Here's a quick-to-set-up pivot table (PT) approach to tinker with
(Steps as in Excel 97, my ver.)
A sample construct is available at:
http://www.savefile.com/files/5348365
Sort data into Separate Sheets_Pivot Table Approach.xls
Insert a new top row. Put in A1: Field1, copy A1 across to I1.
This quickly creates arb. col labels which is required
(The label in I1 should read as: Field9)
Select any cell within the table
Click Data Pivot Table Report
Click Next Next
In step 3 of the wizard,
Drag and drop Field9 within the PAGE area
Drag and drop Field9 within the DATA area
It'll appear as "Sum of Field9".
Double-click on it, change it to: Count, under "Summarize by" OK.
It'll now show as "Count of Field9"
Drag and drop Field1 within the ROW area
Double-click on it, check "None" under SubTotals OK
Repeat steps for Field1 for Field2, Field3, ... Field8,
placing each successive Field below the previous
Click Finish
The PT will be created in a new sheet to the left.
In the PT sheet,
Click anywhere within the PT,
then click Format Autoformat Classic 3? OK
(quickly applies a nice format to the PT)
Then just right-click on Field9 at the top left corner choose "Show Pages"
click OK in the dialog. This will quickly create & place each unique item
in Field9 (i.e. in col I) in its own separate sheet (to the left of the PT
sheet)

I have a worksheet that is a little over 50,000 lines long, it looks
something like this....
A B C D E
F G H I
2116236877 1 GLALHRGLALHRGLA YIDZL1S GB GLA 2 10.50
9149591
4400529033 1 BOMLHRMANLHRBOM VARBMI IN BOM 2 31.85 1439610
1283120077 1 ORDMANLHRMANORD HKXUSB US XIA 2 31.34 0019999
What I need to do is seperate all the data into seperate worksheets
depending on the contents of column I, for example, I need all data where
I =
9149591 on one worksheet and all data where I = 1439610 on another.
I could just cut and paste these but with the size of the worksheet its a
bit of a pain. Is there a way to get excel to do this for me?
Thanks in advance for any help.
