    Combining Many Rows based on Column Value

    Hey everyone,

    First post here- hoping to get some help.

    I'm working on a project where I have two main values (a material # and a code for orders)... the Material # is in Column A and the Order Codes are in Column B... my issue is I need to combine all unique codes for each part and put that result in Column C.

    Might be good to give you an example...

    A (Material) B (Code) C (What I'm looking for)
    78987 0409
    78987 0952
    78987 1354
    78987 1217 = 0409, 0952, 1354, 1217
    68877 0744
    68877 0988
    68877 0855 = 0744, 0988, 0855
    53122
    53122

    and so on...

    I have to do this for a few thousand pieces so I'm definitely looking for some sort of equation that can be copied down or something of that nature. So I'm really trying to combine the values in Column B based on if they share the same value in Column A. I think this should be easy but I'm hitting a sort of "excel-block" (writers block of excel...)

    Thanks for the help.

    mjh1,

    Welcome to the forum.
    You can use a filter for the data in column A and then copy and transpose the visible cell to another worksheet. If you do not receive an answer I'll put something to gather when I get back.
    Also it would be helpful if you attach a workbook.
    Charles

    There are other ways to do this, this is but 1 !
    Be Sure you thank those who helped.

    Thanks for the Response....

    Here's an attached workbook with an example of what I have and what I need...... I just gave a short example- the actual workbook I need help with has over 3,000 entries. Thanks
