Given the following

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]Andy[/TD]
[TD]Bob[/TD]
[TD]Jeff[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Blue[/TD]
[TD]x[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Black[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]x[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Purple[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]x[/TD]

[TR]
[TD]Green[/TD]
[TD]x[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]

[TR]
[TD]Yellow[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]x[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Red[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]x[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Brown[/TD]
[TD]x[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Orange[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]x[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

How can I get the output to be (or can I):

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Andy[/TD]
[TD]Bob[/TD]
[TD]Jeff[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Blue[/TD]
[TD]Black[/TD]
[TD]Purple[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Green[/TD]
[TD]Yellow[/TD]
[TD]Red[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Brown[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]Orange[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I am struggling to even figure out what to call this for research on the net... UNknown number of columns/rows...

Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
If you are interested in a VBA solution then,

Assuming the names start from B1, and colors start from A2
And you are looking at the data on "Sheet3" and outputting the summary on "Sheet4", this is what the code looks like:
Code:
Sub CollapseMatrix()
    lr = Worksheets("Sheet3").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    lc = Worksheets("Sheet3").Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
    ColX = 2
    ColY = 1
    RowX = 1
    RowY = 1
    For i = ColX To lc
        For j = RowX To lr
            If j = 1 Then 'Transfer the name
                Worksheets("Sheet4").Cells(RowY, ColY).Value = Worksheets("Sheet3").Cells(j, i).Value
                RowY = RowY + 1
            ElseIf Worksheets("Sheet3").Cells(j, i).Value = "x" Then 'Transfer Colors
                Worksheets("Sheet4").Cells(RowY, ColY).Value = Worksheets("Sheet3").Range("A" & j).Value
                RowY = RowY + 1
            End If
        Next j
        RowY = 1
        ColY = ColY + 1
    Next i
End Sub
