Filter multiple worksheets based on list

[alkaline55]

Hi everyone, I'm new to VBA and looking for some guidance. I'd like to filter Column A on three different tabs based on the first value of a list on a separate Name tab. So, find value from A2 on Name tab and filter Column A for it on the 3 tabs.

This is part of a wider macro I'm building.

The wider goal of my macro is to complete step 1 above, save down a copy of the workbook titled Name.xlsx, and loop to the next name in the list. Help with the broader goal or the first step is greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much

It's hard to tell why you are getting the errors because I cannot reproduce them using the workbook you posted. I would need to see the actual workbook.

Ok let me work on producing something that I can share...I really appreciate the help

I see part of the problem, I have 4 other sheets that have references in addition to the 3 Data tabs. These do not have filters based on Name, they are just referenced. I could move these to the end or right before the 3 Data tabs (that are at the end).

Because they weren't accounted for, they were throwing REF errors which prompted the Values Update. I think this VBA is so close...

You can put the 4 other sheets anywhere but the 3 Data sheets must be the last 3 sheets. What are the names of the other 4 sheets and do they reference sheets in the same workbook? Will their names ever change? If you can share your actual workbook, we could save a lot of time.

Unfortunately, can't share the actual workbook...I've been digging into this and may see the issue with my workbook. Will send update ASAP

Ok! So I see problem, nothing wrong with the code you provided, it was perfect! Something I hadn't considered is cross referencing among the summary tabs. So if Summary referenced a cell on Detail, I *think* depending on the ordering of the update there would be a REF error. I have all sheets now referencing Data tabs only and I no longer have a problem. It's a detailed workbook so took me a little bit to confirm.

Thank you so much for the help
