    Remove duplicates + concatenate data

    1st time posting so sorry if not clear!

    I have data structured as follows:

    ID1 John Smith Skill1
    ID1 John Smith Skill2
    ID1 John Smith Skill3
    ID2 Elvis Presley Skill3
    ID2 Elvis Presley Skill4
    ID3 Susan Boyle Skill1
    ID3 Susan Boyle Skill6

    And would like to have
    ID1 John Smith Skill1; Skill2; Skill3
    D2 Elvis Presley Skill3; Skill4
    ID3 Susan Boyle Skill1; Skill6

    How do I go about this? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

    Re: Remove duplicates + concatenate data

    Your profile shows that you use Office 365. I think TEXTJOIN function should work for you
    To get unique ID list
    Enter in D2 and pull formula across to E2 and copy down
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    then use this array formula:
    Enter in F2 and copy down
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    **Array formula must be entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter key combination.

    Re: Remove duplicates + concatenate data

    You can get similar results with a pivot table. It probably depends on how you want to look at the data.

    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.
