I am hoping to use a formula to generate a list in column D where column A acts as Subtitles for the values of column B
Ive included a screenshot to illustrate.

Hi,
One more follow up question...
What would the formula look like if there was an additional hierarchy in the list?

well, without given a sample that also shows what you want, this is just a guess but I'd try... =UNIQUE(TOCOL(A2:C11,,FALSE))
Bigfish.. Help us to help you. Pictures of excel files are useless. You rely on someone being sufficiently generous with their time to recreate what you already have, right in front of you.
In future, please post an Excel file... not a pretty picture of one.

Yes, I used that formula, as it seemed the logical extension of the original 2 tier solution.
I have included an image which details
1) the actual data I am using
2) what happens when the formula is used ... =UNIQUE(TOCOL(U3:W20,,FALSE))
3) and the needed outcome (which I manually typed out
Cheers

There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook (yellow banner: HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK). Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.
A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.
It seems to me that the easiest thing to do is throw a filter on columns U through W then sort the data based on col U. Then apply the formula.
then remove the filter.
see attached, BTW I had the time and patience to recreate your sample but as mentioned, it is better to provide a sample workbook so others don't have to, AND it usually gets your query answered more timely and I as well as others here don't get paid for our time, the only thing we get is a bump to our reputations if you decide to.
I also added a numerical designation to col T which will allow you to add that to the sort list so you can sort by how you want if simply filtering U:W and sorting A:Z isn't what you want.
thanks for the solution ... worked well.
Also thanks for the advice re adding a worksheet instead of image. Yes, agree ...
thanks again.
