    Skip Repeats without Deleting w/Multi-Criteria involved

    So I'm trying to create a sort of transcript-type report for my students, but I'm having a bit of a difficult time.

    I use an online database called PowerSchool and it stores the grades for all the students in the program in that database. When I export the grades, it comes out as a huge list stating the grade/class/letter grade, tons of info. The one problem is that it gives me information for the same class in different rows. So the list would look like this:

    Student___ Grade___ Class___ Term___ Letter Grade
    PS Dude___5th___ Math____ 1st ___ A+
    PS Dude___5th___ Math____ 2nd ___ B+
    PS Dude___5th___ Math____ 3rd ___ C-

    So it looks something simple, except that it exports hundreds of kids information and it's all jumbled up.

    What I would like the report to look like is:

    PS Dude - 5th Grade
    Subject___Term1___Term2___Term3
    Math___A+___B+___C-

    I've tried INDEX/MATCH and an assortment of other formulas, but I can't seem to be able to just skip any repeat classes and consolidate that letter grade information into one row only.

    I've attached a sample workbook (much simpler that the real one), so that hopefully you guys can help me out. Thank you so much! I apologize in advance if it seems a bit confusing what I'm writing.

    PSD, is the data sorted ?

    Given there is only one grade in the sample it's hard to be sure but the implication is that it is sorted by C, E, D, A (C is a guess given there is only one value).

    If that is the case and working on the assumption that only one student is ever reviewed at any given time then perhaps the attached might work for you ?

    (in the attached I assumed the repetition of 5th Grade was an error - and added some additional data for grades other than 5)
