Default Using a cell reference to copy rows to a new worksheet


Hi there - was a bit tongue tied with the thread title so I hope it
adequately describes my problem.

I've been tasked with redoing a revenue report at work, and in my head
I've conjured up what could potentially be a huge time saving way of
doing things in the future, although have searched help files and
looked around online and can't find the formula/macro (if it exists) to
enable me to do this.


The problem is this:

Sheet 1 of the workbook is a large input sheet. Every row contained in
that sheet will, in column A, be titled 'red', 'yellow' or 'green'.
Columns B onwards contain other data which (at the moment) is
irrelevant to the problem.

Now what I want excel to do after I've put the raw data into the input
sheet (sheet 1), is to read the text in column A for each row, then
automatically copy ALL data in that row over to the next empty row on
another worksheet.

ie Sheet 2 will have all rows that have 'Red' in column A on the input
sheet, Sheet 3 will have all those titled 'Yellow' and Sheet 4 will
have all those titled 'Red'.

Is this something that is possible?

I know I can use a filter on the input sheet to just show the data I
want, but each colour coded row will contain different data to another,
and if there is a formula/macro setup i can use to do the above, then I
can set the subsequent worksheets up to hide the superflous columns
from the input sheet.

Hope that makes sense, and hope one of you guys is able to help.

Thanks

Wayne
