    Moving rows of data to another sheet with vba

    Hello - - I have an excel file that contains about 1000 rows of data, from column A to O. Column C contains either the letter A or the letter I, A means Active, I means Inactive.

    What I'd like to do is replace my monthly manual task of moving all the I's to sheet2. When completed, the excel file should have two sheets, all of the A's on one, and the I's in the other. The original excel file is not sorted by column C. The end result should have the same row 1, being the header row.

    Any suggested VBA code to get this started would be great! There are some additional steps, to save the file to a specific location but I think I could do that once the excel file is formatted the way I wanted it....

    Thanks again for your help....!

    Hey all - - Thanks for all your replies, I did however find a workable solution from Ron B.'s site....here it is, a bit longer then other suggestions - - I did add in the save and copy commands at the end:

    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 ws2 As Worksheet
        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))
        My_Range.Parent.Select
    
        If ActiveWorkbook.ProtectStructure = True Or _
           My_Range.Parent.ProtectContents = True Then
            MsgBox "Sorry, not working when the workbook or worksheet is protected", _
                   vbOKOnly, "Copy to new worksheet"
            Exit Sub
        End If
    
        'This example filters on the first column in the range(change the field if needed)
        'In this case the range starts in A so Field:=1 is column A, 2 = column B, ......
        FieldNum = 3 ' I changed this to 3 for column C
    
        'Turn off AutoFilter
        My_Range.Parent.AutoFilterMode = False
    
        'Change ScreenUpdating, Calculation, EnableEvents, ....

        'Add a worksheet to copy the a unique list and add the CriteriaRange
        Set ws2 = Worksheets.Add
    
        With ws2
            'first we copy the Unique data from the filter field to ws2
            My_Range.Columns(FieldNum).AdvancedFilter _
                    Action:=xlFilterCopy, _
                    CopyToRange:=.Range("A1"), Unique:=True
    
            'loop through the unique list in ws2 and filter/copy to a new sheet
            Lrow = .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
