I want to separate multiple column from one excel sheet to different tabs in the same file

I want to separate multiple column from one excel sheet to different tabs in the same output.

 

I want to filter out the unique values and then separate them from main sheet to different tabs of the same output file that needs to be generated.

 

Please advise

Hi,

 

If the issue is not having a possibility to save the data in the separate sheets you can use block until done.

If that is not the case please share a data sample and someone will help you with your problem.

So I have this below sample excel sheet. I want to separate these column B and C columns with some basic filters and separate them in to 2 different tabs.

Hi,

 

Try using block until to save the prepared tables in the separate sheets. 

 

You just need to create two separate views and use the block until done tool to save them. I saw there is a very interesting article in the internet about this tool. I am sure you will nail it after some reading:

Thanks..

 

But the problem still persists as it is not keeping the main sheet and i am not getting option to update the tab names.

The main sheet will be simple but what do you have on mind saying update the sheet name. 
you want to have it dynamic with information what is in the filter?

Yes , i want to name them with the column header and not the filtered option.

Hi,

 

I think I have created a solution that does what you need. 

Actually I didn't even know that there is functionality like this 🙂
