Do you recognize any of these situations?

• I have a file. LO Calc with many sheets. We need to export each sheet to a separate file. Ideally the file name would be the sheet name. Is this possible? Using the option "Save as" on the menu "File" , I have to save each sheet manually.
• I have a workbook with a lot of sheets. I need to save each of these sheets into a separate file. Is this possible through LO Calc or with additional software?
• I have a file that contains many sheets. Each sheet contains personal information and is named after that person. In order to send the sensitive information to a person, I need to separate the worksheet from all other sheets and name the workbook (with one sheet) after that person. Without a macro, I have to do this many times (unfortunately!). So my question is, does anyone know of a macro that can split a workbook with "x" sheets into "x" files and give that file the name of that specific worksheet?
• The sheets I copy to save as a new file have cells that contain more than 255 characters. When I copy the sheet, only the first 255 characters in each cell are copied. How can I copy all the information? I need to do this on 16 sheets.
• I would like to use a macro to split a workbook with multiple tabs into separate workbooks (one workbook for each tab) with the tab name as the filename of the new workbook. It would be great if the references to external files were converted before splitting the workbook.

Quick solution

Just use the next tool in the menu LO Calc :

This is much faster than manually copying the sheets into a new workbook and then saving each one.

How much time will this save?

Using this tool will definitely save you time and effort. However, the actual time savings will depend on how often you use it. LO Calc , the amount of data you work with, and how often you use this tool.
