The second layout would work where you showed:

Bob.................................Tim
Reconcile Cash................Do Sales Report
Create presentation..........Prepare financial statement
Hire staff person

Would one of these layouts be ok...

Bob...Reconcile Cash...Create presentation...Hire staff person
Tim...Do Sales Report...Prepare financial statement.

Or...

Bob.................................Tim
Reconcile Cash................Do Sales Report
Create presentation..........Prepare financial statement
Hire staff person

I have a spreadsheet that looks like the following. Tab 1. Col A=Name. Col
B
= Task.

A B
Bob Reconcile Cash
Tim Do Sales Report
Bob Create presentation
Tim Prepare financial statements
Bob Hire staff person

Now on tab two, I want to create another list that pulls all the tasks
together by person. For example, Tab 2 would look like this:
Bob Reconcile Cash
Bob Create presentation
Bob Hire staff person
Tim Do Sales Report
Tim Prepare financial statement.

I realize I can just sort this list by name but I don't want Tab 2 to work
like that. I'm frequently shuffling tasks between people so I want Tab 2
to
automatically update as I'm moving tasks around between people. I want to
have some form of lookup formula in Tab 2 that says "get the first task
for
Bob and return it," and then "get the second task for Bob and return it."
