How to create relates, shp and excels that get written in to attribute named folder?

Question

PL.shp with attribute 1
Excel with Attibute 1 and Attribute 2
Attribute 1s relate

I have AttributeFilter set for Attribute 1 to extract Attirbute 1 from PL.shp

I need to relate Attribute 1 to Attribute 2, which was not in PL.shp, but is in a related Excel

Once the relate is attained from 1 and 2, I need to create a shp that retains the name of Attribute 2 which is then written into a folder with Attribute 2 name.

This will have to be done 200 times, so how can I efficiently get from reader to writing 200 shps that need to be in attribute 2 named folders?

Then from there, the shp needs to be created into an excel that is placed in attribute 2 named folder.
