Hello, Apologies if this is already on here - I did a search but was not successful in finding anything that is exactly what I'm looking for (and my VBA knowledge is limited...)

I am looking to take data I have in an excel spreadsheet and concatenate one columns data for a referenced "tag" (User ID below) in a another column. For example below, for all line items with the user ID jdoe3 i would like to combine the colors into one line and discard the remaining lines. Are you able to help me with the VBA code I would need to do this?

Currently it looks like this:
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Name[/TD]
[TD]User ID[/TD]
[TD]Colors[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]John Doe[/TD]
[TD]jdoe3[/TD]
[TD]blue[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]John Doe[/TD]
[TD]jdoe3[/TD]
[TD]yellow[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]John Doe[/TD]
[TD]jdoe3[/TD]
[TD]green[/TD]

[TD]John Doe[/TD]
[TD]jdoe3[/TD]

[TD]green[/TD]

[TD]blue[/TD]

[TD]George Phillips[/TD]
[TD]gphillips[/TD]
[TD]green[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


I would like it to look like this:
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Name[/TD]
