Default Need a Function for Grouping

I have a question. I am new to Excel and I have been challenged with a
task
of grouping students that need the same course in Excel 2007 by my
employer.
Example: Billy needs Math, Science, and English; Jill needs Math and
English;
Eric needs only Science; Jane needs Math, Science, and English; Adam
needs
Math and English. How would I group 50+ students that need the same
course,
and what type of formula do I use? I need them to group like: Group A,
Group
B, Group C, etc...


Hi, a possible solution would be to use a Pivot Table grouping students
by course.
I can't guide you through it here not being proficient enough in 2007
and using 2003 for the moment.
