Divide and export the data according to these instructions

[elemelek]

Hi MrExcel Community,
my name is Dominika and I'm looking for a VBA code help.
I need to automate some of my Excel work for the sake of completing my dissertation on time, but I'm new to VBA.
I have data that have following columns:
year quarter code number1 number2

The data are properly sorted according to the year, quarter and number1 which are digit data sorted from the smallest to the biggest

All I need is a code in VBA that would make the following

for every year and every quarter
count number of rows in given quarter in given year and save as a variable X
open new file
import the first X/4 integer number of rows
at the end of every quarter add a line with a product from column 'number2' of all imported rows
(repeat the above (create new files with imported data) until all the rows from given year and quarter are imported.)
move to another year and separate the data similar as above and add them as new lines to already existing 4 files.
save and close the files


I want to end up with 4 files containing grouped data that span from 2005 quarter 1 to 2014 quarter 4.

Could you please help me out with converting these instructions into VBA code?

Are you trying to build 4 files from raw data that are organized by quarters? Then in each of those 4 files (Quarter 1, 2, 3 & 4), you're organizing it by year? Then you'd like the product of Column "Number 2"? If this is what you're looking to do can you custom sort your data by Quarter, then by Year, then by Column 'Number 2'? That would break your data into 4 blocks that you could simply copy and paste into a new worksheet or workbook.
