    Complicated formatting, help!

    I've worked myself into a corner and could really use help with 2
    separate problems - this will probably require programming that is
    beyond my skills - but expert advise would be appreciated to determine
    how I should approach this:

    I have a master spreadsheet used both as a data entry sheet and also
    for tracking documents associated collected for each individual (per
    row).

    I have a worksheet with names and addresses typed in simple rows and
    columns (simplified):

    Site # Name Role Facililty Review Board
    101 Joe Brown PI <name&address> <name&address>
    101 Jane Blue CO <left empty> <left empty>
    101 Jack Smith SUB <left empty> <left empty>
    102 Bob Black PI <name&address> <name&address>

    PROBLEM #1

    I have another worksheet that pulls the information into a formatted
    report that only lists the site # and Review Board information.

    It works great as long as there is a single row of information per site
    #, but when I add names with the CO role, i end up with

    Site # Review Board
    101 <Review Board Name and address>
    101 BLANK
    101 BLANK
    102 <Review Board Name and address>

    I want to NOT display those blank lines IF they are duplicate site
    numbers AND IF the role is NOT PI. (if the role is PI, I need the line
    displayed with a blank cell if empty).

    I will never know how many CO or Subs will be listed per site, if any.

    PROBLEM #2 (more complicated I think!)

    I have another worksheet that pulls information from the same master
    sheet.

    This report looks like this right now:

    Site # Name Role Facililty
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    101 Joe Brown PI <name&address>
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    101 Jane Blue CO <left empty>
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    101 Jack Smith SUB <left empty>
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    102 Bob Black PI <name&address>
    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    What I need it to display is:

    Site # Name Role Facililty
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    101 Joe Brown PI <name&address>
    <blank> Jane Blue CO <blank>
    <blank> Jack Smith SUB <blank>
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    102 Bob Black PI <name&address>
    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    I require the site number to be printed only once, and not for every
    individual. And you can see, I need a line displayed between sites
    instead of btween every individual.

    There will ALWAYS be a PI listed. Sometimes there are COs and SUBs,
    but again, there is no way to determine if or how many there will be
    for any given site.

    I may be way in over my head here - I'd appreciate any feedback!

    Thanks in advance for bearing with me.

    So whats the deal?

    Is there something wrong with what I am asking? Should I ask somewhere
    else or is it just too complicated or maybe I *can't* do this?
