    Duplicate names in column A, unique data in column B. Need one row for each unique name

    I am having troubles getting this post to load. Every time I select it to view it I get a server error. Basically I have a spreadsheet that lists a student's name three times in three separate rows in Column A. Column B lists a unique class that the student is takings. I need one row per student with a separate column for each course. Attached is an example of what I am talking about. Thanks.

    Copy the list of names in A3:A7 and paste to A11. Then click Data > remove duplicates and follow the prompts. Then in B11 array-enter this formula and fill across and down.
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    If you aren’t familiar with array-entered formulas array enter means the formula must be committed from edit mode by simultaneously pressing and holding down Ctrl and Shift while hitting Enter.
