vlookup & concatenate?

I am trying to do a vlookup (or should I use another function???) of several rows of dates and events, then pull all the events that occur on the same date into a single cell (in a calendar)? For example:

Here is the list of events by date

10/29/2008 All-Team Meeting
11/19/2008 All-Team Meeting
8/27/2008 All-Team Meeting
8/27/2008 Test

I want my calendar for August to show all the events that occur on each particular day (in my formula below, you’ll notice that I am only able to pull the first value for the 8/27/08 entry).

Here is my [incorrect] formula:
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(J15,'Comm. Plan'!$A:$B,2,FALSE)),"",(VLOOKUP(J15,'Comm. Plan'!$A:$B,2,FALSE)))

Here is what I would like to see for August 28th:


25-Aug
26-Aug
27-Aug
28-Aug All-Team Meeting, Test

Lastly, I would like the rows to auto-size based on all the entries that fill up each date.


Thank you in advance - this is a problem that has plagued me for a year now!

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
What you could do is set an advanced filter that has its criteria based on the entry of another cell.

Can you explain a little further?

I have about 300 rows of data that I want to populate into my 2008-2009 calendar, month by month.
