There is two function that is missing in excel 2013, which is Unique and Filter.
In this picture below here, the Resulting Item utilizes a "Unique" function from google, and Resulting Label utilizes a join and filter function =JOIN(", ",FILTER(C:C,A:A=E2)).
How do i perform this in excel 2013 for this two cells?

Your profile says 2003 and your post 2013 - which is correct, please?

From the documentation I have seen, UNIQUE() and FILTER() or currently only available to certain "office insiders" who have the correct O365 subscription. From the current help file for the FILTER() function (https://support.office.com/en-us/art...c-4877ad80c759 ):These functions are never going to be available to Excel 2013. At this time, I believe Google Sheets is the only readily available spreadsheet that makes these two functions generally accessible to all users.Note: September 24, 2018: The FILTER function is one of several beta features, and currently only available to a portion of Office Insiders at this time. We'll continue to optimize these features over the next several months. When they're ready, we'll release them to all Office Insiders, and Office 365 subscribers.

The OP is, I believe, asking for an Excel workaround to do these things.
sorry, yes. I was using 2003, but now i have 2013. Let me update it
So, is there anyway i can make it work? possibly some macro / vba scripting?
This is not the kind of programming I do. What do you need this to do exactly?
If I were to do something like this (it would be a one time or very rare thing for me), I would probably just use either of Excel's built in filtering tools for this. Autofilter or advanced filter would allow me to filter the list to get the desired records, then copy them into my destination. Can you tolerate a manual operation, or must it be automated?
If I were to try to automate something like this, I might start with the sample code in the Range object help file: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/off....Range(object) This code uses the Range.AdvancedFilter method to extract the unique values from a list. If you will provide a suitable criteria range, I'm sure the code could be modified to automate filtering by more criteria than just unique records. Would something like that satisfy your need for automation?

see Jindon's solution for example (of course here as a normal macro not a function, but that might be better or worse)

UDF
Use in cell like
=FilterUniq(Sheet1!$A$1:$C$7,1,ROW(A1),COLUMN(A1),2,3)
then copy right/down
Where;
Sheet1!$A$1:$D$7 is a source range incl headings
1 is a unique key col
2 is a column for Sum
3 is a column to be joined
You can use Array when any of above 3 arguments consists of multiple columns
e.g
=FilterUniq(Sheet1!$A$1:$D$7,1,ROW(A1),COLUMN(A1),{2,4},3)
ROW(A1),COLUMN(A1) MUST not be changed in the first cell, so that it increments as you copy.
