Looking for some help creating a macro that will sort through a list and
create a worksheet for each entry in a column. The data lists about 30-40
names mutiple times in several hundred entries. I need to create a new
worksheet titled with that persons name.

Thanks in advance! (Using Excel 2003)

Hello, this will do it if you data is in column A

Sub sheets()
Dim LRow As Long
LRow = ActiveSheet.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Range("A1:A" & LRow)
If cell.Value "" Then
Worksheets.Add().Name = cell.Value
End If
Next cell
End Sub

GTVT06 - won't that create a new worksheet for every cell in column A,
even if it a worksheet has been created for that value? He could end
up with thousands!

your right, I forgot he said he would have them listed multiple times,
I wrote that expecting there were no duplicates.

No problem, I borrowed your code to finish it, however I forgot to
delete the filter sheet.

John, if you're still looking, add this line at the end

WS2.Delete
