    Pull out unique values based on filters/relationships

    I have a table like this:

    Category 1 Category 1 Topic 1
    Category 1 Category 1 Topic 1
    Category 1 Category 1 Topic 2
    Category 1 Category 1 Topic 2
    Category 2 Category 2 Topic 1
    Category 2 Category 2 Topic 2
    Category 3 Category 3 Topic 1
    Category 3 Category 3 Topic 2
    Category 3 Category 3 Topic 3

    What I'd like is a list like this:

    Category 1
    Category 1 Topic 1
    Category 1 Topic 2
    Category 2
    Category 2 Topic 1
    Category 2 Topic 2
    Category 3
    Category 3 Topic 1
    Category 3 Topic 2
    Category 3 Topic 3

    I'm trying to pull each Category once out into 1 column, and each of it's Topics once in another column.

    Your desired solution looks like a Pivot Table solution to me.
