    Convert column B as multiple column titles and move data in column C into new columns?

    I have a excelsheet that looks like this:

    Column A | Column B | Column C
    Los Angeles | Fire Dept | 3
    Los Angeles | Health Services | 12
    New York | Fire Dept | 8
    New York | Health Services | 22
    New York | Internal Services | 100
    New York | Public Works | 7
    Chicago | Health Services | 15
    Chicago | Public Works | 56
    Chicago | Social Services | 4

    And I am trying to make it look like this:
    Fire Dept Health Services Internal Services Public Works Social Services
    Los Angeles 3 12
    New York 8 22 100 7
    Chicago 15 56 4

    Can this be done?? Please help! Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!

    Re: Convert column B as multiple column titles and move data in column C into new columns?

    Thank you.

    The city column works perfect, but there are lots of duplicate columns for department. For example, "Health Services" show up 3 times on the original list (Column B), but I would like only one new column for "Health Services", I don't need three. Any ideas? Thanks!
