Seasons greetings.
I have a table in excel where column A consists of dates in unsorted manner. Same dates may appear several times in the column. Column B comprises of text values. I would like to combine (concatenate), the values in Column B with a comma separator, where date in Column A is identical. As for example, for all date entries of 1/10/2018, if there are 4 entries altogether (say) in A1, A2, A3 and A4, I am looking to combine the corresponding texts in B1, B2, B3 and B4 in Column E.
I have already extracted the unique date values in Column D and looking for a formula in Column E which will combine the text values in B1:B4 based on the unique date values extracted in Column D.
I was trying to use the formula CONCATENATEIF(A:A,D1,B:B,",") but soon realized that this is not a standalone excel formula and should be used with a UDF to make it work.
I am neither able to use a UDF or a helper column and soI was wondering whether there could be a solution to this by using a standard excel formula which can be copied down Column E to accomplish the task.
I shall be most thankful for any insight. Thanks and Regards
