Invert table by content: from people assigned to a task to tasks assigned to a person

Hello,

I'm working in Excel 2013.

I have a table that contains tasks and people assigned to each task. Tasks are unique, buy a person can be assigned more to one task.

I need to find a way to create an "inverted table": a list of people (unique names) and tasks assigned to each person. 

How can it be achieved?

Many thanks!

  • Hi rainbringer ,

    I understand this is not quite what you are looking for but how about you change the layout of your table?

      Bennadeau ,

      actually, I'm very embarrassed I haven't thought about it myself, because it completely answers my needs (((

      Thank you!
