Default Advanced transpose/grouping question

Don't hesitated to say this is too much for a forum question....

I am attempting to place a series of values from a column into rows, but the
details of this task are much more than typical transpose. I have played
with formulas, MATCH, OFFSET, etc. and got tangled up. That still my be good
way to go.

Here bleow is DATA is in COL A and B. Output starts in COL C and continues
across as many columns as needed. When values repeat in A, transpose the
values from COL B for that repeated COL A value starting at COL C through
possibly 100 columns, i.e. COL A value could repeat 100 times. It is
important to note that in a grouping of repeaded rows (defined by repeating
value in COL A), the resulting transposed values from COL B repeat down for
each repeated row. This is why all the rows of data for the f's are the
same-- this is intentional. In other words, transpose all the values in COL
B for a group of repeating values in A, and transpose across the row
containing first value of COL A, the fill down identically for all COL A
group.
Why am I attempting this? It is to identify identical groupings of values,
e.g. somewhere else in the list there will be another group of rows, say 4
rows with "z" in COl A, and those four rows have the same values as found in
COL B, therefore one can say group f and group z are identical-- a list of
identical groups is the objective. There may be several identical
groupings, not just two. ALternatives are welcome. (In my soloution I expect
to concatenate the values in COL C... and sort on that concatenation, then
subtotal/count.)
