Move all matches in column up to the corresponding row?

[daveasu]

In a spreadsheet I have employee names in Column A and corresponding data in Column B. I need to find the data in Column B that matches the employee names and move that data up to a single row per employee.

I tried an array formula
=ADDRESS(3,MAX((3:3<>"")*COLUMN(3:3)),1)


and the MATCH function
=MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(ISBLANK(B1:B3000),0,0),0)

But, couldn't find a combination that would return the values (and put them in the next blank cell on the corresponding row)

Is this something that can only be solved with VBA?

A ctrl-shift-enter formula will work, something like:

=index($b$1:$b$24,small(if($a$1:$a$24=$e2,row($a$1:$a$24)),column(a1)))

Slight change:

=INDEX($B$1:$B$24,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$24=$E1,ROW($A$1:$A$24)),COLUMN(A1)))

ctrl-shift-enter then drag across and down, hit F5, special, formulas, errors to delete the NUMs.

That worked perfectly!! And thank you for the tip about removing error messages!

Thank you Thank you!!
