Grouping data values in one column based on another column (picture included to explain)

[ant665321]

Hello,

I have not phrased the title well, but I am trying to work out if there is a way in Excel to group/merge multiple cells from one column into a single cell linked to the entry in another column.

For example I have a sheet with data as in columns A and B, and I am trying to find a way to convert it to look like Columns E and F

Thank you in advance.

If you aren't sure, in Excel go to File | Account and report what it says below the MS logo at the top of that page. If your product is for Mac, please also state this.

The three most recent Excel products are Excel 2019, Excel 2021 and MS365 - if you are using MS365, please give this name along with the version number in your profile (e.g. MS365 Version 2306). This is in the About Excel section further down the Account page.

Thanks.

If you have 365, then here's a single formula solution:

=LET(u,UNIQUE(A2:A8),HSTACK(u,BYROW(u,LAMBDA(r,TEXTJOIN(CHAR(10),,FILTER(B2:B8,A2:A8=r))))))
