Excelchat Expert

And Julie has no relation with the John Keeper in row 4
User
12/02/2018 - 03:15
yes they are a couple... but each is placed i=on a line because in the other 2 sessions as you see each is attending a different session
User
12/02/2018 - 03:15
is it possible ?????
Excelchat Expert
12/02/2018 - 03:15
Ok. But then it would be difficult to know how they are related.
User
12/02/2018 - 03:16
we know it through paypal.....
Excelchat Expert
12/02/2018 - 03:16
Then you have to enter that information first.
Excelchat Expert
12/02/2018 - 03:16
in a separate column.
User
12/02/2018 - 03:16
ok
Excelchat Expert
12/02/2018 - 03:16
But then it would become more of a VBA macro task.
Excelchat Expert
12/02/2018 - 03:17
Anyway give me few moments to think if this can be done through some formula.
User
12/02/2018 - 03:17

Please see this sheet. But for your use, this doesn't consider the couple yet and you will have to modify the Pivots depending on your data.
