Combine Multiple sections into single cells

Hi

Yeah that works perfectly although the end result is displayed in the end cell of each section and I need it in the first cell of eachsection like below

Current formula

Black
Navy
Red Black|Navy|Red

Required format

Black Black|Navy|Red
Navy
Red

In your first file it was shown at the end of each section.

Working with your second file, keep the formula in B3 the same, and put this formula in D3:

=IF(ISNUMBER(B2),INDEX(B:B,MATCH(B2+1,B:B,0)-1),"")

Then copy down, fix the values in column D, and delete columns A to C, as previously advised.

Remember to save your file with a different name in case you ever need the original data.

Hope this helps.
