Jay,

The macro below will do what you want. But, you could simply apply a data filter to your database
and use the dropdown at the top of the catalog column to show only one catalog at a time - a much
better approach.

For the macro, select one cell within your database, run the macro, and when asked

What column # within database to use as key?

just answer

Sub ExportDatabaseToSeparateSheets()
'Export is based on the value in the desired column
Dim myCell As Range

myShtName = ActiveSheet.Name
KeyCol = InputBox("What column # within database to use as key?")


Set myArea = ActiveCell.CurrentRegion.Columns(KeyCol).Offset(1, 0).Cells

Set myArea = myArea.Resize(myArea.Rows.Count - 1, 1)

For Each myCell In myArea

I have 6 columns of data and I am trying to transfer them to another
sheet. I need to have them grouped by their catalog number.
For instance
A = Item Number
B = Catalog #
C = Quantity
D = Unit Price
E = Amount to credit
F = Reason Code

Each row contains one item, with one cata log and so on.
If there are 9 items with 3 different catalog numbers, I woudl like to
be able to concatenate the item #s together if the catalog numbers are
the same and move them to another sheet. So it woudl add 3 rows to
the worksheet that they are being moved to. If you can show me some
code to do the item numbers, I can work our how to do the rest.

Thank you in advance,
Jay
