Hello everyone, I may be asking too much.

I have a vertical table of data that needs to be redistributed horizontally to prep for a data set that Photoshop can read. Transpose isn't working the way I expected it would.

My data shows the attendees of who participated in certain events and as a result, earned credit hours.
The end product will organize the vertical data to a new sheet in a horizontal line, keeping the personal data unique, and the event/hours details populating to cells to the right incrementally, as needed.
So, If person_01 has attended (5) events, the data on those in the vertical sheet will need to display horizontal, without repeating the attendee name and company data.
Right now, I know I can do this manually by using a couple workarounds, but there are 1500 people and I feel there is a sorting formula solution I can use, but I just cant get my head around it.

I have (2) mini sheets showing a sample of the start product, and the desired end product.
Thanks for looking at this with me.

Thank you both for these answers. I wish I could mark them both correct, but it will let me only choose one.
I was having a hard time getting my head around how to get the sessions to organize. I've never used the (=LET) formula before. I really appreciate the help. It not only helped me with my immediate issue, but I can think of a few times I could have used this in the past. It really helps make me a better user.

thanks again!

Hi Fluff, I have a question about the =LET formula you have here. I have to sort this by date, right now its sorted by session number. I have made an alteration to it though, I had to include the session hour in the output.
My updated formula is:
=LET(Fltr,FILTER(Table378[[Date]:[SesName]],Table378[Attendee_Name]=B2),Rws,ROWS(Fltr)*4,Ary,INDEX(Fltr,SEQUENCE(Rws),{1,2,3,4}),INDEX(Ary,INT(SEQUENCE(,Rws,,1/4)),MOD(SEQUENCE(,Rws,4),4)+1))

This seems to include the hour column and display the other data successfully, but I haven't figured out how to sort the out per user by date attended.
Any suggestions?

Nevermind! lol, I just had to sort the source table... Sorry and thanks again!!

Glad you sorted it, but as you are now returning all 4 columns you can use
Excel Formula: 
=LET(Fltr,SORT(FILTER(Table378[[Date]:[SesName]],Table378[Attendee_Name]=H2)),Rws,ROWS(Fltr)*4,INDEX(Fltr,INT(SEQUENCE(,Rws,,1/4)),MOD(SEQUENCE(,Rws,4),4)+1))
which will also sort by date.
