    Transform List into Grid/2D table

    Hello,

    I am trying to transform a database like list into a 2d table. Something like this:

    From:
    Category_A Sub-Cat 1 Text1
    Category_A Sub-Cat 1 Text2
    Category_A Sub-Cat 1 Text3
    Category_A Sub-Cat 2 Text4
    Category_A Sub-Cat 2 Text5
    Category_A Sub-Cat 3 Text6
    Category_A Sub-Cat 3 Text7
    Category_A Sub-Cat 3 Text8
    Category_B Sub-Cat 4 Text9
    Category_B Sub-Cat 4 Text10
    Category_B Sub-Cat 4 Text11
    Category_B Sub-Cat 5 Text12
    Category_B Sub-Cat 5 Text13
    Category_B Sub-Cat 5 Text14
    Category_C Sub-Cat 6 Text15
    Category_C Sub-Cat 6 Text16
    Category_C Sub-Cat 6 Text17

    into:

    Category_A Sub-Cat1 Text1 Text2 Text3
    Category_A Sub-Cat2 Text4 Text5
    Category_A Sub-Cat3 Text6 Text7 Text8
    Category_B Sub-Cat4 Text9 Text10 Text11
    Category_B Sub-Cat5 Text12 Text13 Text14
    Category_C Sub-Cat6 Text15 Text16 Text17

    is there any formula I could use? Or do I need a macro?

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    BR

    Which Excel version do you have (2016, 2019, 365)? Answers can differ depending on your version.

    Excel 16.49 on Mac (Office 2019), I could also use Excel (16.0) on Windows.

    Thanks for your support!

    Thanks a lot for taking the time to help me!

    This link you sent is really useful, I was not aware of that with Pivot Table. Unfortunately, I realized that I did not described my issue well enough. I have now taken a screenshot of what I mean in excel, I hope it is better now. Sorry for this. Do you see an easy way to do this? Is it possible with Pivot Table?

    Thanks again!
