Splitting an Excel workbook into separate files is useful for many users. For example, if you take data from different people in different Excel sheets and then need to save them in separate files, this is where SplitExcel comes in. It takes the source Excel file (XLS or XLSX), splits it, and saves it as separate Excel files (XLSX).
