create a new worksheet for each column header

Time:12-30

For each column header, grab the data in each column and create a new worksheet with the data in a single row

To clarify and provide more context, I currently have a table in the format below:

Header A | Header B | ...
--------------------------
Data A1  | Data B1  | ...
Data A2  | Data B2  | ...
...

What I want to achieve is the following:

For each column header
  Create a new worksheet with the header name
  Fill the worksheet with the following table:
    Data A1 | Data A2 | Data A3 | ... (tldr, for each header, get data and create a table where 
    the headers of the new table are the data relevant to the specific header)

Hopefully, this provides enough context to address the problem.

Create Header Worksheets

  • This is just a basic example. The table (one row of headers) has to be contiguous (no empty rows or columns) and it has to start in cell A1.
  • Adjust the values in the constants section.

    Dim srg As Range: Set srg = sws.Range("A1").CurrentRegion
    Dim rCount As Long: rCount = srg.Rows.Count - 1 ' minus headers
    
    Dim dws As Worksheet
    Dim scrg As Range
    Dim dName As String
    
    For Each scrg In srg.Columns
        dName = CStr(scrg.Cells(1).Value) ' header
