Extracting Data from Excel Database - excel

Question

I've got a database with a long list of names, and unique values associated with the names. What I want to do is create one worksheet for each individual, and then copy only their data to a specified range in their worksheet, then proceed to the next individual, copy their data to their worksheet etc.
Here is a link to an example worksheet (in google docs form, note - I am actually using Excel 2010, not google docs).
I've been able to create all the worksheets through using the following code in a new sheet I called "Employee". All I did to this sheet was remove the duplicate name values so I could have a list of all the names for the worksheets.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Sub CreateSheetsFromAList()
Dim nameSource As String 'sheet name where to read names
Dim nameColumn As String 'column where the names are located
Dim nameStartRow As Long 'row from where name starts
Dim nameEndRow As Long 'row where name ends
Dim employeeName As String 'employee name
Dim newSheet As Worksheet
nameSource = "Employee"
nameColumn = "A"
nameStartRow = 1
'find the last cell in use
nameEndRow = Sheets(nameSource).Cells(Rows.Count, nameColumn).End(xlUp).Row
'loop till last row
Do While (nameStartRow <= nameEndRow)
'get the name
employeeName = Sheets(nameSource).Cells(nameStartRow, nameColumn)
'remove any white space
employeeName = Trim(employeeName)
' if name is not equal to ""
If (employeeName <> vbNullString) Then
On Error Resume Next 'do not throw error
Err.Clear 'clear any existing error
'if sheet name is not present this will cause error that we are going to leverage
Sheets(employeeName).Name = employeeName
If (Err.Number > 0) Then
'sheet was not there, so it create error, so we can create this sheet
Err.Clear
On Error GoTo -1 'disable exception so to reuse in loop
'add new sheet
Set newSheet = Sheets.Add(After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count))
'rename sheet
newSheet.Name = employeeName
'paste training material
Sheets(employeeName).Cells(1, "A").PasteSpecial
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End If
End If
nameStartRow = nameStartRow + 1 'increment row
Loop
End Sub

Bare bones approach - could be optimized for better performance, but it will do the job.
Sub SplitToSheets()
Dim c As Range, ws As Worksheet, rngNames
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("EmployeeData")
Set rngNames = .Range(.Range("A1"), .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp))
End With
For Each c In rngNames.Cells
Set ws = GetSheet(ThisWorkbook, c.Value)
c.EntireRow.Copy ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
Next c
End Sub
Function GetSheet(wb As Workbook, wsName As String, _
Optional CreateIfMissing As Boolean = True) As Worksheet
Dim ws As Worksheet
On Error Resume Next
Set ws = wb.Sheets(wsName)
On Error GoTo 0
If ws Is Nothing And CreateIfMissing Then
Set ws = wb.Sheets.Add(after:=wb.Sheets(wb.Sheets.Count))
ws.Name = wsName
End If
Set GetSheet = ws
End Function
