I was using a vlookup to get data from an ID, but I have realised that I have duplicate ID's in the database.
I am wanting to merge duplicate row ID's within a database, but keeping all data contained for them.
I am expecting there to be up to a max of 5 duplicates, so repeating the Fruit/Animal/Colour columns up to 5 times to the right.
I also want to be able to keep the highest number in Column B that is attributed to that ID.
ID's are not in numerical order in the database, and contain both numbers and letters.

Please see the following example:

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Sort by date Sort by votes
With Data on sheet "Current" and the results on sheet "Output", try this:-
Code:

[COLOR="Navy"]Set[/COLOR] Dic = CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
Dic.CompareMode = vbTextCompare

    [COLOR="Navy"]Set[/COLOR] Rng = .Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))

[COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] If
[COLOR="Navy"]Next[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Navy"]With[/COLOR] Sheets("Output")
    .Range("A2").Resize(Dic.Count, 2) = Application.Transpose(Array(Dic.Keys, Dic.items))
    .Range("A1:B1").Value = Array("ID", "Number")

    Ac = Ac + 3
