Default I'm Lost... Bin? Delineate different processes with time samples

Worked like a charm! It is going to take me a while to figure it out HOW it
works, but that is left to my 'personal time'. BTW, good luck on your
Laboratory program, you certainly got our curiosity up...

Good morning! This is similar to a post I made in the 'Excel Worksheet
Function' section. It seems this query could be put in a few different
sections, and your thoughts would be Very helpful...

I am having a problem trying to analyze the following data.

I will routinely sample the elapsed time of many different processes. I am
provided with a spreadsheet with the process name in 'column A', and the
duration in 'column B' (between 2 and 5k occurances). I would like to
automate the analysis (for others to also use) and set-up a table delineating
each occurance-time by named process. From this I'd like to use a
Bin/Histrogram to summarize this data (for graphs and to report certain
percentiles).

Unfortunately, I can't figure how to seperate the occurance by process so
that I can use the Analytic tools for Histogram. Does anyone have any
suggestions? THANKS! -Bill

The data looks like this:

Duration/
Hour Process
0.2 C
0.1 A
1.3 V
5 G
6.2 R
5.3 S
0.3 G
0.4 A
0.9 A
0.4 C
0.2 B
0.6 F
0.2 B
0.3 B
0.1 B

What I'd like it to look like is:

Process: A B C F V G R S
Times: 0.1 0.2 0.2 0.6 1.3 5 6.2 5.3
0.4 0.2 0.4 0.3
0.9 0.3
0.1
Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks!
