Hello,

(I did search for a solution on here but couldn't find, hence the new thread)

I have the following issue if anybody can help:

(Many to many relationships)

List 1
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Ref[/TD]
[TD]Property 1[/TD]
[TD]Property 2[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]0.1[/TD]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]E[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]0.2[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]
[TD]A[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]0.3[/TD]
[TD]C
[/TD]
[TD]D[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]0.4[/TD]
[TD]D[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

List 2
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Properties[/TD]
[TD]Attributes[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]Blue[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]Green[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]Yellow[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]B[/TD]
[TD]Red[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]B[/TD]
[TD]Blue[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]C[/TD]
[TD]Orange[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]C[/TD]
[TD]Green[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]C[/TD]
[TD]Blue[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]D[/TD]
[TD]Red[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]E[/TD]
[TD]Purple[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]E[/TD]
[TD]Green[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]E[/TD]
[TD]Blue[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]E[/TD]
[TD]Yellow[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]E[/TD]
[TD]Orange[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


Desired output - only an example for one row in List 1:
[TABLE="width: 500"]

</tbody>[/TABLE]


Any thoughts?

(Formula preferred, but macro will do - beggars can't be...)

Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
