I'm sorry, I am not very sharp with Excel. I tried watching vids on magic tricks #690 and #759 but didn't quite get to what I wanted to do. Can someone help me figure out a formula to accomplish task?
I am tracking competition scores over several weeks for a list of teams. The team list grows each week/competition with some unique teams added and numerous repeat teams. Is there a formula to take the list of current teams/scores and condense it each week with another list of teams/scores - remove duplicate team names, sort alphabetically, and add the new score to the list?

Example:
Week 1
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Team[/TD]
[TD]Score[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Alpha[/TD]
[TD]20[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Beta[/TD]
[TD]25[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Charlie[/TD]
[TD]15[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Week 2
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Team
[/TD]
[TD]Score
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Alpha[/TD]
[TD]10[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Golf[/TD]
[TD]30[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Delta[/TD]
[TD]15[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Beta[/TD]
[TD]15[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Charlie[/TD]
[TD]25[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Condensed (goal)
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Team
[/TD]
[TD]Score 1
[/TD]
[TD]Score 2
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Alpha[/TD]
[TD]20[/TD]
[TD]10[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Beta[/TD]
[TD]25[/TD]
[TD]15[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Charlie[/TD]
[TD]15[/TD]
[TD]25[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Delta[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]15[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Golf[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]30[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Thanks!

Wow, this is incredible. For the past two seasons I've been manually condensing score lists and deleting duplicate teams. It's about a 3 hour process after every contest. Only question I have is if there is a way for a team to get a blank or 0 value for a score if they didn't participate that week? In the workbook, their scores automatically slide over to the next available score count. For example team A gets a score in week 1 and week 3, can it show "score 1", (blank or zero), then "score 3"?

You are awesome Leith!!! Thanks for your help on this.
