the worksheets prior to creating workbooks like I did. But Iīm going to stick with that approach for now.

    Re: Create New WorkBooks based on conditions from main workbook

    Mr. Holger I appreciate your great effort and great help
    You are fantastic , wonderful amazing ...
    Now the file is about to be perfect

    The last point : I promise you to be the last

    I want the new WBs that were created to find the string in each sheet and delete others
    Say in Workbook that was created (Example 1) .. I want to delete the rows that does not contain the string (Example 1) except for titles to remain as it is
    In other words to remain the data related to Example 1 only in each sheet!

    Thanks advanced for the great help you offered me Mr Holger

    Re: Create New WorkBooks based on conditions from main workbook

    Hi, YasserKhalil,

    The last point : I promise you to be the last
    Might be, what I definitely can say: itīs one point too much for me in this thread. Use the loop through the sheets and the condition that sheet will not be deleted, add an Autofilter to that sheet, criteria would be in Column 10 as "<>*Example 1*", get the last visible row, use all visible cells in Column J in the range from Row 2 to the last visible row to delete the entire rows, disable Autofilter. Itīs as easy as this description.

    Holger

    Re: Create New WorkBooks based on conditions from main workbook

    Hi, YasserKhalil,

    you could at least open one of the newly created workbooks, turn on the macro recorder and do the steps as they are listed (for Example 1). The very wrong attitude is to state
    The problem is that I'm just a beginner and I can not do it by myself.
    The process of using an AutFilter with a fixed name could have brought in by you. I must admit that the macro recorder will not help on loops or with ranges or criterias but that would have been an easy one if the code had been provided.

    Hi, YasserKhalil,

    good effort but you must remember to fully qualify the ranes you work on.

    will always refer to the ActiveSheet, you would need to alter this code line to

    to refer to each of the worksheets independently.

    If iI use the prefix i to any variable that would be of Type Integer, I would expect a small L for Long there. But thatīs minor as you correctly declared the Variable (in case you have more data than 32.767).

    My version of the code:

    As you may see the code is basicly identical to the one you posted.

    Re: Create New WorkBooks based on conditions from main workbook

    Hi, YasserKhalil,

    one way to get past only working on ActiveSheet. But any Selection or Activating will take time, the more you do so the longer the running time of any macro will be (plus itīs unnecessary in about 99% of all cases where itīs used).
