Hi,

I have many rows of description but the same code for each one.
I want to have all the descriptions in one cell for each code.

SAMPLE.xlsx
Thanks

1) In C2, add this formula, then copy down:
=IF(A2=A3, B2&" - "&C3, B2)

2) Copy the results from column C and click on B2, then do a Paste Special > Values
This replaces the values in column B with the values from C

3) In C2, change the formula to this and copy down:
=A2<>A1

4) Now filter column C for FALSE and delete all the visible rows

5) Turn off the filter

6) Delete column C
