How to preprocess rows in MS Excel to create series data based on common column values
I have several hundred rows of data where one column contains students names, one column contains an assignment ID, and one column contains scores. I am looking for way in MS Excel to preprocess the data set, either using built in functions or VB macros in such a way to organize the scores into a series labeled by the students name. If possible I would like to use assignment id’s for y axis labels when I graph. Is there a macro or function for preprocessing data like this in MS Excel?
A. B. C.
1 Name ID Score
2 Al 1000 97%
3 Rob 1000 93%
4 Jack 1000 95%
5 Al 1001 92%
6 Rob 1001 97%
7 Tim 1001 98%
8 Jack 1001 93%
Transforms to
A. B. C.
1 Name 1000 1001
2 Al 97% 92%
3 Rob 93% 97%
4 Jack 95% 93%
5 Tim 98%
Update:
Try to insert a PivotTable.
