Sheet1


I would like to Use the full length name of the Company based on the Company Code as a header above the other data. The data set is about 3,000 rows. An example of what I would like is this:

Sheet1


The purpose of putting the data like this is so that I can group it by customer and collapse and uncollapse the data. Is there any easy way to count up from the bottom and then insert the value of column 2 in Sheet 1 based on a Vlookup? Additionally is there a simple way to run a macro to group the data in collapsable tabs based on a change in customer for example maybe look for a value in the b column. If the cell is blank then group all rows below it until another blank cell is found and then do the same thing?

I know this is a very detailed question. Any partial help or complete help would be much appreciated.
