    Merge Columns into One Row, Separated by Semicolon, Dependent on A Different Column

    Hi!
    I am an Excel beginner so while familiar with the idea of formulas I am not sure if this is something that is possible to do. Specifically, I have a few columns of keywords and Speciality/Area of Expertise for authors - the author names are First Name: Column B, Last Name, Middle Name, Column C, and Last Name Column D. The Keywords and Speciality/Area of Expertise are filtered in Column O, and the answer is in Column P.

    My problem is that each Keyword and each Speciality/Area of Expertise is listed individually in multiple rows - so each author will have one/more/multiple keywords in Column O and Column P.

    I need these to be all listed within one row -- with one column for Keyword and a separate column Speciality/Area of Expertise. All of the multiple entries will be in the same row of that column, separated by a ";" semicolon.

    Any ideas? Or, can someone point me in the right direction?

    Thank you so much!
