    Re-organising a table of data ?

    I have a table of data that I need to re-organise. It seems simple in theory but trying to convert the concept has been a big struggle! I have been trying pivot-tables, vlookups, matches, lookups, but without getting even close!

    I would like the final result to summarise the data into just one row per RFI number eg
    RFI-000008 Re: Dimension Check - Turner 2/5/07 - Davidson 3/5/07 - Marina 3/5/07 - Aru 4/5/07 - Aru 8/5/07
    RFI-000007 etc etc

    This is the core data ...

    RFI*SUBJECT*Date*ORG
    RFI-000008*Re:Dimension Check*2/5/2007*Turner
    RFI-000008*Re:Dimension Check*3/5/2007*Davidson

    Would be awesome if anyone can provide a few leads to try and help me get started.

    Hi,

    Presuming the "core data" is in one column;

    select the column

    Go to Data > Text to Columns > delimited > OK > select other * > Next > Finish
    Rule 1: Never merge cells
    Rule 2: See rule 1

    It is in columns ... but I need to work out how to translate & group it into the above format.
