NikolinoDE thank you, but I think I did not explain properly what I actually need help in. The first screen shot picture that I shared is exactly what you had explained.

From the screen captures it looks like you're using Excel 2016 which doesn't support UNIQUE and dynamic arrays. Analyzing this data set might be a small chore with formulas in that version. Another approach to make is tabling the data and unpivoting from Column E to the end which will make your data run mostly vertical. From there you could pivot the data. If you're able to upload a mock sample of the data set, myself or someone else could arrange it for you.
