In the above sheet, I have character names from the scene. I need to prepare Character-wise scene numbers for my project. So, by making characters unique I need to create a list of scene numbers.

EXPECTED OUTPUT : (Note: Below output is Just to understand the requirement only but not precisely like this)

I need to get all the scene numbers list for the character.

MICHAEL - E01 SC 01, E01 SC 02, E01 SC 03, E01 SC 05, E02 SC 02, E02 SC 04, E02 SC 06, E02 SC 10
JACK - E01 SC 01, E01 SC 03, E01 SC 05, E02 SC 05, E02 SC 09
ELIZABETH - E01 SC 01, E01 SC 04, E02 SC 01
JOHN - E01 SC 02, E02 SC 01, E02 SC 04, E02 SC 09
SAMANTHA - E01 SC 03, E01 SC 04, E02 SC 02, E02 SC 08
LOGAN - E01 SC 03, E01 SC 04, E02 SC 03, E02 SC 07
EVAN - E02 SC 01
ANGEL - E02 SC 03, E02 SC 07

If there is any way to achieve this, Please help me.

Thanks in advance!

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest

What version of Excel are you using?

I suggest that you update your Account details (click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

Thanks for the prompt response, I will check this code on my data and let me get back to you. Hope this won't affect on large size of the data as I have almost 3000 rows in my worksheet..

If you would prefer a macro
VBA Code: 
Sub signup()
   Dim Cl As Range
   Dim Dic As Object
   
   Set Dic = CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
   With Sheets("Master")
      For Each Cl In .Range("B2", .Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
         If Not Dic.Exists(Cl.Value) Then
            Dic.Add Cl.Value, Cl.Offset(, -1).Value
         Else
            Dic(Cl.Value) = Dic(Cl.Value) & ", " & Cl.Offset(, -1).Value
         End If
      Next Cl
      .Range("D2").Resize(Dic.Count, 2).Value = Application.Transpose(Array(Dic.keys, Dic.items))
   End With
End Sub
Change sheet name to suit.

Power Query aka Get&Transform
  • Data tab
  • Get data
  • find From Other Sources - Blank Query and run it
  • Open Advanced Editor
  • replace code there with copied from the post
  • Done
  • Close&Load
remember that source table name should be the same as in the code (here is Table1)
Power Query is case sensitive
