In my data set, each "main" variable e.g. NGDPRPC has an associated rank variable. I would like to export the data into single excel file with 4 sheets (there are 4 "major" variables in this example) ; each sheet will contain name, year, and one "major" variable with its rank variable i.e. total four variables. In addition, I would like to name the sheets according to the "major" variables they contain.
