Hi,

I am new to VBA and have been trying to right some code that will automate the formatting of some semi-structured data. The big issue I have is with de-duplication. I am trying de duplicate data based on one column and merge additional columns onto one row. For example (simplified data)


-- removed inline image ---


Becomes


-- removed inline image ---


I know I am probably going to have to assign values to the blanks in column A to stop blanks being seen as duplicates. The main problem I have with any code to date is that when the first row in column B, C or D is blank, no data is returned. For example in the above, "Name 1" would show as Name1, X, Blank, Blank.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.
