Excel VBA copy multiple lines - vba

Question

I'm trying to copy some data from one Sheet to another using a vba script, it works fine but it doesn't appear to gather all the results, the data i have is split up over multiple tables so i assume it's seeing a blank space and stepping out but i'm not sure the solution! (the results i'm after are all letters i.e A-f and are all located on column C)
code below:
Sub copytoprint()
Dim LSearchRow As Integer
Dim LCopyToRow As Integer
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error GoTo Err_Execute
LSearchRow = 2
LCopyToRow = 2
While Len(Range("C" & CStr(LSearchRow)).value) > 0
If InStr(1, Range("C" & CStr(LSearchRow)).value, "A") > 0 Then
Rows(CStr(LSearchRow) & ":" & CStr(LSearchRow)).Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("dest").Select
Rows(CStr(LCopyToRow) & ":" & CStr(LCopyToRow)).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
LCopyToRow = LCopyToRow + 1
Sheets("source").Select
End If
LSearchRow = LSearchRow + 1
Wend
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("A3").Select
MsgBox "All matching data has been copied."
Exit Sub
Err_Execute:
MsgBox "An error occurred."
End Sub
Input would just be a basic line of details i.e
ID person ref itemid itemname shape
Alphas1 bob A As01 Alphaselects1 circle
Alphas2 Stuart B As02 Alphaselects2 circle
Basically they are split up with many records I'd like it to grab all the A reference put them in one table then folow on with B C etc
Hope that makes a little sense?

Looks like you want to search from ActiveSheet using certain reference (A,B,C,,etc) and copy matching rows into unique destination sheets.
Below code will help you accomplish this, it separates the copying sub-procedure out into its own sub (called copyToSheet) and you can keep calling it from copytoprint() each time giving a reference and the destination sheet you desire.
Option Explicit
Private Sub copyToSheet(reference As String, shtSource As Worksheet, shtDest As Worksheet)
Dim x As Integer
Dim y As Integer
shtDest.Range("A2:Z" & shtDest.UsedRange.Rows.Count + 2).ClearContents
x = 2
y = 2
'loop until 20 consequtive rows have column C blank
While (Not shtSource.Range("C" & x).Value = "") _
And (Not shtSource.Range("C" & (x + 1)).Value = "") _
And (Not shtSource.Range("C" & (x + 5)).Value = "") _
And (Not shtSource.Range("C" & (x + 10)).Value = "") _
And (Not shtSource.Range("C" & (x + 20)).Value = "")
'If shtSource.Range("C" & x).Value, reference) > 0 Then
If shtSource.Range("C" & x).Value = reference Then
shtDest.Range("A" & y & ":Z" & y).Value = shtSource.Range("A" & x & ":Z" & x).Value
y = y + 1
End If
x = x + 1
Wend
End Sub
Public Sub copytoprint()
copyToSheet "A", ActiveSheet, Sheets("A")
copyToSheet "B", ActiveSheet, Sheets("B")
MsgBox "All matching data has been copied."
End Sub

So if I understood your problem correctly then you want to sort the data in sheet source first and then paste all of that data in another sheet.
If that's the case try this code.
Sub copytoprint()
Dim lastrow As Double
With Sheets("source")
lastrow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
.Range("A2:F" & lastrow).Sort key1:=Range("C3:C" & lastrow), order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
End With
Sheets("dest").Range("A2:F" & lastrow).Value = Sheets("source").Range("A2:F" & lastrow).Value
End Sub
