06 July 2024 In Excel, you can use the following steps to create separate sheets for each person from a master sheet containing scores:

1. **Filter by Person:**
- Click on the dropdown arrow in the header of the column that contains the names of the persons.
- Select the person's name whose data you want to separate into a new sheet.

2. **Copy Filtered Data:**
- Select all the filtered data (excluding the header) by clicking and dragging or using Ctrl+A (to select all data) and then copying it (Ctrl+C).

3. **Create New Sheet:**
- Right-click on the sheet navigation buttons (at the bottom-left corner of Excel) and select "Insert" to create a new sheet.

4. **Paste Data:**
- Go to the newly inserted sheet and paste the copied data (Ctrl+V).

5. **Rename Sheet (Optional):**
- Right-click on the sheet tab (at the bottom) and choose "Rename" to give it the person's name for clarity.

Repeat these steps for each person to create separate sheets. This method allows you to filter and extract data based on criteria (person's name) and create individual sheets efficiently in Excel. There isn't a single shortcut key to automate this entire process directly, but using filters and copy-paste operations is the most practical approach.
