Using VBA to split data into separate sheets while only updating a certain amount of cells on new sheet.

I'm attaching a link to dummy sheet with data. The first worksheet is titled teacher data, that's my main reference sheet. The second worksheet titled A is what the current code that I'm using does. It sorts the sheet into new individual sheets (students) and then copies all of the data for that student (column B) over to the new sheet.



The third worksheet, title B, is what I need it to do. I need it to copy all of the student info over and update the info on those sheets each time I run the macro. However, I want to include the yellow highlighted section on each created sheet, but I don't want that section to update each time. Essentially, I want it to create the individual sheets and update the only the first 12 rows of each sheet (because the data won't ever be more rows that that.) Is it possible to add to this formula to accomplish this or to use a completely different formula?



Thank you for any help with this. I'm still new to excel and try to figure everything out on my own, but this is a little too complex for me. Please let me know if you need more information (if I need to clarify) or anything else. Thanks!

This is the current code that I'm using (and it works perfectly to sort and split the data into newly created sheets, but I need to only update certain cells because I need to write data on sheet B in the highlighted area that doesn't get deleted each time the top portion of data (12 rows) updates.

Hi kmil, welcome to the board.

Please next time you post any vba code, put it between code brackets: click the little VBA icon at the top of the post window and paste your code.

I have gone through your code to get rid of some inefficiencies. See the double commented out pieces.

Then I have modified the code to do what you want to achieve. I have even added in some code to make sure the fixed block does not get overwritten in the odd case that the filter does return more than eleven lines for the student.

What you need to do is from your current sheet B create a template by making sure the first 11 lines have the correct formatting & conditional formatting. Then save the sheet with the name Template
Then test the code below on the workbook. It will hide the sheet Template once finished.

I'm pretty sure I'm in well over my head and will have to figure out a different method/program to use for what I'm trying to accomplish. I created the template sheet within the workbook, but when I ran the code, I got a "run-time 1004. Method 'range' of object '_worksheet' failed. Thank you for trying to help though. I was really hoping that this would solve my problem.

It should work. I'll get back with some more elaborated instructions

When you run the code, and it stops with the error. Press on the 'Debug' button. It will open the VBA editor and show a line in yellow. Which line is it that is yellow?

What you should have at the start is:
  • the master data sheet
  • a template sheet with 11 empty lines (with conditional formatting) On row 12 the information block starts. Also in row 12 there is a cell with the word "Dyslexia".
  • Possibly some filled out student sheets, also containing the info block.

For some reason, I'm just now seeing this and didn't receive a notification. Sorry.

I have the master date sheet labeled "Teacher Data". I have a template sheet with conditional formatting and the information block that starts on row 12 (including the word dyslexia.)

I added the student sheets containing the info block.

This is the line that's yellow in the code: lRStN = wsTData.Cells(RowsTData.Count, lC).End(xlUp).Row

Ah, something messed up in that line. Don't know how that happened.
Code: 
lRStN = wsTData.Cells(wsTData.Rows.Count, lC).End(xlUp).Row[\code]

Got it. But now it's saying that this row is wrong.

wsTData.Range(wsTData.Cells(1, sCol), wsTData.Cells(lLastR, sCol)).AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=wsTData.Cells(lX, c)

🤷‍♀️

Ah, I see what went wrong here. At the last minute before posting I had renamed your various variables to give them more meaningful names. But I apparently forgot to replace a couple.

Sorry about that. I have also added the line 'Option Explicit' at the very top of the code. That forces declaration of any variables. So unknown / misspelt variable names will be highlighted before the code can run.

Here is the now corrected code. Replace everything with this.

Ah, I see what went wrong here. At the last minute before posting I had renamed your various variables to give them more meaningful names. But I apparently forgot to replace a couple.

Sorry about that. I have also added the line 'Option Explicit' at the very top of the code. That forces declaration of any variables. So unknown / misspelt variable names will be highlighted before the code can run.

Here is the now corrected code. Replace everything with this.

VBA Code:
