Excel – Macro problems excel 2010

microsoft excelmicrosoft-excel-2010vba

Well i feel like pulling my hair out!

i have a macro set up which splits my spread sheet into worksheets dependent on the data in column 6. I then have another macro which saves each of these as a seperate workbook and then made another which rund the 2 together.

I have been through my spreadsheet and ensured that all the possible entries into column 6 match (no spelling mistakes etc)

now for some reason when i run the macro's it is outputting all the workbooks i need but also doing a second copy and naming them Error-1, Error-2 etc.

i dont understand why any ideas?

Also my sprreadsheet runs from column a through to column AV but when i run macros they workbooks it is outputting only go to column O

Any help is much appreciated.

ahh here is the macro i am using btw-

Sub Copy_To_Worksheets() 'Note: This macro use the function LastRow
    Dim My_Range As Range
    Dim FieldNum As Long
    Dim CalcMode As Long
    Dim ViewMode As Long

    Dim Lrow As Long
    Dim cell As Range
    Dim CCount As Long
    Dim WSNew As Worksheet
    Dim ErrNum As Long

    'Set filter range on ActiveSheet: A1 is the top left cell of your filter range
    'and the header of the first column, D is the last column in the filter range.
    'You can also add the sheet name to the code like this :
    'Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:D" & LastRow(Worksheets("Sheet1")))
    'No need that the sheet is active then when you run the macro when you use this.
    Set My_Range = Range("A1:O2000") '  & LastRow(ActiveSheet))

Best Answer

To answer the question about it running to column 0, I suspect the culprit will be the following line:

Set My_Range = Range("A1:O2000")

This will be restricting what you're running over.
