If A2="Mike" then copy entire row into this workbook.

Is this possible?

A2 = Mike

a4 = See Spot run

a6 = formula = See Spot run

Mike

See Spot run

=IF(A2="Mike",A4,"")

Not sure I understand...
Where are you wanting to copy *from* and *to*?
A little more detail would help get you a correct answer!
 
Sorry, I wasn't very clear.
I have one main database where everything is entered. If column "A" says "Ken" then copy the whole row (10 columns) into a worksheet named "Ken". If column "A" says "Mike" then copy entire row into worksheet named "Mike".
And so on.

Ok, so you have a workbook containing an "entry" worksheet and separate worksheets for each person.

Basically:
You will need to use code to loop through the rows on the "entry" worksheet and determine the name in column A. Use the name to determine which "Person" worksheet to copy the data to.

Some considerations:
How do you want the data copied? (Append it to existing data on the "Person" sheet, replace existing data, etc...)
What happens to the data on the "entry" sheet? (Leave it where it is, delete it once copied, etc...)
What happens when a name is entered and there isn't a corresponding "Person" sheet? (Raise an error, create a new sheet, etc...)

Good Luck!
 
Thanks MisterC for the tip. You gave me a few things to think about also. This should keep me busy writing the code.
