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!

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.

The thread is not closed if you "Mark as solution" it just shows that you got something that did what you needed.
