I need to concatenate rows of a large excel file. This type of data I
recieve every week and need help finding a macro that would fix my
files. I am a baby when it comes programming ;)

What I have:
Name Description
a r
a s
b t
b u
c v
c w

What I need:
Name Description
a r, s
b t, u
c v, w

I would really appreciate any help,
DD

If your data is already sorted by column A:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim LastRow As Long
Dim FirstRow As Long
Dim iRow As Long
Dim wks As Worksheet

Set wks = Worksheets("sheet1")

With wks
FirstRow = 2 'headers in row 1??
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row

For iRow = LastRow To FirstRow + 1 Step -1
If .Cells(iRow, "A").Value = .Cells(iRow - 1, "A").Value Then
.Cells(iRow - 1, "B").Value _
= .Cells(iRow - 1, "B").Value & ", " & .Cells(iRow, "B").Value
.Rows(iRow).Delete
End If
Next iRow
End With

End Sub
