Hi, I have quite a tricky problem.. (I've attached a sheet as an
example, I'll explain it further down)

I have a list of names in column a (a very large amount), there are
lots of duplicate names, and next to them in column b are the
categories associated with each name. So if a name is repeated 5 times
in column a, it will have 5 different categories.

I need to summarize it so that I only have 1 name per person, but all
of the categories associated with the person going along in each column
as per the sheet attached.

I've been trying to figure it out but can't do it (except manual paste
specialtranspose which would take me weeks!)

If anyone has any idea how I could possibly automate this I'd be very
grateful.

thanks very much for any suggestions.

regards.
