What Does Split Excel by Column Mean?

Splitting Excel by column value means automatically dividing a master Excel sheet into multiple individual Excel files based on unique values present in one selected column. Each unique value becomes its own dataset.

Real Example

If a worksheet contains a column named City with values such as Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, this tool will automatically generate three separate Excel files — one for each city — containing only relevant rows.

Why Manual Filtering Is Inefficient

Manually filtering Excel data using AutoFilter requires repeating the process dozens of times, copying rows and creating new files manually — a slow and error-prone workflow.

Automatic Group-By Logic

The tool performs an advanced group-by operation similar to SQL: GROUP BY column_name. Rows are automatically clustered based on matching values.

Supports Any Column Type

  • City or location
  • Department
  • Employee name
  • Product category
  • Date and month

Automatic File Naming

Each Excel file is automatically named using the column value, making files easy to identify and organize.

Bulk ZIP Download

When dozens or hundreds of files are created, the system packages them into a single ZIP archive for convenient download.

Common Business Use Cases

  • Regional sales separation
  • Department-wise payroll
  • City-wise customer lists
  • Product category reporting
  • School or college student grouping

Maintains Original Data Integrity

All cell values, formulas and formatting remain preserved. Only row grouping is performed — no data is altered.

Client-Side Processing & Privacy

All operations run inside your browser memory. No Excel file is uploaded to any server, ensuring complete confidentiality of your business data.
