Question

Move data from Master sheet to various sheets based on criteria

I have a master sheet that I would like to have auto fill a row of data into other worksheet based on criteria found in a column.

Example of Master....

So basically I want to say if the "Code" = 0901 put all data for that row (92128756, 0901, 003, X*, 692554) into one worksheet named 0901 and if Code = 5501 put all that data into another worksheet named 5501.

Thanks in advance!!!

Explanation / Answer

Revised code - copy and replace your existing code with this. Shouldn't even need changes to the Const values (but double-check me).

Explanation: Looks at code - tries what once worked and now fails, scratches head. Starts to try to develop work-around, suddenly SMACKS FOREHEAD! and mumbles to self "you idiot".

The problem is we are trying to copy an entire row which would go from column A out to the last possible column -- but I was trying to paste it into the destination sheet beginning at column B, not A! That generates the error because Excel realizes I'm an idiot but is too polite to just come out with it as "Error 1004: Programmer is Idiot".

Here's the revised code, let me know if it works better now. Once again, I've tested it here and it does for me. And I even threw in one group of merged cells just to be on the safe side. I added a little code and changed our problem line a little, and I've made those bold also just to point them out.

   'How to put this code into your workbook:

   'change these Const values to match your main data sheet setup

   Set srcWS = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(dataWSName)
   lastRow = srcWS.Range(dataCodeCol & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
   If lastRow < dataFirstRow Then
     lastRow = dataFirstRow
   End If
   Set codesListRange = srcWS.Range(dataCodeCol & dataFirstRow & _
    ":" & dataCodeCol & lastRow)
   Application.ScreenUpdating = False

     newWSName = Trim(anyCode.Text)
