,

The header row,
Group Amount1 Amount2 Amount3 Amount4 Notes1 Notes2 Notes3 Notes4 Name
, we could make partially dynamic, as is needed, since we don’t know the maximum number of amounts ( = maximum number of Notes ) , before seeing the data.

We do have the information needed, since Mx contains, in our current example, the required value of 4

Evaluate Range techniques are a convenient way to get these sort of things.

We start by considering spreadsheet formulas such as this,
={"Amount" & COLUMN(A1:D1)}
, which returns us an array, which applied across a range , would give us like
Amount1 Amount2 Amount3 Amount4

Taking that general idea and a few other steps we can finally get at our heading like in this demo coding

Dim strAmounts As String
 Let strAmounts = Join(Amounts(), vbTab)
 Let strAmounts = Join(Evaluate("=""Amount"" & COLUMN(A:" & Split(Cells(1, Mx).Address, "$")(1) & ")"), vbTab)

' similarly for the  notes
Dim strNotes As String
 Let strNotes = Join(Evaluate("=""Note"" & COLUMN(A:" & Split(Cells(1, Mx).Address, "$")(1) & ")"), vbTab)

' To get our final heading string,
Dim strHd As String

Second simplified Solution

I think in the first solution I made initially a mistake in trying to set the pseudo public variables, *** and so went off in a tangent using the Application.Run stuff. You don’t need any of that and can forget the two macros that fill the variables as well.

You just need this

Worksheet code module, Sheet1 ( in PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls )

 Public C1 As String

Workbook code module, ThisWorkbook ( in PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls )

 Public C2 As String

And then the other macros are like

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Select Case Me.CheckBox1
     Case True
      'C1 = "yes"
                                          '  Application.Run Macro:="'" & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls'!Sheet1.PhilC1", Arg1:="Yus"
     Let Workbooks("PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls").Worksheets("Sheet1").C1 = "Yus"
    End Select
    Select Case Me.CheckBox2
     Case True
      'C2 = "yes"
                                          '  Application.Run Macro:="'" & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls'!ThisWorkbook.PhilC2", Arg1:="Ja"
     Let Workbooks("PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls").C2 = "Ja"
    End Select
 Unload Me
 Call Sheet2.Fi_l
End Sub

Sub Fi_l()
    'Act_ive
 'Let Range("A2").Resize(10).Value = C1
 Let Range("A2").Resize(10).Value = Workbooks("PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls").Worksheets("Sheet1").C1
 'let Range("B2").Resize(10).Value = C2
 Let Range("B2").Resize(10).Value = Workbooks("PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls").C2
End Sub
