Sorry if the title isn't descriptive I honestly had no clue how to quickly say what I'm working on.Hello, thanks very much in advanced for the help. Basically I have a long list with two columns, the first column has a word and the second a string of numbers. I would like to automatically re-arrange it so that any time something from column A is repeated it is removed but it's number string from column B is added to a new column next to the first time the word popped up in column A. Note that I want exact matches only, since there are very similiar word strings in some of column A.

Here is an example; the top is what my data looks like now, and the bottom is what I would like to be able to do with it. I had thought of doing a conditional formatting for repeats and then a pivot-paste kind of thing, but there's about 10000 strings in my sheet so automation would be very helpful.

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Hello,

from myarchiv w/o adaption.

Code:
Sub iFen()
Ar = Cells(1).CurrentRegion
With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
    For i = 2 To UBound(Ar)
        If .exists(Ar(i, 1)) Then
            .Item(Ar(i, 1)) = .Item(Ar(i, 1)) & ", " & Ar(i, 2)
        Else
            .Item(Ar(i, 1)) = Ar(i, 2) 
        End If
    Next i

Cells(5, 1).Resize(.Count, 2) = Application.Transpose(Array(.keys, .items))
End With
End Sub

I hope you can debug it.

regards
