I have roles in column A and their corresponding entitlement in column B

I need a macro to pick the child role corresponding parent role

Role Entitlement
Role 1 Entitlement 7
Role 1 Entitlement 8
Role 1 Entitlement 9
Role 2 Entitlement 7
Role 2 Entitlement 8
Role 3 Entitlement 6
Role 3 Entitlement 7
Role 3 Entitlement 8
Role 3 Entitlement 9
Role 4 Entitlement 6
Role 5 Entitlement 9

Role 1 inherits Role 2 and Role 5
Role 3 inherits Role 4 and Role 1

Can I have a macro to identify the child roles
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
  1. What's the logic (rule) of the Role hierarchy (i.e. how do you determine that Role 1 inherits Role 2 and Role 5, and that Role 3 inherits Role 4 and Role 1?)?
  2. Subject to the answer to Q1, why do you need a macro - would formulas in columns to the right of Entitlement that identifies the child-parent match not be sufficient?

With your data in columns "A & B", try this for results starting column "D".
Code:
[COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR] MG19Feb03
[COLOR="Navy"]Dim[/COLOR] Rng [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Range, Dn [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Range, n [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Long,[/COLOR] K [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Variant, Txt [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]String,[/COLOR] c [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Long[/COLOR]

  ReDim ray(1 To Rng.Count, 1 To 2)

   Dic.CompareMode = vbTextCompare

                 [COLOR="Navy"]If[/COLOR] Not Rr.Offset(, -1).Value = K [COLOR="Navy"]Then[/COLOR]
                    [COLOR="Navy"]If[/COLOR] Not Dic.exists(Rr.Offset(, -1).Value) [COLOR="Navy"]Then[/COLOR]
                    Dic.Add Rr.Offset(, -1).Value, Nothing

        [COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] If
    [COLOR="Navy"]Next[/COLOR] R
 ray(c, 1) = K
 ray(c, 2) = Join(Dic.keys(), ",")
 [COLOR="Navy"]Next[/COLOR] K

[COLOR="Navy"]With[/COLOR] Range("D1").Resize(c, 2)
    .Value = ray

    .Columns.AutoFit
    .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
 [COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] With

[COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR]
