Combine multiple Rows and 2 columns into 1 row

Hello,
I think this should be an easy problem but I just cannot figure out how to do it.

In column A I have a Name, in column B a transaction code and in column C I have a date.

There are multiple encounters for each person. I was wondering how do i combine the rows to have the unique name, with the transaction code and the date of the transaction in the next column and so on. Column A is a unique number, Column B is text and Column C is a date...Here is how the table is set up....
A              B         C
1001      G01      1/8/2009
1001      992      1/22/2009
1001      99      2/19/2009
1001      99      3/12/2009
1002      99      1/6/2009
1002      99      1/12/2009
1002      99      3/25/2009
1002      99      4/8/2009
1004      99      1/13/2009
1004      G01      1/25/2009

I am wondering how to get

1001      99        date 1    next transaction    next date

Can anyone help me out..I would love any advice. Thanks

You are looking to output this on a report? An Excell SS?

This would really need a VBA function to do smoothly. But it wouldn't be designed for input or editing data.

It does not have to be, I had it in access, I tried to do a cross-tab query, but I could only get every date going cross the column headers with the transactions filled in.

Do you wish the output to be like:

A              B         C                 D
1001      G01      1/8/2009      1001      G01      1/8/2009      992      1/22/2009
1001      992      1/22/2009     1001      992      1/22/2009      99      2/19/2009
1001      99      2/19/2009      1001      99      2/19/2009      99      3/12/2009
1001      99      3/12/2009      1001      99      3/12/2009
1002      99      1/6/2009      1002      99      1/6/2009      99      1/12/2009
1002      99      1/12/2009      1002      99      1/12/2009      99      3/25/2009
1002      99      3/25/2009      1002      99      3/25/2009      99      4/8/2009
1002      99      4/8/2009      1002      99
1004      99      1/13/2009      1004      99      1/13/2009      G01      1/25/2009
1004      G01      1/25/2009    1004      G01      1/25/2009
I only need a unique value in column A, then alternating transaction and date for as many occurences. Thanks I know this is a weird question, and I am very new to this.


A              B         C                   D             E            F                G             H
1001      G01      1/8/2009       1001       G01      1/8/2009      992      1/22/2009
1002      99         1/6/2009       1002         99        1/6/2009      
1004      99         1/13/2009      1004      99         1/13/2009      G01      1/25/2009
