Excel 2013 Overflow due to lack of VBA optimization - excel

Question

I would like to export data from a consolidated sheet (DATA) to multiple sheets regarding criteria.
I have a total of 13 criteria, each criteria has to be exported in its dedicated sheet.
I'm trying to optimize this macro (only 2 criteria here) because it lag out
Sub copy()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim feuillePrincipale As Worksheet
Dim S01Sheet As Worksheet
Dim S02Sheet As Worksheet
Set feuillePrincipale = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("DATA")
Set S01Sheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("S01")
Set S02Sheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("S02")
For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If sh.Name = "S01" Then
i = 2
j = 2
While Not IsEmpty(feuillePrincipale.Cells(i, 1))
If feuillePrincipale.Cells(i, 11).Value Like "S01*" Then
feuillePrincipale.Cells.Rows(i).EntireRow.copy S01Sheet.Rows(j)
j = j + 1
End If
i = i + 1
Wend
End If
If sh.Name = "S02" Then
i = 2
j = 2
While Not IsEmpty(feuillePrincipale.Cells(i, 1))
If feuillePrincipale.Cells(i, 11).Value Like "S02*" Then
feuillePrincipale.Cells.Rows(i).EntireRow.copy S02Sheet.Rows(j)
j = j + 1
End If
i = i + 1
Wend
End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
If you have any idea, I read I can use Advanced filter but as you guess I'm new in VBA so I'm listening any tips!

Answer 1

Here is the Advanced Filter method you asked for:
Public Sub Christophe()
Const FILTER_COLUMN = 11
Dim i&, rCrit As Range, rData As Range, aShts
aShts = ["SO"&row(1:13)]
Set rData = Sheets("DATA").[a1].CurrentRegion
Set rCrit = rData.Resize(2, 1).Offset(, rData.Columns.Count + 2)
rCrit(1) = rData(1, FILTER_COLUMN)
For i = 1 To UBound(aShts)
rCrit(2) = aShts(i, 1) & "*"
rData.AdvancedFilter xlFilterCopy, rCrit, Sheets(aShts(i, 1)).[a1].Resize(, rData.Columns.Count)
Next
rCrit.Clear
End Sub
The execution time should be instantaneous.
Note: this assumes that you do have 13 criteria, each starting with "SO" and that they occupy column 11 of the Data sheet. It also assumes that you already have 13 sheets named SO1... SO13 in the workbook.
UPDATE
Based on new information that the pattern of the criteria can change, please try this version instead. Note, that it assumes that the sheets already exist and that the sheet names match the criteria:
Public Sub Christophe()
Const FILTER_COLUMN = 11
Dim i&, rCrit As Range, rData As Range, aShts
aShts = Array("SO1", "SO2", "ADQ03", "LocS10")
Set rData = Sheets("DATA").[a1].CurrentRegion
Set rCrit = rData.Resize(2, 1).Offset(, rData.Columns.Count + 2)
rCrit(1) = rData(1, FILTER_COLUMN)
For i = 0 To UBound(aShts)
rCrit(2) = aShts(i) & "*"
rData.AdvancedFilter xlFilterCopy, rCrit, Sheets(aShts(i)).[a1].Resize(, rData.Columns.Count)
Next
rCrit.Clear
End Sub

Answer 2

Try using an array to set your criteria sheets:
Dim shArray As Variant
Dim shArrayString As String
Dim feuillePrincipale As Excel.Worksheet
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Set feuillePrincipale = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("DATA")
j = 1
'// Create array and populate
shArray = Array("S01", "S02", "S03", "S04") '// add as required
'// Create string representation of array
shArrayString = "{"""
For i = LBound(shArray) To UBound(shArray)
shArrayString = shArrayString & shArray(i) & ""","""
Next
shArrayString = Left(shArrayString, Len(shArrayString) - 2) & "}"
'//Start loop
With feuillePrincipale
For i = 2 To .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
If Not Evaluate("ISERROR(MATCH(" & Left(.Cells(i, 11), 3) & "," & shArrayString & ",0))") Then
.Rows(i).Copy Sheets(shArray(WorksheetFunction.Match(Left(.Cells(i, 11), 3), shArray, 0))).Cells(j, 1)
j = j + 1
End If
Next
End With
It's a bit unclear because if you follow the code you've posted - it's actually just copying and pasting data to the same sheet...

Answer 3

Yes, you should use an autofilter and use a special select to get only the visible cells.
If you want the loop method, you should loop through each row on sheets("DATA") and use a Select Case Statement to decide onto which sheet the data is placed.
By looping through each sheet you are adding loops that will slow it down.
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim cel As Range
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim feuillePrincipale As Worksheet
Dim S01Sheet As Worksheet
Dim S02Sheet As Worksheet
Set feuillePrincipale = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("DATA")
Set S01Sheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("S01")
Set S02Sheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("S02")
For Each cel In feuillePrincipale.Range(feuillePrincipale.Range("A1"), feuillePrincipale.Range("A1").End(xlDown))
Select Case Left(cel.offset(,10).value, 3)
Case "S01"
j = S01Sheet.Range("A" & Rows.count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Row
feuillePrincipale.Cells.Rows(cel.Row).EntireRow.copy S01Sheet.Rows(j)
Case "S02"
j = S02Sheet.Range("A" & Rows.count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Row
feuillePrincipale.Cells.Rows(cel.Row).EntireRow.copy S02Sheet.Rows(j)
'Case .... keep adding select statement till you get to the last condition
Case Else
End Select
Next cel
