Dear Helpers,

I am looking for VBA Solution which is very peculiar situation and crack my head to do it as Simple but could not do that. I request this could be done by a Macro and seeking your kind Help.

- Overview
Sheet 1 contains Column A and Column B
- Column A has unique values to be compared with Column B
- Column B contains rows with same pattern followed by text
- I need a help to merge data between 2 rows of column B

- Problem Explanation:
Sheet 1
Column A contains Unique Values of ID or string to match aganist column B
Column B data follows same pattern "Overview", "Topics", "Eligibility"
Cell values between the above pattern should be merged into a single cell with a delimiter in sheet 2 (Ignoring Blanks and removing Duplicates)

- Output Expected
In Sheet 2- create a columns with pattern mentioned and populate the row data in a single cell
It should ignore blank rows data. and remove duplicates if any
