Hello everyone,

I’ve workbook with data (range A to M) sorted in chronological descending order, around 100k rows.
The aim is to create code that copies all rows with the same date (dates in column B) to workbook Results.xlsm, adds sheet with name equal to that date and then does the same thing with data corresponding to the previous date. For example copy of all rows with date 12/31/2020 to a new sheet, name that sheet 12.31.2020, and go next to 12/30/2020 e.t.c. I know function how to find single row with a given date, but I could not figure out how to copy multiple rows based on certain criteria to another workbook. I would be grateful for any help. Thanks in advance.

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
VBA Code:
Sub CopySameDate()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Sheet1 ' Replace this with your data sheet code name or worksheet name
    .Range("XFD1") = .Range("A1").Value
    a_su = DistinctVals(.Range("A2:A" & .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row)) ' Assumes your date value is in Column A
    For J = 1 To UBound(a_su)
        .Range("XFD2") = a_su(J, 1)
        Sheets.Add(, Sheets(Sheets.Count)).Name = Format(a_su(J, 1), "mm.dd.yy")
        .Range("A1").CurrentRegion.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CriteriaRange:=.Range("XFD1:XFD2"), _
        CopyToRange:=ActiveSheet.Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(1, .Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Columns.Count)), Unique:=False
    Next J
    .Range("XFD1:XFD2").Clear
End With
End Sub

Function DistinctVals(a, Optional col = 1)
    Dim i&, v: v = a
    With CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
        For i = 1 To UBound(v): .Item(v(i, col)) = 1: Next i
        DistinctVals = Application.Transpose(.Keys)
    End With
End Function

Hi Olukunle,
Thanks very much for your help, but your code copies only one row with given date to a new sheet, then it tries to add another sheet. The rest of the rows with given date remain uncopied. If it would be possible I would upload sample workbook but it is not possible in this forum.

Hello Dilshod,
I am clear as to what your challenge with the code might be. Because I tested it and it worked fine for me.
Hello Olukunle,

When I try to use it without modifications to the code it works perfectly smooth, so it sorts all rows by value in column A (column A contains stock symbols) and creates multiple new sheets with names equal to stock symbols. Each new sheet contains data with various dates but all related to a single stock symbol. What I needed is to sort them by date and create sheets with names equal to date, in that case each new sheet would have name equal to given date and contain data with various stock symbols but the same date. In my table dates are in column B. When I tried to modify code by replacing A by B, it adds first new sheet with name equal to date but instead copying all rows with the same date it copies a single row corresponding to that date and then tries to add another sheet with the same name and obviously gives error message. I was not be able to modify code to make it work (I'm not a programmer) and would be grateful if you would do it for me.
Thank you.

Try this
VBA Code:
Sub CopySameDate()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Sheet1 ' Replace this with your data sheet code name or worksheet name
    .Range("XFD1") = .Range("A1").Value
    a_su = DistinctVals(.Range("B2:B" & .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row)) ' This is only line I modified
    For J = 1 To UBound(a_su)
        .Range("XFD2") = a_su(J, 1)
        Sheets.Add(, Sheets(Sheets.Count)).Name = Format(a_su(J, 1), "mm.dd.yy")
        .Range("A1").CurrentRegion.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CriteriaRange:=.Range("XFD1:XFD2"), _
        CopyToRange:=ActiveSheet.Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(1, .Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Columns.Count)), Unique:=False
    Next J
    .Range("XFD1:XFD2").Clear
End With
End Sub

Function DistinctVals(a, Optional col = 1)
    Dim i&, v: v = a
    With CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
        For i = 1 To UBound(v): .Item(v(i, col)) = 1: Next i
        DistinctVals = Application.Transpose(.Keys)
    End With
End Function

    End With
End Function

This modification adds first new sheet with name equal to date but the sheet is empty contains only title bar, and then tries to add another sheet with the same name and gives error message at line:

Rich (BB code):
Sheets.Add(, Sheets(Sheets.Count)).Name = Format(a_su(J, 1), "mm.dd.yy")

Hello Dilshod,
Please use this:

VBA Code:
Sub CopySameDate()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Sheet1 ' Replace this with your data sheet code name or worksheet name
    .Range("XFD1") = .Range("B1").Value
    a_su = DistinctVals(.Range("B2:B" & .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row)) ' This is only line I modified
    For J = 1 To UBound(a_su)
        .Range("XFD2") = a_su(J, 1)
        Sheets.Add(, Sheets(Sheets.Count)).Name = Format(a_su(J, 1), "mm.dd.yy")
        .Range("A1").CurrentRegion.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CriteriaRange:=.Range("XFD1:XFD2"), _
        CopyToRange:=ActiveSheet.Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(1, .Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Columns.Count)), Unique:=False
    Next J
    .Range("XFD1:XFD2").Clear
End With
End Sub

Function DistinctVals(a, Optional col = 1)
    Dim i&, v: v = a
    With CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
        For i = 1 To UBound(v): .Item(v(i, col)) = 1: Next i
        DistinctVals = Application.Transpose(.Keys)
    End With

it adds first new sheet with name equal to date but instead copying all rows with the same date it copies a single row corresponding to that date and then tries to add another sheet with the same name and obviously gives error message at the same line

Try this again, I have modified it to work with your data. I tested it and it was fine.
VBA Code:
Sub CopySameDate()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Sheet1 ' Replace this with your data sheet code name or worksheet name
    .Range("XFD1") = .Range("B1").Value
    a_su = DistinctVals(.Range("B2:B" & .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row)) ' This is only line I modified
    For J = 1 To UBound(a_su)
        .Range("XFD2") = a_su(J, 1)
        Sheets.Add(, Sheets(Sheets.Count)).Name = Format(a_su(J, 1), "mm.dd.yy")
        .Range("A1").CurrentRegion.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CriteriaRange:=.Range("XFD1:XFD2"), _
        CopyToRange:=ActiveSheet.Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(1, .Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Columns.Count)), Unique:=False
    Next J
    .Range("XFD1:XFD2").Clear
End With
End Sub

Function DistinctVals(a, Optional col = 1)
    Dim i&, v: v = a
    With CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
        For i = 1 To UBound(v): .Item(v(i, col)) = 1: Next i
        DistinctVals = Application.Transpose(.Keys)
    End With
End Function
