Why isn't my data populated when i used VBA to create worksheets beforehand? - excel

Question

Previously, when I created the worksheets index 1,2,3 in excel,
it can be sorted into like this in index 1 2 and 3 respectively
But now if i stop creating worksheets in excel but through VBA instead, the data cant be populated and it leaves index 1,2 and 3 empty.
This is the code that I used for populating the data but with the addition of add.sheets. The add.sheets here are for creating index1,2,3 worksheets but they doesn't trigger the program to continue to populate the data even though these worksheets exists when I program them in VBA.
Sub UpdateVal()
Static count As Long
Dim iRow As Long
Dim aRow As Long
Dim a As Long
Dim b As Long
Dim selectRange As Range
Dim lastline As Integer
Dim sheetname As String
Dim indexrowcount As Integer
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Set ws = wb.Worksheets("Result")
Set site_ai = Sheets.Add(after:=Sheets(Worksheets.count))
site_ai.Name = "Index1"
Set site_bi = Sheets.Add(after:=Sheets(Worksheets.count))
site_bi.Name = "Index2"
Set site_ci = Sheets.Add(after:=Sheets(Worksheets.count))
site_ci.Name = "Index3"**
'^additional codes sheets.Add added here for creating worksheets namely index1,2,3
j = 2
iRow = 1
lastline = ws.UsedRange.Rows.count
While iRow < lastline + 1
a = iRow + 1
b = iRow + 17 ' Max Group Size with Same name in F to H column
count = 1
If ws.Cells(iRow, "F").Value = "Martin1" Then
sheetname = "Index1"
ElseIf ws.Cells(iRow, "F").Value = "John1" Then
sheetname = "Index2"
Else
sheetname = "Index3"
End If
For aRow = a To b
If ws.Cells(iRow, "F") = ws.Cells(aRow, "F") And ws.Cells(iRow, "G") = ws.Cells(aRow, "G") And ws.Cells(iRow, "H") = ws.Cells(aRow, "H") Then
count = count + 1
Else
Set selectRange = Range("A" & iRow & ":J" & aRow - 1)
selectRange.Copy
indexrowcount = Sheets(sheetname).UsedRange.Rows.count
Sheets(sheetname).Range("A" & indexrowcount).PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
iRow = iRow + count
Exit For
End If
Next aRow
Wend
End Sub
what am I missing here and how should i solve it?

Your code is too confusing. If your example data is accurate, I don't understand why you need to check all three columns. You can accomplish what you are trying to do, by just using column F. If your data is already sorted as shown, then I would loop through column F testing for duplicates until no match. I would then add a worksheet and name it using the start cells' value. Then copy the rows from the start cell to the current rwNbr - 1 and paste to the new worksheet. Reset the start cell for the next group and loop.
Sub SaveRangewithConsecutiveDuplicateValuestoNewSheet()
'Define all variables
Dim wb As Workbook, ws As Worksheet, sCel As Range, rwNbr As Long
Set wb = ThisWorkbook 'Set workbook variable
Set ws = wb.Worksheets("Sheet1") 'set worksheet variable using workbook variable
Set sCel = ws.Cells(1, 6) 'Set the first start cell variable to test for duplicate values
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For rwNbr = 2 To ws.Cells(ws.Rows.count, 6).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Row Step 1 'Loop
If ws.Cells(rwNbr, 6).Value <> sCel.Value Then 'loop until the value changes
wb.Sheets.Add(After:=wb.Sheets(wb.Sheets.count)).Name = sCel.Value 'Add sheet and name based on the first cell of group
ws.Range(sCel, ws.Cells(rwNbr - 1, 6)).EntireRow.Copy Destination:=ActiveSheet.Range("A1") 'select group of consecutive duplicates
Set sCel = ws.Cells(rwNbr, 6) 'reset start cell to test for the next group of consecutive duplicates
End If
Next rwNbr
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
