Use SPL IDE to execute the code:

=T@b("data.xlsx").group(#1.split("-")(1);~).(T@b("Group_" / #1 / ".txt": #2))

The T()function reads files as a table and writes a table to files; @b means that column names are not included. group() function groups rows according to the specified rule and retains the detail data in each group; ~ is the current member of the sequence, and #1 is the 1st column of the table.
