I have data in columns in one worksheet

each set has two columns separated by a blank column

I wish to copy both columns of each set onto a new worksheet (renamed
with Row 1 name)


A B C D E F G H more data
accross
1 XX YY ZZ
2 Y 91 A 5 D 55
3 Z 92 B 6 E 66

columns C, F, I etc are blank - separating the data

i.e.
create new worksheet labelled "XX" with columns A and B pasted in A
and B
and new worksheet "YY" with columns D and E pasted in A and B
and new worksheet "ZZ" with columns G and H pasted in A and B

looping through all the data in the sheet (over 600 sets)


any help appreciated

thanks
