Essentially I'm looking for a group by function where I can group my data based on a shared value and then export these subsets into seperate shapefiles where each subset shapefile shares the same attribute value.

 

For example my shapefile has field that has either a value of 1,2,3,4 I'd like to create 4 shapefiles from the main shapefile where 1 shapefile has the value of 1, the other has the value of 2, etc..

Use the fanout function.
