Hi All,

I have an excel sheet like following:

animal1
ani-dog
ani-cat
ani-cow
ani-horse
animal2
ani-tiger
ani-lion
animal3
ani-elephant
ani-wolf
ani-fox

I need output as :

animal1	ani-dog	ani-cat	ani-cow	ani-horse
animal2	ani-tiger	ani-lion		
animal3	ani-elephant	ani-wolf	ani-fox

It means there will be transpose of cells when there is a new set of animals. Can this be achieved with single formula?

Thank you..!!

What I have tried:

Tried writing a macro which worked....but need a formula....

There's no chance to achieve that using single formula, because there's no relationship between data, which means that set of animals: {ani-elephant, ani-wolf, ani-fox} knows nothing about its group animal3.
