This quick n easy formulas set-up will deliver the functionality sought

Assume source data as posted in cols A to C, from row2 down
Assume input (for col A's item) will be in I2, eg: Meal
In J2: =IF($I$2="","",IF(A2=$I$2,ROW(),""))
Leave J1 empty

In K2:
=IF(ROWS($1:1)COUNT($J:$J),"",INDEX(A:A,SMALL($J: $J,ROWS($1:1))))
Copy K2 to M2. Select J2:M2, copy down to cover the max expected extent of
source data in col A, eg down to M200? Minimize col J. Format col L as date,
M as currency. There you go, cols K to M will return exactly what you seek,
all lines neatly packed at the top dependent on the input in I2.

Pl mark it by pressing the YES button below
