Sort, Loop, copy into new worksheet with cell value name VBA - vba

Question

I know this has been asked lot of times but I'm having a trouble with VBA, I am very new to VBA.
I'm working with a single workbook that has a working worksheet. basically I need to sort the Currency column, currently have 14 currencies, I need loop through it (since currency may add through time depending on the customer) then copy the row with the criteria paste it to another sheet with its cell value.
my code below.
Option Explicit
Sub SortCurrency()
Dim rng As Range
Dim xCell As Range
Dim I As Long
Dim J As Long
I = Worksheets("Sheet1").UsedRange.Rows.Count
J = Worksheets("Sheet2").UsedRange.Rows.Count
If J = 1 Then
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Worksheets("Sheet2").UsedRange) = 0 Then J = 0
End If
Set rng = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("AB2:AB" & I)
On Error Resume Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each xCell In rng
If CStr(xCell.Value) = "USD" Then
Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = xCell.Value
xCell.EntireRow.Copy Destination:=Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = xCell.Value.Range("A" & J + 1)
'Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
'Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = xCell.Value
Application.CutCopyMode = False
J = J + 1
End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
I basically got the codes from my research, add them up and not coming into the way I wanted. I wanted to keep the header and the values with criteria,
i,e currency column "AB" is USD as per example above, but the problem is it'll be a lot of coding because I have to go through all 14 currencies plus if there will be new currency that will be added,
also I know there is a way of not declaring multiple sheets and just having another new worksheet with the cell value name but I'm having a problem getting it done all at once. if there will be a simpler and powerful code. I am greatly thankful.

Answer 1

you may want to try this code, exploiting Autofilter() method of Range object
Option Explicit
Sub SortCurrency()
Dim currRng As Range, dataRng As Range, currCell As Range
With Worksheets("Currencies") '<--| change "Currencies" to your actual worksheet name to filter data in and paste from
Set currRng = .Range("AB1", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "AB").End(xlUp))
Set dataRng = Intersect(.UsedRange, currRng.EntireRow)
With .UsedRange
With .Resize(1, 1).Offset(, .Columns.Count)
With .Resize(currRng.Rows.Count)
.Value = currRng.Value
.RemoveDuplicates Array(1), Header:=xlYes
For Each currCell In .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
currRng.AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:=currCell.Value
If Application.WorksheetFunction.Subtotal(103, currRng) - 1 > 0 Then
dataRng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy Destination:=GetOrCreateWorksheet(currCell.Value).Range("A1")
End If
Next currCell
.ClearContents
End With
End With
End With
.AutoFilterMode = False
End With
End Sub
Function GetOrCreateWorksheet(shtName As String) As Worksheet
On Error Resume Next
Set GetOrCreateWorksheet = Worksheets(shtName)
If GetOrCreateWorksheet Is Nothing Then
Set GetOrCreateWorksheet = Worksheets.Add(After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count))
GetOrCreateWorksheet.name = shtName
End If
End Function

You're pretty close with what you've got, but there's a few things to note:
On Error Resume Next is normally a bad plan as it can hide a whole lot of sins. I use it in the code below, but only because I immediately deal with any error that might have happened.
xCell.Value.Range("A" & J + 1) makes no sense. Chop out the middle of that line to leave xCell.EntireRow.Copy Destination:=Sheets(Sheets.Count).Range("A" & J + 1)
Rather than checking if the value is a specific currency, you should be taking the value, whatever currency it is, and dealing with it appropriately.
Using J as a counter works for one currency, but when dealing with multiple, it'll be easier to just check where it should go on the fly.
All told, the below code should be close to what you're looking for.
Option Explicit
Sub SortCurrency()
Dim rng As Range
Dim xCell As Range
Dim targetSheet As Worksheet
Dim I As Long
Dim J As Long
I = Worksheets("Sheet1").UsedRange.Rows.Count
J = Worksheets("Sheet2").UsedRange.Rows.Count
If J = 1 Then
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Worksheets("Sheet2").UsedRange) = 0 Then J = 0
End If
Set rng = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("AB2:AB" & I)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each xCell In rng
Set targetSheet = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set targetSheet = Sheets(xCell.Value)
On Error GoTo 0
If targetSheet Is Nothing Then
Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Set targetSheet = Sheets(Sheets.Count)
targetSheet.Name = xCell.Value
xCell.EntireRow.Copy Destination:=targetSheet.Range("A" & J + 1)
Else
xCell.EntireRow.Copy Destination:=targetSheet.Range("A" & targetSheet.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1)
End If
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

OK, there's quite a lot going on here... I'm going to try and tackle one problem at a time.
1 - You could do with testing whether a worksheet already exists rather than creating it every time
Assuming you want to do something for each and every currency in your loop, I would suggest not using the if condition you're using at the moment, "if value = "USD"", and instead use the cell value to determine the name of the sheet, whatever the cell value is.
First of all you need a seperate function to test whether the sheet exists, like
Public Function DoesSheetExist(SheetName as String)
On Error Resume Next
Dim WkSheet as WorkSheet
'sets worksheet to be the sheet NAMED the current currency name
Set WkSheet = Sheets(SheetName)
'because of on error resume next, WkSheet will simply be "Nothing" if no such sheet exists
If WkSheet is Nothing Then
DoesSheetExist = False
Else
DoesSheetExist = True
End If
End Function
You can then call this function in your code, and only create new sheets when you need to
2 - The loop itself
So instead, I would suggest your loop probably wants to look more like this:
Dim xSheet as Worksheet 'declare this outside the loop
For Each xCell In rng
If DoesSheetExist(xCell.Value) Then
set xSheet = Sheets(xCell.Value) 'this is the code for if the sheet does exist - sets the sheet by the sheet name rather than index
Else
set xSheet = Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
xSheet.Name = xCell.Value
End if
With this setup, for every currency your loop will either set xSheet to the currency sheet that already exists, or create that sheet. This assumes that you want to do the same thing to all currencies, if not then extra conditions will need adding in
3 - the copy/paste line itself
xCell.EntireRow.Copy Destination:=Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = xCell.Value.Range("A" & J + 1)
I don't think this code says what you think it does - what this code actually says is "Copy the Entire Row to the last Sheet's name, and make it equal to the range within xCell's Value at A, (J)+1
I think what you actually wanted to say was this:
xCell.EntireRow.Copy Destination:=Sheets(Sheets.Count).Range("A" & J + 1)
However, if you're using the code I gave you above you can instead use this now:
xCell.EntireRow.Copy Destination:=xSheet.Range("A" & J + 1)
In fact, you'd be better off doing that, especially if there is a chance that the sheets already existed and were picked up by DoesSheetExist
Personally I would also rather transfer values over than use copy/paste any day, but that's just an efficiency thing, the above should function fine.
