    Convert a column as one column + multiple column titles ... please read for detail

    I had my original thread here that marked as SOLVED:
    http://www.excelforum.com/excel-new-...w-columns.html

    I am tasked to convert something a little more complicated than the one in the original thread but I don't know how to change the formulae to make it work.

    I will need to convert from this:

    Column A | Column B | Column C
    Los Angeles | GROUP1_Fire Dept | 3
    Los Angeles | GROUP2_Health Services | 12
    New York | GROUP1_Fire Dept | 8
    New York | GROUP1_Health Services | 22
    New York | GROUP3_Internal Services | 100
    New York | GROUP5_Public Works | 7
    Chicago | GROUP1_Health Services | 15
    Chicago | GROUP2_Public Works | 56
    Chicago | GROUP4_Social Services | 4

    To this:
    Fire Dept Health Services Internal Services Public Works Social Services
    Los Angeles GROUP1 3
    Los Angeles GROUP2 12
    New York GROUP1 8 22
    New York GROUP3 100
    New York GROUP5 7
    Chicago GROUP1 15
    Chicago GROUP2 56
    Chicago GROUP4 4

    Can this be done?? I know how to split column B into two columns, but I don’t know how to get the numbers fall into the correct cells. Please help! Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!
