lastCol = Split(Columns(Range("A1").End(xlToRight).Column).Address(, False), ":")(1)
' copy cell N2 and paste to sheet2 on cell A1
' change Sheet2 by your sheet
Range(lastCol & "2").Copy Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1")
' copy cell A1:N2 and paste to sheet3 from cell A1
' change Sheet3 by your sheet
Range("A1:" & lastCol & "2").Copy Worksheets("Sheet3").Range("A1")
End Sub
