Copy rows in excel to sheets if condition is .

Question

I'm trying to copy entire rows of the Sheet ‘All’ to another sheet according to the data in column D. There are multiple values in column D (Homework/Advanced/Beginner) and the sheets these rows need to be copied to have corresponding names. (Homework to Homework sheet.)

The data in Sheet ‘All’ will be added on to and the new data needs to be copied without duplicating the ones that are already there.

Answer 1

It's not a big problem. The best thing is to keep things simple and copy everything whenever "all" changes. I'd have a "Redistribute" button on the "all" sheet and have the event call scatterRows()

You don't say what your source sheet looks like so I made something up for sheet "all":

9   0.181626294 carrot  beginner    Irene
5   0.221180184 beans   advanced    Eva
8   0.221813735 turnip  advanced    Harry
10  0.314800867 lettuce homework    John
4   0.360163255 peas    homework    Doug
11  0.379956592 pepper  advanced    Karen
3   0.44415906  tomato  beginner    Charlie
6   0.647446239 corn    beginner    Frank
2   0.655706735 potato  advanced    Bob
7   0.666002258 lentils homework    George
1   0.768524361 squash  homework    Alice

The code is fairly flexible; it finds the whole source block, so it doesn't matter how many columns you have as long as column "D" holds the sheet key and the data starts in A1 (no headings). If you have headings, change all the A1 references to A2.

The other sheets ("homework" etc) must have been created. --And you need a reference set to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime.

The only "interesting" part of the code is figuring out the string for the target range (putString).

'' Copy rows from the "all" sheet to other sheets
'' keying the sheetname from column D.
'' **** Needs Tools|References|Microsoft Scripting Runtime
'' Changes:
''      [1] fixed the putString calculation.
''      [2] Added logic to clear the target sheets.

    Dim cats As Dictionary
    Set cats = New Dictionary
    cats.Add "homework", 0
    cats.Add "beginner", 0
    cats.Add "advanced", 0

    '' Clear the category sheets  *New [2]
    For Each s In cats.Keys
        Range(s & "!A1").CurrentRegion.Delete
    Next s

    '' Find the source range
    Set srcRange = [all!a1].CurrentRegion
    srcCols = srcRange.Columns.Count

    '' Move rows from source Loop
    For Each srcRow In srcRange.Rows

        '' get the category
        srcCat = srcRow.Cells(4).Value

        '' get the target sheet row and increment it
        putRow = cats(srcCat) + 1
        cats(srcCat) = putRow

        '' format the target range string     *Fixed [1]
        '' e.g. "homework!A3:E3"
        putString = srcCat & "!" & _
            [a1].Offset(putRow - 1, 0).Address & _
            ":" & [a1].Offset(putRow - 1, srcCols - 1).Address

        '' copy from sheet all to target sheet
        Range(putString).Value = srcRow.Value
    Next srcRow
