Thanks to @Alex Blakenburg I have the following code which works perfectly on my dataset
VBA Code:
Sub create_journal_arr()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim a As Long
Dim b As Long
Dim arrA As Variant, arrB As Variant
Dim wsA As Worksheet
Dim rngA As Range, rngB As Range

Set wsA = ActiveSheet
With wsA
    LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    Set rngA = .Range(.Cells(2, "A"), .Cells(LastRow, "H"))
    arrA = rngA.Value2
End With

Set rngB = Sheet2.Range("A2")
ReDim arrB(1 To UBound(arrA) * 7, 1 To 4)

b = 1
For a = 1 To UBound(arrA)
arrB(b, 1) = "C5678"
arrB(b, 2) = "103000"
arrB(b, 3) = arrA(a, 3)
arrB(b, 4) = arrA(a, 2)
b = b + 1

If arrA(a, 4) <> 0 Then
    arrB(b, 1) = arrA(a, 1)
    arrB(b, 2) = "145444"
    arrB(b, 3) = arrA(a, 4)
    arrB(b, 4) = arrA(a, 2)
    b = b + 1
End If
If arrA(a, 5) <> 0 Then
    arrB(b, 1) = arrA(a, 1)
    arrB(b, 2) = "173000"
    arrB(b, 3) = arrA(a, 5)
    arrB(b, 4) = arrA(a, 2)
    b = b + 1
End If
If arrA(a, 6) <> 0 Then
    arrB(b, 1) = arrA(a, 1)
    arrB(b, 2) = "199000"
    arrB(b, 3) = arrA(a, 6)
    arrB(b, 4) = arrA(a, 2)
    b = b + 1
End If
If arrA(a, 7) <> 0 Then
    arrB(b, 1) = arrA(a, 1)
    arrB(b, 2) = "212000"
    arrB(b, 3) = arrA(a, 7)
    arrB(b, 4) = arrA(a, 2)
    b = b + 1
End If
If arrA(a, 8) <> 0 Then
    arrB(b, 1) = arrA(a, 1)
    arrB(b, 2) = "255666"
    arrB(b, 3) = arrA(a, 8)
    arrB(b, 4) = arrA(a, 2)
    b = b + 1
End If
Next

' Write out Array
rngB.Resize(b, UBound(arrB, 2)).Value = arrB

End Sub

A victim of our own success, this code is so efficient that the world and his wife are now using it and we now have a situation where the array has over 100,000 records - this code generates the output perfectly and in seconds but loading that dataset into an accounts package is timing out (too many records).

Is it possible to modify this code so it pushes, say 25,000 records onto Sheet2, the next 25,000 records into Sheet3 etc etc?
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
You can rearrange this line:
VBA Code:
rngB.Resize(b, UBound(arrB, 2)).Value = arrB
like this:
VBA Code:
rngB.Resize(b/2, UBound(arrB, 2)).Value = arrB
Set rngB = Sheet3.Range("A2")
rngB.Resize(b-(b/2), UBound(arrB, 2)).Value = Application.Index(arrB, Evaluate("row(" & (b/2)+1 & ":" & b & ")"), Evaluate("column(1:" & UBound(arrB, 2) & ")"))
It's a bit sketchy but must work (y)

Thanks for that - but on Sheet3 all I have is #VALUE in each cell.

Plus is this just splitting the array into 2?

Yes indeed.

Ok, I think you have odd number of rows. Declare a Long c at the very beginning. Then:
VBA Code:
c = b / 2
rngB.Resize(c, UBound(arrB, 2)).Value = arrB
Set rngB = Sheet3.Range("A2")
rngB.Resize(b - c, UBound(arrB, 2)).Value = Application.Index(arrB, Evaluate("row(" & c + 1 & ":" & b & ")"), Evaluate("column(1:" & UBound(arrB, 2) & ")"))

Run Time Error 1004

Application-defined or Object-defined error on :(

Ok, try to set Sheet3 with worksheet name. I can't think of any other solutions:
VBA Code:
c = b / 2
rngB.Resize(c, UBound(arrB, 2)).Value = arrB
Set rngB = Worksheets("Sheet3").Range("A2")
rngB.Resize(b - c, UBound(arrB, 2)).Value = Application.Index(arrB, Evaluate("row(" & c + 1 & ":" & b & ")"), Evaluate("column(1:" & UBound(arrB, 2) & ")"))

That works, many thanks!
