<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
So I have the following data example in three consecutive rows:<br />
<br />
Tom, Kansas, 321 N B, University<br />
Tom, Kansas, 321 N B, University, Wichita<br />
Tom Farrow, Kansas, 321 N B, Kansas University<br />
<br />
I'd like to have one row that eliminates duplication. &nbsp;It would look like this (knowing there is still some duplication due to similar, but different naming conventions between the commas).<br />
<br />
Tom, Tom Farrow, Kansas, 321 N B, Kansas University, University, Wichita<br />
<br />
Will an Excel function do this? &nbsp;Thanks. &nbsp;- Tom

Combining Excel Rows Into One Row..

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.

Microsoft Excel

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
