collect similar brands

[KingTamo]

Hi excel experts

my data in two columns the first column is column A has data separated by spaces
e.g
cat dog fish camel

in column B there are data (you may call it Brands)
In the worksheet there are a lot of similar brands (e.g ALK)

I wanted to collect each brand in just one row instead of several rows

cat dog fish camel **** ALK
he she it we you ****** ALK
go went gone sell ***** MLK

The result wanted collect ALK in one row
cat dog fish camel he she it we you *** ALK
go went gone sell *** MLK

By now you should know that sample file attachment depicting before | after scenario renders results...

IGNORE _ answers provided while page open

A sample sheet would help here


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.
