Hi,
Can someone give me some ideas on how to Sort and Merge data with a
macro to accomplish the following?:

Before Sort/Merge

A1 123
A5 456
A3 789
A1 222
A5 333
A5 111
A3 655


I want to sort the data by the first column and then merge the data so
that I have unique values in the first column. I would expect the
result of the sort/merge to be:

After Sort/Merge

A1 123 222
A3 655 789
A5 333 456 111

Thanks

If you add headers, you could record a macro when you sorted by column A and
then did Data|Subtotals.

Then you'll be able to use the outlining symbols to the left to hide the
details.

An alternative...

Add headers and use Data|Pivottable.

It's made for this kind of stuff.

You could record the macro when you do it manually.
