Dejan,

I have a macro that will extract the data from the database to separate
sheets (or separate workbooks) that will allow you to bypass the clicking
and filtering. When I get into work in the morning, I will post it.

Hello Bernie,

What I am doing is getting raw data from a shipping manfiest. Then what
happens is I format the manifest in a specific order and define two
Vlookup
names. Then what happens is there are 238 accounts so hence the 238
sheets.
All 238 sheets pull their waybill's from that sheet then the Vlookup
formula
gets the rest of the information for each waybill, quantity, cost etc.. on
each of the tabs. So what I have to do each time is print off the Master
sheet which has subtotals of all the sheets and then I painstakingly CTRL
and
click through the workbook and highlight all the sheets that contain any
information. Then I copy these sheet along with the master and the
subtotal
sheet to a new file. After i go through each sheet and click through the
Auto-Filter so that It only shows the rows with values in them, i have 70
rows that have a formula in them, and so I use the Auto-Filter to get only
the non-blank rows, i do that to each sheet, then It's ready to be emailed
to
our customers. The whole process takes a long time. I know that you can
use
the Filter on the master sheet but the whole thing is that the customer is
only suppose to see what they ordered, they only get their sheet. Hope
that's clear enough, I can send a sample if you would like.

Thanks for your help again...

Dejan,

It sounds like you would be better off removing the 238 sheets and just
using the master sheet with a filter and as the data source for a pivot
table.

Describe what you are doing, and perhaps we can improve the performance
of
the whole thing.

Hello,

Problem #1: I have a giant workbook with 240 tabs. Each of the 238
sheets
contain specific information to them. This information is put in from
a
master sheet via an Array formual, when I put in a new sheet all the
other
sheets gain their infromation from the master sheet. Each of the
sheets
has
about 70 lines and based on how much activity there was on a certain
account
the lines can range from anywhere from no acctivity to all 70 lines.
So
what
I have done on the last coloumn on each sheet is put in a custom Auto
Filter,
to show me only if the cell is greater than 0. My problem comes when I
enter
a new set of data I have to go to each sheet and click on the filter
and
push
custom and ok, it takes a long time. I am sure there must be a quicker
way
to ask all sheets to recalculate the Auto Filter. Please help

Problem #2: With all of these 238 sheets the first sheet contains
subtotals
from all sheets and the second sheet conatins all the data for all the
other
238 sheets. So what I have to do is go one by one sheet and copy only
the
ones that have balance greater than 0 to a new sheet, is there any way
to
have the sheets with a blanace of greater than 0 copied automatically.

Thanks in advance, any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks.
