Hello, for long time now I'm searching a way in excel to solve following: Data I have: Name Score Annie 11 Beth 22 Cathy 33 Dana 44 Annie 55 Beth 66 Annie 77 Beth 88 Cathy 99 Data I want to produce: Name Score Annie 11|55|77 Beth 22|66 Cathy 33|99 Dana 44 The character "|" is just a example of separator it can be any other meaningfull characted. Download and install the free add-in Morefunc.xll from: http://xcell05.free.fr/english/ then use the following formulas To get unique names: In D2: =IF(ISERR(SMALL(IF(MATCH(Name,Name,0)=ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS(Name))),MATCH(Name,Name,0)),ROWS($1:1))),"",INDEX(Name,SMALL(IF(MATCH(Name,Name,0)=ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS(Name))),MATCH(Name,Name,0)),ROWS($1:1)))) ctrl+shift+enter, not just enter copy down In E2: =SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(MCONCAT(IF(Name=$D2,Score,"")&" "))," ","|") ctrl+shift+enter, not just enter copy down > Hello, for long time now I'm searching a way in excel to solve following: > Data I have: [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > The character "|" is just a example of separator it can be any other > meaningfull characted. Hi Teethless mama, I've downloaded add-in but your first formula is not wokring for me. I've put data starting in A1 but when I insert your function in D2 it does not show any data nor error - just blank. Am I missing something. > Download and install the free add-in Morefunc.xll from: > http://xcell05.free.fr/english/ [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > > The character "|" is just a example of separator it can be any other > > meaningfull characted. If you're going to use Morefunc to concat the data why not use Morefunc to extract the uniques? > =IF(ISERR(SMALL(IF(MATCH(Name,Name,0)=ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS(Name))),MATCH(Name,Name,0)),ROWS($1:1))),"",INDEX(Name,SMALL(IF(MATCH(Name,Name,0)=ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS(Name))),MATCH(Name,Name,0)),ROWS($1:1)))) =INDEX(UNIQUEVALUES(Name),ROWS(A$1:A1))  SignatureBiff Microsoft Excel MVP > Download and install the free add-in Morefunc.xll from: > http://xcell05.free.fr/english/ [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] >> The character "|" is just a example of separator it can be any other >> meaningfull characted. Hi again Teethless mama, I was wrong, your code does work, I'm not so profound with Excel so I did not get it right away that ranges shuld be defined. Thanks for your help. > Download and install the free add-in Morefunc.xll from: > http://xcell05.free.fr/english/ [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > > The character "|" is just a example of separator it can be any other > > meaningfull characted. With your data in cols A & B, running this macro: Sub baki() Range("C:D").Clear n = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row Cells(2, 3).Value = Cells(2, 1).Value k = 3 For i = 3 To n Set bb = Range("A2:A" & i) cnt = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(bb, Cells(i, 1)) If cnt = 1 Then Cells(k, 3).Value = Cells(i, 1).Value k = k + 1 End If Next For i = 2 To k - 1 flr = Cells(i, 3).Value For j = 2 To n If flr = Cells(j, 1).Value Then Cells(i, 4).Value = Cells(i, 4).Value & Cells(j, 2).Value & "!" End If Next Next End Sub will give you the desired data in cols C & D SignatureGary''s Student - gsnu200784 > Hello, for long time now I'm searching a way in excel to solve following: > Data I have: [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > The character "|" is just a example of separator it can be any other > meaningfull characted. The code works great for total nummeric values in 'A2:A' but is there a way to open the format requirements, to allow text or any of the other formats available to be in column A? For example I have some ESNs (Alphanumeric data) that when I paste them, I get the green triangle in the upper right corner. If I leave them alone and run the macro, it wont comeplete the. IF I convert the pasted data to where all the data is alligned to the right side of the cell(green thiny goes away)... excel will truncate the data; and the macro will complete. I have data for an example and I am not seeing where i can upload data for an example....I will return to see if there is a reply. Thx. Try posting within the original thread. A standalone post like yours gives no background or information about the original problem or the code supplied.
