    SPLIT .xls IN MULTIPLE FILES BY ROWS AND NAME PER VALUE IN RESPECTIVE CELL

    Hi,
    I have a master file with multiple rows.
    I'm using VBA to split the master file into individual files each holding data from a single row (iRow).
    When there are no more values in column A (NB: this does not mean that cells are blank as they contain formulas which do not return a TRUE value) the code should exit.
    The individuals files are named after their respective cell (row = iRow, column = A)
    I'm using the macro below however: it creates all individual files (i.e from irow to lastrow) but instead of stopping when it reaches lastrow it gives me an error message saying SaveAs method of Workbook class failed - so in essence it tries to create another file even though it has reached the end of data in that column.

    What am i doing wrong? (I'm not very experienced in VBA so apologies if my mistake is blatantly obvious!)

    Many Thanks
    Roi

    Sub splitfile()

    Dim curWks As Worksheet
    Dim newWks As Worksheet

    Dim iRow As Long
    Dim FirstRow As Long
    Dim LastRow As Long

    Set curWks = Worksheets("Return Format")
    Set newWks = Workbooks.Add(1).Worksheets(1)

    With curWks
    FirstRow = 2 'headers in row 1
    LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row

    .Rows(1).Copy
    With newWks.Range("A1")
    .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
    .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
    End With

    For iRow = FirstRow To LastRow
    .Rows(iRow).Copy

    With newWks.Range("A2")
    .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
    .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
    End With

    newWks.Parent.SaveAs _
    Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & .Cells(iRow, "A").Value & ".xlsm", _
    FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
    Next iRow

    End With

    newWks.Parent.Close savechanges:=False

    End Sub

    Hi Roi,

    The index always increments - so it will be 1 more than you want it to be after the loop:
