Hi all,

I am struggling to find a smart and efficient way where I can make a list out of a huge table.
Thought there would be someone here that could help me find a way to build a macro or some condition formula in order to obtain the result i am after.
Its heavy manual work but somehow i want to believe it can be automated somehow.

I have a list of names (in rows) and a list of items (in columns), but not all names necessary need to be in all columns, should be at least 1, but can also have none.... so I have many empty cells lets say.
In the end what I want to achieve, is to have a summary list of which column item is ticked for each name.. or which names appear on each column.
Example:

NameOpt1Opt2Opt3Opt4Opt5OptN
AlfaYesYes
BetaYes
CharlieYes
DeltaYesYes
EchoYes
NameNYes

Thing is that I actually have 100-150 names (rows) and 288 options/items (columns) - that's why the N.

and below how id like to have it:

Ideally option 1 i believe is the best one since ill have it easier to group and work with it.
AlfaOpt1
AlfaOpt4
BetaOpt3
CharlieOpt2
DeltaOpt4
DeltaOpt5
EchoOpt3
NameNOptN

but Other option i thought to try is maybe to have them as below:

Opt1Alfa
Opt2Charlie
Opt3BetaEcho
Opt4AlfaDelta
Opt5Delta
OptNNameN

Not sure what would be easier to build to be honest.

I have the feeling it can be an easy task to do, but somehow I'm having hard time to put it all together.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Dani

How about
VBA Code:
Sub DaniLobP()
   Dim Ary As Variant, Nary As Variant
   Dim r As Long, c As Long, nr As Long
   
   Ary = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Value2
   ReDim Nary(1 To UBound(Ary) * UBound(Ary, 2), 1 To 2)
   
   For r = 2 To UBound(Ary)
      For c = 2 To UBound(Ary, 2)
         If Ary(r, c) = "Yes" Then
            nr = nr + 1
            Nary(nr, 1) = Ary(r, 1)
            Nary(nr, 2) = Ary(1, c)
         End If
      Next c
   Next r
   Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A2").Resize(nr, 2).Value = Nary
End Sub
change sheet names to suit.

nice, works great Fluff! exactly what i wanted.
Would it be to much asking if you can explain what does each line do so i can understand better this type of macro? looks like it can be reused in other examples i have and tailor it as it comes..
Once again thanks for your prompt help! :D

            nr = nr + 1                                        'increments the row in the output array by one
            Nary(nr, 1) = Ary(r, 1)                            'populates the output array with the name from column one
            Nary(nr, 2) = Ary(1, c)                            'populates the output array with the column header
         End If
      Next c
   Next r
   Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A2").Resize(nr, 2).Value = Nary     'dumps the output array to the sheet
End Sub
