Is there a way to easily split these worksheets into separate workbooks instead? I have to create 213 workbooks of split data based on a column. It splits it out into sheets which is good too but I then have to manually save each one as a workbook. Just wondering if there is a work around that would speed up the process?

Hi there,
Brilliant function to split data to new worksheets.
Sometimes inconsistent naming of the sheets when selecting "Values of Column" as new worksheet name. Reverts to "Sheet 1" etc.
What is the rule that determines this?Are there any workarounds?
Many thanksNaomi

Currently, we can split based on text string in a certain column, based on specific rows in a certain column. I think it is fantastic to add the ability to split based on the time group in a certain column. For example, I have a date column, values are 01/01/2020, 01/03/2020....03/05/2025.., I want to split the whole table by year into different sheets.

I can split data, but it doesn't keep the formatting. It's almost not worth it to have it split the data without the formatting.

Is there something similar for Google Sheets?

There seems to be an issue with the Kutools "Copy Page Setup" print function when used in Office 365 as it isn't able to copy the "Fit All Columns on One Page" setting to the other worksheets. Instead it uses the "Fit Sheet on One Page". Tried finding the printer default settings for the worksheets created by Kutools, but wasn't successful - it doesn't seem to use the settings from the default template? How can this be achieved?

Has there been a resolution to this? I am unable to split data into multiple worksheets based on the content of a column.

I'm having a similar issue with this feature not working. seems to copy of of sync. believe its to do with there being only single entries for some of the data. cant work out why its not using the selected headers and replacing them with the first entry using the macro they have seems to work: http://www.extendoffice.com/documents/excel/1174-excel-split-data-into-multiple-worksheets-based-on-column.html
