Excel VBA Autofilter range fails - excel

Question

I am trying to create multiple workbooks from one workbook. Each new workbook contains data from the main workbooks table, filtered by key. I used the code from here:
Q: How can I split data into multiple workbooks/files based on column in Excel?
but I had to do some minor adjustments, basically change starting rows / columns. Now, my code fails at the step "srg.AutoFilter sCol, Key" with the error message "AutoFilter method of Range class failed.
This is my code:
Sub ExportToWorkbooks()
Const aibPrompt As String = "Which column would you like to filter by?"
Const aibtitle As String = "Filter Column"
Const aibDefault As Long = 3
Dim dFileExtension As String: dFileExtension = ".xlsx"
Dim dFileFormat As XlFileFormat: dFileFormat = xlOpenXMLWorkbook
Dim dFolderPath As String: dFolderPath = "C:\Test\"
If Right(dFolderPath, 1) <> "\" Then dFolderPath = dFolderPath & "\"
' If Len(Dir(dFolderPath, vbDirectory)) = 0 Then Exit Sub ' folder not found
If Left(dFileExtension, 1) <> "." Then dFileExtension = "." & dFileExtension
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim sCol As Variant
sCol = 2
If Len(CStr(sCol)) = 0 Then Exit Sub ' no entry
If sCol = False Then Exit Sub ' canceled
Dim sws As Worksheet: Set sws = ActiveSheet
If sws.FilterMode Then sws.ShowAllData
Dim srg As Range: Set srg = sws.Range("A10").CurrentRegion
Dim srCount As Long: srCount = srg.Rows.Count
If srCount < 3 Then Exit Sub ' not enough rows
Dim srrg As Range: Set srrg = srg.Rows(10) ' to copy column widths
Dim scrg As Range: Set scrg = srg.Columns(sCol)
Dim scData As Variant: scData = scrg.Value
' Write the unique values from the 1st column to a dictionary.
Dim dict As Object: Set dict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
dict.CompareMode = vbTextCompare ' case insensitive
Dim Key As Variant
Dim r As Long
For r = 11 To srCount
Key = scData(r, 1)
Debug.Print Key
If Not IsError(Key) Then ' exclude error values
If Len(Key) > 0 Then ' exclude blanks
dict(Key) = Empty
End If
End If
Next r
If dict.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub ' only error values and blanks
Erase scData
Dim dwb As Workbook
Dim dws As Worksheet
Dim dfcell As Range
Dim dFilePath As String
For Each Key In dict.Keys
' Add a new (destination) workbook and reference the first cell.
Set dwb = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet) ' one worksheet
Set dws = dwb.Worksheets(1)
Set dfcell = dws.Range("A1")
' Copy/Paste
srrg.Copy
dfcell.PasteSpecial xlPasteColumnWidths
srg.AutoFilter sCol, Key
srg.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy dfcell
sws.ShowAllData
dfcell.Select
' Save/Close
dFilePath = dFolderPath & Key & dFileExtension ' build the file path
Application.DisplayAlerts = False ' overwrite without confirmation
dwb.SaveAs dFilePath, xlOpenXMLWorkbook
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
dwb.Close SaveChanges:=False
Next Key
sws.AutoFilterMode = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
MsgBox "Data exported.", vbInformation
End Sub
My table starts in cell A10.
Can anyone point me into the right direction?

It might not help you after all, but what you can do without need to figure this code out is simply delete top rows from new Workbooks, assuming the data is blank at top 9 rows because of your A10 start table.
