what version of excel do you have ?

textjoin and filter should work

in D1 put
=UNIQUE(A1:A9)
in E1 put and copy down
=TEXTJOIN(" , ",,FILTER($B$1:$B$9,$A$1:$A$9=D1))

Note: Images are difficult to see , and also requires that I input all the data myself, which means I may make an error, which is very time consuming, and from my point of view less likely to get a response, if a complicated spreadsheet.

A sample sheet would help here, and possibly will enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.


The forum does allow for spreadsheets to be uploaded direct to the forum -

Please see the Yellow Banner at the top of the page explaining how to attach a sample spreadsheet

A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

Here are the instructions, found at the top of the page again

Post a small Excel sheet (not a picture) showing realistic & representative sample data WITHOUT confidential information (10-20 rows, not thousands...) and some manually calculated results. For a new thread (1st post), scroll to Manage Attachments, otherwise scroll down to GO ADVANCED, click, and then scroll down to MANAGE ATTACHMENTS and click again. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

thank you
i have attached an example workbook.
i can use the TEXTJOIN formule, but unsure how to make it work in combining the first column A

i posted a smaple sheet with the formula in

no need to quote my entire post again

what info do you need ?

also if you update your profile for the version of excel you have , will help
as textjoin() appears to be in 2019 version but filter is NOT until 2021 according to MS site

so if you have 2021 or 365 - it should work - if not then another formula will be needed - but who knows , need the version you have

[Kouemaha]

thanks, i have 365

either:
=TEXTJOIN(";",,FILTER($B$2:$B$6,$A$2:$A$6=A2))

copied down, or (delete all expected results first)

=BYROW(A2:A6,LAMBDA(x,TEXTJOIN(";",,FILTER(B2:B6,A2:A6=x))))

[etaf]

ok.,
=TEXTJOIN(";",,FILTER($B$1:$B$9,$A$1:$A$9=A2))
did you want a semi-colon or comma as delimiter - you show both

change profile to show 365 and the version, as newest will not mean much overtime

great, thanks all, got it working
