While I'm not the OP/asker, I did test sktneer's solution and that seems to be exactly what was requested (and hence deserve most, if not all points)

I have a spreadsheet with two columns and a ton of rows. The rows are really should be the headers. <br />

Column A has a series of items, Date, Name, Event Date, Email. and then in B the response to those. But I can't get the pivot table if that is what I am supposed to be using to cancel out the repeats in A and put the corresponding Text in B as Rows.

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.
