    Still struggling with splitting names into groups.

    People were kind enough to help the other day but I still can't get my head around a suggested solution.
    I think I made things a little more complicated than they needed to be so I've attached a simplified version.

    Here's the deal:
    I have one list of names/score/age group
    I want to produce a three sets of results based on age group (A, B or C in column "C")

    Believe me, I've tried, but there comes a point where my brainpower isn't up to the task involved.

    Anyway, as ever, help would be really appreciated.

    OK, I'll go and take another look at that option. I did have pivot tables suggested at some point. My problem is the gap between brainpower available and brainpower required.

    Well I had a look but I don't really want people having dropdown and collapsing buttons. This is for senior golfers, and simplicity is key.
    The names in column A will already be in score order.

    What I need is:

    "Look at C3. If it equals "A" then put the contents of A3 and B3 into the first empty rows in columns E and F....if it equals "B" then use columns H and I etc....
    Then look at C4 and repeat"

    I'm afraid I just can't translate that into Excelese.

    Thanks all.
