Have data in 2 columns (A and B). I want to return in column C all the
values of column B for that particular contact in column A. If more than one
value is entered, then the remainder of cells in column C for that contact is
remain blank

What formula can be used to do this, as I have 20000 records, and doing it
manually may take some time

Column A Column B Column C
HAYES 47 47
LESTER 47 47
SMITH 47 47
TIFFANY 47 47
JACKSON 47 47
RICKMAN 47 47, 82

Try this macro:

Sub Summarise()

Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim irow As Long, orow As Long
Dim Lastrow As Long
Dim col As Integer

Set ws1 = Worksheets("Sheet1")

col = 1 '<=== column for lastrow calculation

With ws1

Lastrow = .Cells(Rows.Count, col).End(xlUp).Row
irow = 2
Set rnga = Range("A2:A" & Lastrow)
Do
n = Application.CountIf(rnga, .Cells(irow, "A"))
orow = irow
StrB = ""
For i = 1 To n
StrB = StrB & .Cells(irow, "B") & ","
irow = irow + 1
Next i
StrB = Left(StrB, Len(StrB) - 1)
.Cells(orow, "C") = StrB
Loop Until irow = Lastrow

End With

End Sub

Many thanks. Is this possible to do as a formula as well
