    Cool Trying to Merge/Combine Information

    Hello,

    I'm currently using Excel 2010 and I have a merging question. I'm working with this database...


    PersonID CategoryID
    1 Doyle
    1 Non LT-Client
    1 Prospect
    2 Client
    2 Doyle
    2 Prospect
    3 Client
    4 Prospect
    5 Prospect
    6 Arbor Prospect
    6 Client
    7 Prospect
    7 Seminar No-Show
    8 Prospect
    9 Arbor Client
    9 AVIVA
    9 Non LT-Client
    9 Prospect
    10 Prospect
    12 Prospect
    13 Prospect
    14 Prospect
    15 Prospect
    15 Seminar No-Show
    16 Prospect
    17 Prospect
    18 Prospect
    19 Arbor Prospect
    19 Client
    20 Client
    21 Prospect
    22 Prospect
    24 Prospect
    26 Prospect
    27 Prospect
    28 Client
    29 Prospect
    30 Prospect
    32 Arbor Prospect

    And it goes on for thousands of entries. I am looking for a way to combine the information in the second column into 1 cell for each # in the first column. For instance, Person ID 1 has 3 different Category ID's. I just want there to be 1 row with Person ID 1 and the 3 descriptors (Category ID's) in one cell. How do I combine that information??

    Thanks,
    Tracy

    I think this is what you need, see workbook attached below.

    This UDF has turned out to be useful but since there was a bug in the above version (only works with sorted lists) there is a upgraded version here:
