    How do you put the all the possible locations in one cell? this is hard

    Hi All ive tried to find a solution for this but i dont think anywone can help on this one.

    Well, i have 3 colums A is (SKU) Colum B is ( ISBN) and colum C is ( Quantity ) i have 30,000 cells and my SKU is also used as my location for exaple my SKU is ( SHELF-1-01 , SHELF-2-02........... and so on) so because all my ISBN are dublicates i am using the formula to count B Colum in Colum C ( Quantity) and then i use the Remove dublicates. So far so good.


    This is what i have now
    A(SKU) B (ISBN) C(Quant)
    SHELF-4-98 9781905151789 1
    SHELF-1-07 9781905151789 1
    SHELF-1-04 9781905151789 1
    SHELF-7-01 9781905151789 1



    Now i want each unique value that is left in colum B to tell me in how many locations it is so for example i want it to tell me

    A(SKU) B (ISBN) C(Quant)
    SHELF-4-98,SHELF-1-07,SHELF-1-04, 9781905151789 4




    Thats the result i want to see , i hope my examples where clear, ive been looking for a solution for this for the past 2 years but cant find anything there is a way to remove duplicates and count the cell but for the location to scan and find and put them in one cell is hard.


    Thanks for your time
    Paul

    Hello
    Please have a look at this, firs found all locations of each COL E:AS, then joined them together in Col A.
    Cell stays blank if nothing found.
    ROW 1 is the #th time it is in the list.
    Hope this is what you are aftre.
    Regards
    Peter

    Hi Paul,

    Take a look at Pivot Tables in the attached. Does it get close to what you need?
