    How to transpose based on first column?

    My Excel sheet is formatted like this.

    Name Nicknames
    A Alex
    A A2D2
    A Bobsicle
    B Liar
    B Pants
    C Corry
    C Corex
    C Lo
    C Blow
    D Dex

    To

    Name Nicknames Nicknames Nicknames Nicknames
    A Alex A2D2 Bobsicle
    B Liar Pants
    C Corry Corex Lo Blow
    D Dex

    I want to transpose the data based on the first column A then any data based on column A will be placed on the same row.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    A second means is to use Power Query

    Power Query is a free AddIn for Excel 2010 and 2013, and is built-in functionality from Excel 2016 onwards (where it is referred to as "Get & Transform Data").

    It is a powerful yet simple way of getting, changing and using data from a broad variety of sources, creating steps which may be easily repeated and refreshed. I strongly recommend learning how to use Power Query - it's among the most powerful functionalities of Excel.

    - Follow this link to learn how to install Power Query in Excel 2010 / 2013.

    - Follow this link for an introduction to Power Query functionality.

    - Follow this link for a video which demonstrates how to use Power Query code provided.
