    combining data

    I have a spreadsheet that has duplicates in column a. Then the other columns have different data that goes with them. I would like to combine so that I have a unique number is column a and have the other columns showing all of the data.

    For example
    SO name type
    1023 jake 24/7
    1023 jake premium
    1024 brian premium


    I would like it to look like this.
    SO name type type
    1023 jake 24/7 premium
    1024 brian premium


    Does anyone know how to do this with functions?

    Please post a sample workbook with what is typically found in each column, and the expected result.

    Simple/stupid solution (-'s included for reading clarity):

    --A----B------C------------D
    1023--Jake -24/7 -------1023Jake24/7---------------------------->First line formula: =A1&B1&C1
    1023--Jake -Premium-- 1023Jake24/7Premium------------------>Copy down for all other lines: '=IF(B2=B1,D1&C2,A2&B2&C2)
    1024--Brian-Premium--1024BrianPremium
