This is my first post here, so please be nice!
I have an excel file with a pretty cool macro i made using snippets of code I found online (mostly from Excel MVP Ron de Bruin).
What it does is copy data from a range (not yet formatted as a table because the code doesn't support that, but it may have to be) and does a VLookup to create temporary workbooks with data pertaining to only a specific person's name. Then it references a mapping sheet and sends an outlook email to those people. It's pretty awesome.
It works perfectly now, when there's only one data-set on the page. My problem comes, however, when there are two objects on the page, because it does not carry over column headings.
If you look at my attached image of the file (https://i.stack.imgur.com/K6LSC.jpg), I have both North American and European Sample Data, with some names overlapping. I need the distinct column headings to carry over, so the person recieving the email knows the difference between NA data and European Data.
The email it generates looks like this: (https://i.stack.imgur.com/0mDHU.jpg) As you see, the second entry doesn't make sense because it took place under a different header.

After re-reading the question, I think the simplest way is to read down the original worksheet, each time a name is encountered for the first time to copy the whole sheet to a new workbook, name the sheet after the person and then delete all the other names from that sheet. That leaves us with a worksheet for each person with all the original headings and formats intact and we can then email it. So here is my code. I've not touched any of the emailing code.
I believe from the original code that the name of the person,e.g. "Jim", is what is used to lookup the email address and naming the sheet after the person makes it easy to get the name.
