Default If function limitations help

I am created an advanced gradebook program for excel and was wondering if
anyone had an idea of a better way to accomplish the following
Column2 Column2
a 3
b 2
c 5
d 10
etc... with the output being in one row
a a a b b c c c c c d d d d d d d d d d
The idea is to have the teacher type the subject and how many times it
appears as a heading but after the 4th I have to many if functions nested. I
am using:
if b2=1,a2 for the first return and =IF(B2=2,A2,IF(B2=1,A3)) for the
second, =IF(B2=3,A2,IF(B2=2,A3,IF(AND(B2=1,B3=2),A3,A4)) ) for the third etc
but I cannot go as far as I want to with this. If anyone has an idea please
let me know. Thanks
