    Copy Cells to Different Sheets based on a criteria column

    Hi,

    Just recently joined as I've been struggling to find information on how I can optimise my daily workflow. I've been searching on google and other forums for a few days now and couldn't find any workable information for what I'm trying to do.

    Here goes:

    Basically, I manage Purchase Orders for different Vendors. From our SAP System, I can extract a table with the purchase and vendor data I need. I then paste into a "SAP Import" sheet in my template to begin my work.

    In the leftmost column, there is a reference number that I need to be copied and pasted to the leftmost column of different existing sheets based on the vendor number in the 5th column.

    The sheet names correspond to the Vendor Names. I also have another sheet "Vendor Master" where the vendor numbers and names are listed. The vendor sheets are named exactly as what I have in "Vendor Master".

    At present, I filter the Import sheet and copy and paste the visible cells for each vendor one at a time to the vendor sheets. I've already set up the vendor sheets with vlookups as each vendor requests varying sets of information in various formats. It's taking a huge chunk of my day and leave me little to no time left for my other tasks.

    Ideally, I'd want VBA code that I can run off of a module.

    Many thanks to anyone that can contribute!

    PS: I am just starting to read up on VBA and Macros so hopefully I'll be able to "pay it forward" in the near future!

    'SHEET1 TO MANY SHEETS
    Here's a macro for parsing rows of data from one sheet to many sheets named for the same values in a specific column.It not only can parse the rows, it can create the sheets if they are missing. There is a sample sheet there where you can test this out.

    Re: Copy Cells to Different Sheets based on a criteria column

    Hi JBeaucaire!

    Many thanks for the link. In a world where all my vendors accept the same format, I could make this work. However, they all want a specific format for the reports, that's why I only want the reference number in the left most column copied over to their respective sheets. Is there a way I can modify this to just copy that?

    Cheers!

    Yes, the section in middle of the loop is where the copying magic happens. I'm copying entire rows of data, but you could just as easily reduce that to a single cell from each row...

    I'm guessing this bit is for the copying:

    What edit should I make to make it copy just the left most cells?

    So this copies entire rows and pastes into column A of the target sheet at the next empty row. If you only wanted to copy A, B and C, you could adjust like so:

    Hi,

    I tried replacing the code with these lines you posted.

    What happens is, when I run the module, all of the values in columns A to C gets copied to all the sheets.

    EDIT: The error occured when the lookup value in the column I set for vcol is a String. If I set it to a column with numbers, it works. But then the Sheets are named as the number instead of the Vendor Names which I wanted.

    Best thing to do is to post an example file without sensitive info that reflects current situation.
    Add before and after sheet so the final result is shown.
    Avoid using Select, Selection and Activate in your code. Use With ... End With instead.
