My friend and I currently have a main spreadsheet, which I have to split into smaller spreadsheets. It used to be a manual process, but I would like to automate it. I created a three-step solution in VBA that would help me do the following:
- Apply appropriate filters to the spreadsheet
- Export data currently visible after filtering to a new table.
- Save the table and return to 1 (different criteria)
Unfortunately, it is difficult for me to carry it out. Whenever I try to create a spreadsheet, my document freezes, it starts performing several calculations, and then gives me the following error message:

After debugging the code, I get an error message in this line:
