    Re--organizing Data from Cell Range: List all occurences under one category label

    I will preface my question below by indicating that I think this question has been asked in some form or fashion many times in various forums but I can't seem to find the right answer. I am happy to do with formulas and I am happy to try VBA (of which I have a rudimentary knowledge)

    My question is simple enough (I think)

    I have data like the following

    Abreu, Tony 2B SF Free Agent
    Adams, Matt 1B STL Free Agent
    Adams, Mike RP PHI Amelie
    Affeldt, Jeremy RP SF Free Agent
    Alonso, Yonder 1B SD Pourin Raines
    Alvarez, Henderson SP MIA GMs
    Alvarez, Pedro 3B PIT Guns
    Amarista, Alexi 2B SD Free Agent


    (It is a list of players with their fantasy team status)

    I simply want to extra the data - and have a column for each status

    For example:
    Free Agent: Abreu, Adams, Affeldt, Amarista (Each listed in separate rows with no zeros or blanks-preferably going vertically)
    Amelie: Adams
    Pourin Raines: Alonso
    Guns: Alvarez


    By using pivot tables, I got something that looked like this (using different underlying data from above) ....which is close....but I want the team name to appear only once with all players listed underneath...this will in turn feed a drop down list

    Amelie Mujica, Edward RP STL
    Amelie Olivo, Miguel C MIA
    Amelie Pollock, A.J. CF ARI
    Amelie Ramirez, Aramis 3B MIL
    Amelie Russell, James RP CHC
    Amelie Sandoval, Pablo 3B SF
    Amelie Segura, Jean SS MIL
    Amelie Street, Huston RP SD
    Amelie Uggla, Dan 2B ATL
    Amelie Westbrook, Jake SP STL
    Amelie Young, Michael 1B PHI
    Barnestormers Boggs, Mitchell RP STL
    Barnestormers Brothers, Rex RP COL
    Barnestormers Fernandez, Jose SP MIA
    Barnestormers Francisco, Juan 3B ATL
    Barnestormers Gonzalez, Alex SS MIL

    I am at my wit's end - this should be relatively easy I would think but not for a simpleton like me! I tried dget function put it gives blanks and I want to eliminate blaks

    I appreciate any help

    Thanks
    Dave
