Hello,

I'm trying to write a Macro to match and display all the states and cities covered by a sales rep in 2 cells and remove any duplicate information at the same time.

In my spread sheet terms:
If the name in worksheet1 Cell A1, match the name in worksheet2 column C, then:

display the State Name from worksheet2 Column B in Worksheet1 Cell A2 removing duplicate state names,

and display the city name from worksheet2 Column A in Worksheet2 in Worksheet1 Cell B2 removing any duplicate city names and separating each city name by a comma and space.

So it would look like:
A1 = Name of Rep
A2 = Texas B2 = Dallas, Fort Worth, Lubbock, Odessa, Houston

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello, try this code:
Code:
Sub MJA001()
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim ws2 As Worksheet
Dim Name As String
Dim lrow1 As Long
Dim lrow2 As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim Counter As Long
Dim Cities As String

Set ws1 = Sheets("Sheet1")
Set ws2 = Sheets("Sheet2")

lrow1 = 1
lrow2 = ws2.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Name = ws1.Cells(1, 1)

For i = 2 To lrow2
    If ws2.Cells(i, 3) = Name Then
        ws1.Cells(lrow1, 2) = ws2.Cells(i, 1)
        lrow1 = lrow1 + 1
    End If
Next i

ws1.Range("B:B").RemoveDuplicates 1, xlNo

lrow1 = ws1.Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row

For i = 1 To lrow1
    Counter = 3
    For j = 2 To lrow2
        If ws2.Cells(j, 3) = Name And ws2.Cells(j, 1) = ws1.Cells(i, 2) Then
            ws1.Cells(i, Counter) = ws2.Cells(j, 2)
            Counter = Counter + 1
        End If
    Next j

    For j = 3 To ws1.Cells(i, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
        Cities = Cities & ", " & ws1.Cells(i, j)
        ws1.Cells(i, j).ClearContents
    Next j
    
    ws1.Cells(i, 3) = Mid(Cities, 3, 10000)
    Cities = ""
Next i
        
End Sub

This assumes you have headers in sheet 2: State, City, Name, and no headers in sheet1. It also assumes your sheets are names "Sheet1" and "Sheet2", you can change this in the code.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I just realized I forgot to remove duplicate cities. Use this code instead:
Code:
Sub MJA001()
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim ws2 As Worksheet
Dim Name As String
Dim lrow1 As Long
Dim lrow2 As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim Counter As Long
Dim Cities As String

Set ws1 = Sheets("Sheet1")
Set ws2 = Sheets("Sheet2")

lrow1 = 1
lrow2 = ws2.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Name = ws1.Cells(1, 1)

For i = 2 To lrow2
    If ws2.Cells(i, 3) = Name Then
        ws1.Cells(lrow1, 2) = ws2.Cells(i, 1)
        lrow1 = lrow1 + 1
    End If
Next i

ws1.Range("B:B").RemoveDuplicates 1, xlNo

lrow1 = ws1.Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row

For i = 1 To lrow1
    Counter = 3
    For j = 2 To lrow2
        If ws2.Cells(j, 3) = Name And ws2.Cells(j, 1) = ws1.Cells(i, 2) Then
            ws1.Cells(i, Counter) = ws2.Cells(j, 2)
            Counter = Counter + 1
        End If
    Next j

    For j = 3 To ws1.Cells(i, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
        If InStr(Cities, ws1.Cells(i, j)) = 0 Then
            Cities = Cities & ", " & ws1.Cells(i, j)
        End If
        ws1.Cells(i, j).ClearContents
    Next j
    
    ws1.Cells(i, 3) = Mid(Cities, 3, 10000)
    Cities = ""
Next i
        
End Sub

It works, but not how I was hoping. Right now each city is populating a single cell in column B and the corresponding state is populated next to it in column C. I would like to have the all of the states populated in cell A2 and all the cities in cell B2, see table below.

How about
Code:
Sub GetRepData()

   Dim Qty As Long
   Dim Cnt As Long
   Dim Fnd As Range
   Dim RepName As String
   Dim City As String
   Dim State As String
   
   RepName = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
   With Sheets("Sheet2")
      Set Fnd = .Range("C1")
      Qty = WorksheetFunction.CountIf(.Columns(3), RepName)
      For Cnt = 1 To Qty
         Set Fnd = .Columns(3).Find(RepName, Fnd, , xlWhole, , , False, , False)
         If InStr(1, State, Fnd.Offset(, -1).Value, vbTextCompare) = 0 Then State = State & Fnd.Offset(, -1).Value & ","
         If InStr(1, City, Fnd.Offset(, -2).Value, vbTextCompare) = 0 Then City = City & Fnd.Offset(, -2).Value & ","
      Next Cnt
   End With
   With Sheets("Sheet1")
      .Range("A2") = Left(State, Len(State) - 1)
      .Range("B2") = Left(City, Len(City) - 1)
   End With
End Sub
