To automatically update sheets based on the Account field, you can use VBA in Excel. This script will check the Account field in your main sheet and transfer rows to the corresponding sheet for each account. Here's how to set it up:
. Using VBA (Fully Automated Solution)
If you want the data to be copied automatically whenever you enter it in the main sheet, you can use a VBA script.
Steps to Implement VBA:
- Press
Alt + F11
to open the VBA editor. - Go to
Insert > Module
and paste the following code:
VBA Script for Automatic Sheet Updates
Sub UpdateAccountSheets()
Dim wsMain As Worksheet
Dim wsAccount As Worksheet
Dim lastRow As Long, i As Long
Dim accountName As String
Dim accountSheet As Worksheet
Dim accountLastRow As Long
Dim lastProcessedRow As Long
' Set the main worksheet
Set wsMain = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Main") ' Change "Main" to your main sheet name
' Get the last processed row from a hidden cell (if not set, start from row 2)
On Error Resume Next
lastProcessedRow = wsMain.Range("Z1").Value ' Store the last processed row in cell Z1
On Error GoTo 0
If lastProcessedRow = 0 Then lastProcessedRow = 1 ' Default to row 1 if not set
' Find the last row in the main table
lastRow = wsMain.Cells(wsMain.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
' Loop through each new row in the main table
For i = lastProcessedRow + 1 To lastRow
accountName = wsMain.Cells(i, 3).Value ' Column 3 contains the Account name
' Skip if account name is empty
If accountName <> "" Then
' Check if the account sheet exists
On Error Resume Next
Set accountSheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(accountName)
On Error GoTo 0
' If the sheet doesn't exist, create it
If accountSheet Is Nothing Then
Set accountSheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add(After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count))
accountSheet.Name = accountName
wsMain.Rows(1).Copy Destination:=accountSheet.Rows(1) ' Copy the headers
End If
' Find the next empty row in the account sheet
Dim nextRow As Long
nextRow = accountSheet.Cells(accountSheet.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1
' Copy the row data from the main table to the account sheet
wsMain.Rows(i).Copy Destination:=accountSheet.Rows(nextRow)
End If
' Clear the variable for the next iteration
Set accountSheet = Nothing
Next i
' Update the last processed row in cell Z1
wsMain.Range("Z1").Value = lastRow
MsgBox "Sheets updated successfully with new records only!"
End Sub
Steps to Set Up:
Open VBA Editor:
- Press
Alt + F11
in Excel.
- Press
Insert Script:
- Go to
ThisWorkbook > Worksheet
and paste the above VBA script. - Replace
"MainSheet"
with the name of your main sheet.
- Go to
Save Workbook:
- Save the workbook as a macro-enabled file (
.xlsm
).
- Save the workbook as a macro-enabled file (
Enable Macros:
- Ensure macros are enabled in your Excel settings.
Test the Script:
- Add a row in the main sheet with an account name in Column C.
- A new sheet with that account name will be created (if it doesn't already exist), and the row will be copied to it.
How It Works:
- Whenever you enter or edit a row in the main sheet, the script looks at the Account column (Column C).
- It checks if a sheet exists for the account:
- If the sheet exists, the row is added to it.
- If the sheet doesn’t exist, it creates the sheet and adds the row.
- Headers from the main sheet are copied to new account sheets for consistency.
Customizing the Script:
If your Account column is in a different position, change this line:
Replace
3
with the column number for your Account field.Adjust the range of the main sheet if needed.
