reformatting a table
 

I have a spreadsheet with songtitles associated to a CD catlaogue numbe
that is laid out like this:

To get it into a format to impert it into a database, I need to make i
look like this:

Where the song title is horizontally aligned with each catalogu
number.

But I just can't suss the macro to do it.

My head is sore from banging it on the screen. Any ideas

Here is one way

Sub CDCollection()
Dim cLastRow As Long
Dim rng As Range
Dim i As Long

Columns("A:A").Cut
Range("C1").Insert Shift:=xlToRight
cLastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).row
For i = cLastRow To 2 Step -1
If Cells(i, "A").Value = Cells(i - 1, "A").Value Then
Cells(i, "A").Offset(0, 1).Resize(1, 20).Copy _
Destination:=Cells(i - 1, "C")
If rng Is Nothing Then
Set rng = Cells(i, "A")
Else
Set rng = Union(rng, Cells(i, "A"))
End If
End If
Next i

If Not rng Is Nothing Then
rng.EntireRow.Delete
End If
Range("A1").Select

End Sub

Bob

Many thanks for that.

It worked a treat and has saved me from inflicting more pain on m
already severely bruised head:
