Hello- I have a spreadsheet that I found somewhere that I need modified.

Currently there is a filter that will put data from a main sheet into a sheet based on certin criteria. The only problem is that its replacing The top few rows which I need to remain the same and not be copied over because I have formulas in the top headers.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Here is the code-

Code:
Option Explicit

Sub FilterCities()

            TempWks.Delete
        Application.DisplayAlerts = True
        
        MsgBox "Data has been sent"

End Sub

Function WksExists(wksName As String) As Boolean
    On Error Resume Next
    WksExists = CBool(Len(Worksheets(wksName).Name) > 0)
End Function

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
Hi, Thanks for your help. That worked perfect.
Now I didnt think this was going to happen, but when ever i type information above where the new data was pasted. Lets say its now being pasted in A10. I enter information is A6-8 AND D6-8.
When I enter new information in the main sheet and hit send data, The information i typed in A6-6AND D6-8 is earased. Any ideas?
Thanks

This is the code that is doing the erase:

For Each myCell In ListRange.Cells
If WksExists(myCell.Value) = False Then
Set wks = Sheets.Add
On Error Resume Next
wks.Name = myCell.Value
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Please rename: " & wks.Name
Err.Clear
End If
On Error GoTo 0
wks.Move After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Else
Set wks = Worksheets(myCell.Value)
wks.Cells.Clear
End If


You need to add a test in this code to exclude the erase under some condition, what that is I do not know. It could be as simple as:

If ISNUMBER(myCell.Value) = True

Or something.

Hi- I tried playing around with this and All i got was error messages...

Pretty much the only thing that I really need is a space where i can add additional text without it being erased when i refresh the information.
Even if i can modify the main sheet that will be fine too. That was it would post along with the other information. I just have no idea how to do this.
If it would help I could post a link where the spreadsheet could be downloaded...

Thanks
