    Combining multiple records (based on name/co)

    I am completely new to running macros/VBA functions in Excel. But realize that I HAVE to use one to solve my issue. After much searching on this forum, I have not found the solution to my problem.

    I have a compiled list of members that contains over 9000 records each with various amounts of contact information (title, street, city, phone, email, etc.) and also a list of what region, membership year, and conference they attended. I need to combine all duplicates of a person (first and last) and company into just one record with ALL information into one row/record.

    Here's an example of the data (not shown: information goes until Column AZ):
    Attachment 287361

    I realize that in my example that a function will not help merge Tony and Anthony, but it will definitely get me closer if the instances are combined to just two records.

    Please help!
    Thank you,
    jean

    Hi, your attachment didn't work I don't think, it would also be better to upload a workbook rather than a screenshot!

    Assuming your data is always sorted by surname, maybe you can do something like this:
