I have a .csv file with a single column of data. I want to create a separate
..csv file for each cell in the column utilizing a macro since there are over
600 cells in the row. Any advice on how to create this macro to automate the
process?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry - make that 600 cells in the column.

So you want each value in it's own .csv file?

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim FileNum As Long
Dim myRng As Range
Dim myCell As Range

With Worksheets("sheet1")
Set myRng = .Range("a1", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp))
End With

FileNum = FreeFile
Close #FileNum

For Each myCell In myRng.Cells
Open "C:\temp\" & Format(myCell.Row, "0000") & ".CSV" _
For Output As FileNum
Print #FileNum, myCell.Text
Close #FileNum
Next myCell

End Sub

(Make sure that "C:\temp\" already exists (or change the code to a folder that
does exist.)

You want 600+ csv files with the data from 1 cell in each file?

Assuming you have a C:\mycsv folder

Open the *,csv file in Excel, make sure your data is in Sheet1 then run this
macro.

You can add the macro to the open workbook or to your Personal.xls

Sub Make_New_Books()
Dim rng As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range(Range("A1"), Range("A" & Rows.Count). _
End(xlUp).Address)
For Each cell In rng
cell.Copy
Workbooks.Add
With ActiveWorkbook
.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = cell.Value
.SaveAs Filename:="C:\mycsv" & "\" & cell.Value, FileFormat:=xlCSV, _
CreateBackup:=False
.Close
End With
Next cell
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
