Convert repeated Data in a Column into Headers.

[mikemakany]

Hi Experts,
I have a list with ID's in the 1st Column and their Position Titles in the second column repeated for each ID that has the same position. I need to make the position titles as the column headers and the ID's for each position below the Titles. There can be 100's of position titles. Please let me know if you need any further details. Attached is the sample data.
Thank you all for the help

Use this array formula in E2, copied across and down:

=IFERROR(INDEX($A:$A,SMALL(IF($B$2:$B$20=E$1,ROW($B$2:$B$20)),ROWS(E$2:E2))),"")

Array Formulae are a little different from ordinary formulae in that they MUST be confirmed in the FIRST CELL ONLY by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. After that, the array can be dragged down as normal, to cover the desired range.

You will know the array is active when you see curly brackets { } - or "curly braces" for those of you in the USA, or "flower brackets" for those of you in India - appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.

Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...
