    Macro-need help sorting data to other worksheets/update as new data is entered.

    I need help to figure out what I am missing in my macro. I am trying to create a "Master Sheet" where I enter in the column data and after I have entered my data for each row, I can select the button which toggles the macro to run. I have it built to build new sheets as new clients are obtained. My problem is after I have a sheet that has client's data I cannot get new data to add itself below the data that is already there. I want each client's sheet to keep adding rows as more data comes in. My current macro is :

    Possibly a stupid question, but why do you want/need to move the data to separate sheets for each client?

    If you just have one sheet with all the "raw" data, you can sort it, filter it, chart it, pivot it, group it ... and all the other good things Excel can do ... and all built in.

    Having split it up, you WILL come to a point where you want to analyse and compare the totality of your data and will be looking for ways to create summary sheets that cater for a growing number of clients, providers and whatever.

    If you do go down the track of creating separate sheets for each client, when you add a sheet for a new client, you should add an entry to a "client table" on a separate sheet. This would a) give you a quick way of checking if a client has been set up already and b) give you the basis for the summary sheet that you WILL need one day.

    Seems like a good example of why you might want to not split your data ...

    So, yes I know how to do the pivot tables and everything, but the counselors who will use these spreadsheets do not. I am trying to build this so they have a way of tracking the dollar amount of each client because we have a cap amount before we have to reauthorize their services. If a counselor goes over that cap without getting a reauth, then we do not get paid for those sessions. No money=no work I was hoping to dummy proof it a bit for them so all they have to do is enter in the master sheet their data as they see clients and then they can click on the corresponding sheets to see how much the running total is for each client. Hopefully this helps!
