Default Concatenating all records in column b where column a=x

HI :

I have 3 columns of cells:

BUILDINGID INHABITANTS
123123 joe
123123 sam
123123 tim
333444 mary
333444 louise
333444 tom
222333 marsha

I would like to have a table that has each buildingid only once as a unique
record with a second field having a string of the concatenated inhabitants.
For instance:

buildingid inhabitants
123123 joe sam tim
333444 mary louise tom
222333 marsha

How can I create a function that if I give it a chosen buildingid, the name
of a range of building ids, and the name of a range of inhabitants, will
give me a single record with a concatenated string of all inhabitants that
are in records with the chosen building id?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Steve
