Splitting excel sheets (Not copy paste data range) into separate workbooks with a certain name

I have a workbook with multiple sheets that have a name in column AA3 which might match in 2 or more sheets. The macro needs to search these cells and club all sheets with a similar name in AA3 and then make a new workbook out of them using the same name.

Please advise a solution.

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
Hia
Is this what your after
Code:
Sub ExportShts()

    Dim Pth As String
    Dim Arr As Variant
    Dim Sht As Worksheet
    Dim ShtDict As Object
    Dim Rng As Range
    Dim Ky As Variant

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

    Pth = ThisWorkbook.Path
    Set ShtDict = CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
    
    For Each Sht In Worksheets
        Set Rng = Sht.Range("AA3")
        With ShtDict
            If Not .Exists(Rng.Text) Then
                .Add Rng.Text, Sht.Name
            Else:
                .Item(Rng.Text) = .Item(Rng.Text) & "|" & Sht.Name
            End If
        End With
    Next Sht
    
    For Each Ky In ShtDict.Keys
        If InStr(ShtDict(Ky), "|") > 0 Then
        Arr = Split(ShtDict(Ky), "|")
        Sheets(Arr).Copy
        ActiveWorkbook.Close savechanges:=True, Filename:=Pth & "\" & Ky & ".[COLOR=#0000ff]xlsx[/COLOR]"
        End If
    Next Ky
    
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub
Change the file extension to suit

Funny enough... it worked the first time but then gave this error:

ActiveWorkbook.Close savechanges:=True, Filename:=Pth & "" & Ky & ".xlsx"

What error message did it give?
If the files already exist it should have asked if you want to replace it.

I'm sorry that was because of a tweak I did to the name. Got it back to where it was. Working flawlessly now. Thank you very much.
