Combine several records into one
Greetings,
I have a database of magazine subscriptions in which each record represents a single subscription. There are multiple subscriptions to many of the magazines and I'd like to take a group of records like those below and combine them into one record. This new record could replace the first record, could be a new record on the existing sheet, could replace all the records on which it is based, or could be on a new sheet. I only need one method. Thanks for your attention. Tom Title Branch code AMERICAN GIRL /**/ AH AMERICAN GIRL /**/ AU AMERICAN GIRL /**/ CA AMERICAN GIRL /**/ CL AMERICAN GIRL /**/ CL AMERICAN GIRL /**/ EA AMERICAN GIRL /**/ KE AMERICAN GIRL /**/ LA AMERICAN GIRL /**/ MO AMERICAN GIRL /**/ RE AMERICAN GIRL /**/ SC AMERICAN GIRL /**/ SU AMERICAN GIRL /**/ WQ New record AMERICAN GIRL /**/ AH,AU,CA,CL..... |

Assuming your data is in columns A, B, and C, with headers in row 1........... In D2 put =A2&B2&C2 In D3 put =IF(A3=A2,D2&","&C3,A3&B3&C3), and copy down........... This will make the bottom entry for each magazine to have the result you want.........delete the rest... hth Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 wrote in message oups.com...

Chuck, thank you very much for your help. It's really quite
straightforward and, using your model, I see how to add another column which will identify the last record for a particular title. Thanks again. Tom |
