Trying to have macro filter everything in a column and save individual workbooks per sorted item in excel vba

Question

I have a report that is sorted by column C. I need to save individual workbooks based off of each item from column C. There are headers in row 1.

Below is the code that I believe should work but isn't. I am also unsure how to site the specifc folder to save it to.

 If Target.Address = "$C$2" Then
  fname = Range("C2")
  ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fname
 End If

Answer 1

Here's a macro which will handle targeting cells in a sheet. It must be placed into this specific sheet's code. Example of fname value which is stored in C2 cell is: C:\\Users\\Taisho\\Desktop\\example.xlsx The reason why your macro was not working is probably not assigning variable type to Target .

Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim fname As String    

If Target.Address = "$C$2" Then
    fname = Range("C2").value2
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fname
End If

End Sub
