    How to merge duplicates while concatenating unique data from 3 columns

    I need to delete all duplicate values in A but concatenate all unique values for B and C.

    For example:
    A/ B/ C
    1 A a
    2 R a
    3 C a
    4 T a
    3 Y b
    4 E b
    5 A b
    2 U c
    3 E c
    7 Q c

    Needs to be:

    A/ B/ C
    1 A a
    2 R a;c
    3 C;Y a;b;c
    4 T;E a;b
    5 A b
    7 Q c

    Thanks in advance

    Hi mdhillyer, it would be in your best interest to upload a workbook with non-sensitive/personal data. Provide a before and after scenario as well. If you do this I'm sure your problem will be solved (hopefully) quickly.
