How about something like:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim FirstRow As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim iRow As Long
Dim oCol As Long
Dim TopRow As Long
Dim wks As Worksheet

Set wks = Worksheets("sheet1")

With wks
'get rid of empty column B cells
On Error Resume Next
.Range("b:b").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks) .EntireRow.Delete
On Error GoTo 0

FirstRow = 1
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
TopRow = FirstRow
oCol = 2
For iRow = FirstRow To LastRow
If TopRow = iRow Then
'do nothing
Else
If LCase(.Cells(TopRow, "A").Value) _
= LCase(.Cells(iRow, "A").Value) Then
oCol = oCol + 1
.Cells(TopRow, oCol).Value = .Cells(iRow, "B").Value
.Cells(iRow, "B").ClearContents
Else
oCol = 2
TopRow = iRow
End If
End If
Next iRow

On Error Resume Next
.Range("b:b").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks) .EntireRow.Delete
On Error GoTo 0
End With
End Sub

I am so new to excel and trying to learn vba on my own. I am very
experienced in lotus macros except vba is a whole new beast to me. I
know what I want to do, and have pieces already completed. This is the
next piece of the puzzle and I would appreciate anyone that can show me
the coding so I can learn from it.

Basically what I have left at this point is two columns of information.
The first column of information is relevant to a staff member. For
each staff member I require ONE line in an excel spreadsheet. The
information in column B must take up a cell to the right leaving only
ONE instance of the name in column A.

with the following used as an example, this is what is required after
the macro is run:

ADAMSCR CRAIG ADAMS ARB Internet_Access MRA_RO
ADMIN28 VAL_Read_Only
BENDD028 DARRYL BENDER VAL_Read_Only
BRAZEARO ROBERT BRAZEAU ARB COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL

Can anyone help??? Please?? :(

thank you... lakey
