Excel 2013 - Making separate files automatically based on Rep #

Since I don't know VB, is there a way to take the code below and instead of making the user intervene and input a Rep # each time, can the coding be set up so that it will create a separate file for each rep (based on the Rep #), no matter if there are 50 reps, 100 reps, or 500 reps. And each separate rep file should be named according to Rep # and Rep Name - columns A & B and saved in the same folder.

A file is attached.

Sub Separate()

 Dim myValue As String
    Set myWorkbook = ActiveWorkbook
    myValue = InputBox("Make sure you have saved this workbook first!" & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & "Which rep number do you want?")
    If myValue <> "" Then
        introw = 2
        Do Until Cells(introw, 1) = ""
            Select Case Cells(introw, 1)
            Case myValue
                introw = introw + 1
            Case Else
                Rows(introw).Delete
            End Select
        Loop
        If Cells(2, 2) = "" Then
            MsgBox "No data!"
        Else
            Application.DisplayAlerts = False
            ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="G:\esu1234\excel\" & Cells(2, 1) & " - " & Cells(2, 2) & ".xlsx", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False
            Application.DisplayAlerts = True
        End If
            Workbooks.Open Filename:="G:\esu1234\excel\Kevin Sample Data - macro enabled.xlsm"
        myWorkbook.Close
    Else
        ' Abort
    End If

End Sub

ProfessorJimJam:  It seems to work well, except can you make it so that it is naming each individual file by the Rep # and Rep Name?  So the first rep listed, his file would be 1329 - Lyle. Then I think we're good.

Sorry I made a different Sub as do not agree with the proposed type of coding.

Anyway the Macro is called Separate pls run it and chk results.

here is the code
Sub Separate()
Dim WS As Worksheet
Dim WSREP As Worksheet
Dim WBREP As Workbook
Dim MaxRow As Long, I As Long, J As Long, K As Long
Dim sRep As String, sRepFile As String, sFilePath As String, sSheetName As String
Dim SrtRow As Long, EndRow As Long, lCount As Long

'---> Disable Events
With Application
    .EnableEvents = False
    .ScreenUpdating = False
    .DisplayAlerts = False
End With

Set WS = ActiveSheet
MaxRow = WS.Range("A" & WS.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
sFilePath = "G:\efu1234\excel"
'sFilePath = ActiveWorkbook.Path
sSheetName = WS.Name

For J = 2 To MaxRow - 1
    '---> Get Start and End row for Rep
    SrtRow = J
    K = J
    Do
        K = K + 1
    Loop Until InStr(1, WS.Cells(K, "A"), WS.Cells(J, "A")) = 0
    EndRow = K - 1
    
    '---> Test to see if the rep found already have a workbook
    sRepFile = Dir(sFilePath & "\" & WS.Cells(J, "A") & " - " & WS.Cells(J, "B") & ".xlsx")
    If sRepFile = "" Then
        '---> Create the new Workbook
        WS.Copy
        Set WBREPS = ActiveWorkbook
        sRepFile = sFilePath & "\" & WS.Cells(J, "A") & " - " & WS.Cells(J, "B") & ".xlsx"
        WBREPS.SaveAs Filename:=sRepFile
        Set WSREPS = ActiveSheet
        WSREPS.Name = sSheetName
        lCount = lCount + 1
    Else
        '---> Open the Existing workbook and add the current worksheet
        sRepFile = sFilePath & "\" & WS.Cells(J, "A") & " - " & WS.Cells(J, "B") & ".xlsx"
        Set WBREPS = Workbooks.Open(sRepFile)
        WS.Copy after:=WBREPS.Worksheets(WBREPS.Worksheets.Count)
        Set WSREPS = ActiveSheet
        WSREPS.Name = sSheetName
    End If
    
    
    '---> Remove Unecessary Rows
    WSREPS.Range("A" & EndRow + 1 & ":A" & WSREPS.Rows.Count).EntireRow.Delete
    If SrtRow > 2 Then
        WSREPS.Range("A2:A" & SrtRow - 1).EntireRow.Delete
    End If
    
    '---> Autofit
    WSREPS.UsedRange.EntireColumn.AutoFit
    
    WSREPS.Activate
    WSREPS.Cells(1, "A").Select
    
    '---> Save and close file
    WBREPS.Close savechanges:=True
        
    '---> release variables
    Set WBREPS = Nothing
    Set WSREPS = Nothing
    
    '---> Goto next Rep
    J = EndRow
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    WS.Activate
    DoEvents
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
Next J


'---> Disable Events

MsgBox "A total of " & lCount & " rep files were created successfully.", vbExclamation, "Create Rep Files"
