Another Tuesday Task
ahhhhhhh, wonderful. so, the boss, who thinks i'm some
kind of Excel wizard.....HA!.....comes strolling up to my desk today and asks me how i'm coming along with "that thing he asked me about" last week. that thing he's referring to: breaking up my single worksheet into several worksheets based on what state abbreviations (FL, AK, NY, etc) exist in the original worksheet. in case you're wondering.....yes i tried to figure this out via these newsgroups last week, but with no luck. my own thick-headedness to be sure, as it is true that several suggestions were brought forward. okay here is what i'm trying to accomplish: 7 columns.......A thru G column D is the column where all of the state abbreviations are stored. most of them are FL, but there are always a certain number of them that are from across the country. i would like to take this single worksheet, and break it up into as many worksheets as there are state abbreviations found. ex.....states on worksheet might be: FL, MN, and MA well, i would want three total worksheets then......one for each state. and so on and so forth. THANK YOU VERY MUCH IF YOU CAN OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH EVEN IF YOU CAN'T ; ) |

Josh,
Saw your other thread and the suggestions made. I have another suggestion..... Why do you want to create so many unweildy sheets to view your data???? You could set up your workbook with one sheet that has all of your data (as you do now) and create a "Query" sheet where you could just pick a state and all of the data for only that state would be displayed. Would be a lot easier to navigate two sheets as opposed to 50 plus sheets.

You might want to check out a Pivot Table for this. If you put the state in a page field, the
boss can just select a different state to see whatever he's interested in.
