Question

Prasad Raveendran · Answer

To split Excel rows into another Excel table you can use Excel functions or VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) macros depending on your specific requirements and comfort level with programming. Here are two methods you can use: Method 1: Using Excel Formulas If your splitting criteria can be determined by Excel formulas you can create a new table in the same worksheet or a different one. Identify Splitting Criteria: Determine how you want to split the rows. It could be based on a specific value in a column a condition etc. Create New Table: If you want to split the rows into a new table in the same worksheet select an empty area. If you want to split the rows into a new table in a different worksheet create a new worksheet. Use Formulas: Use formulas like IF  INDEX  MATCH  VLOOKUP  etc. to populate the new table based on the splitting criteria. Method 2: Using VBA Macro If the splitting criteria is complex or if you prefer automation you can use VBA to split rows into another Excel table. Open Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) Editor: Press Alt + F11 to open the VBA editor. Insert a Module: Right-click on any item in the Project Explorer pane then choose Insert > Module to insert a new module. Write VBA Code: Write VBA code to iterate through the rows in your Excel table apply the splitting criteria and transfer the rows to another table. Run the Macro: Close the VBA editor and then run the macro from Excel. Here's a simple example of VBA code to split rows based on a condition: Sub SplitRows() Dim sourceTable As ListObject Dim destTable As ListObject Dim sourceRow As ListRow Dim destRow As ListRow ' Change the table names as per your Excel sheet Set sourceTable = Worksheets(Sheet1).ListObjects(Table1) Set destTable = Worksheets(Sheet1).ListObjects(Table2) ' Loop through each row in the source table For Each sourceRow In sourceTable.ListRows ' Check splitting condition If sourceRow.Range(1 1).Value = Split Condition Then ' Add a new row to the destination table Set destRow = destTable.ListRows.Add ' Copy data from source row to destination row sourceRow.Range.Copy destRow.Range ' Optionally delete the original row from source table 'sourceRow.Delete End If Next sourceRow End Sub This code assumes you have two tables named Table1 and Table2 in Sheet1 and you want to split rows based on the value in the first column. Modify the code according to your actual table names worksheet and splitting criteria. Remember to save your Excel file as macro-enabled (.xlsm) if you're using VBA macros. Always make sure to backup your data before running macros especially if you're new to VBA.
