Greetings,

I've been working on a project and after hours of searching and experimenting I can't get this to work. I hope this is possible with a bit of help from you guys :)

There is actually two problems. I will start with the sequence of importance.

1) I have a list of names in (column B - Sheet1). In (column D - Sheet1), I list the frequency. (This can be changed to values if that makes it easier in some way)
I want to take the names from (column B - Sheet1) and sort them according to their frequency, (column D - Sheet1).
The sorting should take place in a different sheet, eg (column C - Sheet2). I would prefer, if there could be one row between the sorted names.
I will show a picture that will hopefully make it more clear.

2) On the 2nd sheet (Sheet2), I would love to be able to get a working dynamic range of every frequency. The normal OFFSET and COUNTA doesnt work since the different categories are in the same column. Is it possible to stop make a range stop count after a cell have no text?
Eg: =OFFSET(C4; 0; 0; COUNTA(C4:C100); 1) will result in a range C4:C17.

Here is a link to a testing document if needed.

Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
I think VBA would be the only option. I dont know any VBA.
If the VBA code first could loop through the names column (sheet1 B), and pick all the ones that match a specifik frequency, then start posting it on sheet2, then continue loop through sheet1 B with another frequency etc.

The 2nd problem could maybe be solved with a formula, but I dont know how to stop counting when the input is empty "" .

Solved it. I know nothing about VBA, just got piece by piece from google. I know I could use a real loop, but it doesnt matter much for me, this code works like a charm.
Here is the code:
******
Sub FILTRERING()
Dim SelectedRng As Range


Sheets("1 Installningar").Range("C4:E500").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CriteriaRange:=Sheets("data").Range( _
"H10:H11"), CopyToRange:=Range("H4"), Unique:=False

Range("H4").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("H200").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

Set SelectedRng = ActiveSheet.Range(Selection.Address)

Sheets("1 Installningar").Range("C4:E500").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CriteriaRange:=Sheets("data").Range( _
"H12:H13"), CopyToRange:=SelectedRng, Unique:=False

Range("H4").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("H200").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

Set SelectedRng = ActiveSheet.Range(Selection.Address)

Sheets("1 Installningar").Range("C4:E500").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CriteriaRange:=Sheets("data").Range( _
"H14:H15"), CopyToRange:=SelectedRng, Unique:=False
Range("H4").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("H200").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

Set SelectedRng = ActiveSheet.Range(Selection.Address)

Sheets("1 Installningar").Range("C4:E500").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CriteriaRange:=Sheets("data").Range( _
"H16:H17"), CopyToRange:=SelectedRng, Unique:=False


End Sub
******
Cheers
