Hello Bob from Steved

Thankyou it helps

This statement - "Sheet" & Left(cell.Text, 1) - from the
code makes a new
word using the word "Sheet" plus the first letter on the
left of the text in
the cell. A new sheet is created for each unique word
created.

If the cell has the word "Waiheke" in it, the statement
above would make the
string "SheetW".

If you were to change it to this:

"Sheet" & Left(cell.Text, 2)

it would make a string using the word "Sheet" plus the
first TWO characters
on the left of the string in the cell.

If the cell has the word "Waiheke" in it, the statement
would make the
string "SheetWa".

Left(X, Y) returns Y characters from the left end of the
string X.

The "&" (ampersand) connects many words into one: "Sheet"
& "Foo" becomes
"SheetFoo",
Sheet" & "_Foo" & "_Bar" become "Sheet_Foo_Bar" , etc.

If the cities City, Roskill, Papakura, Wiri, Shore,
Orewa, Swanson, Waiheke
were in the first column of the data worksheet, the
sheets named SheetC,
SheetR, SheetP, SheetW, SheetS, SheetO would be created
and the data sorted
accordingly.

If you change Left(cell.Text, 1) to Left(cell.Text, 2),
sheets named
SheetCi, SheetRo, SheetPa, SheetWi, SheetSh, SheetOr,
SheetSw, SheetWa would
be created and the data sorted accordingly.

If you replaced "Sheet" & Left(cell.Text, 1) with
cell.Text, sheets named
City, Roskill, Papakura, Wiri, Shore, Orewa, Swanson,
Waiheke would be
created and each city would have its own sheet and only
that city's data
would appear on the sheet.

Does this help?

Hello from Steved

Below works as it should.

Our IT section made changes, hence I need to ask your
help
please. At the moment it looks in Col A and uses the
first
numeric say 1, it moves all data associated with 1 to
sheet1 which it created 2 to Sheet2 and so on.

Ok I am not a code specialist so I require your help.
Ok I will present 2 situations
1, Can the below be change to pickup the first 2 Char
ie Sh, Sw which stands for "Shore", "Swanson"

2, I have cities City, Roskill, Papakura, Wiri, Shore,
Orewa, Swanson, Waiheke. Can this be done with the below
please.

Thankyou.
