EDIT:??
EDIT: ADD MY SAMPLE INPUT & OUTPUT RESULT
EDIT: Variable added, ChuckSize
EDIT: also change the lane startCol = objSheet1.Range("A1").column
The “A” to “S”, to whatever column your PID is at,
assumption made: Your data starts from row 1
A solution using @Tim’s Solution + the 2D Array optimization tech.
Sample Input:
A A A A A A A A A A PID T1Name T1StartDate T1FinishDate Total Time Spent T2Name T2StartDate T2FinishDate Total Time Spent T3Name T3StartDate T3FinishDate Total Time Spent
A A A A A A A A A A 11 S1 12/7/2012 19/7/2012 100 19/7/2012
A A A A A A A A A A 12 S1 12/7/2012 S2 19/7/2012
A A A A A A A A A A 13 12/7/2012 11/5/2012 S6 12/5/2010
Sample Output:
A A A A A A A A A A PID T1Name T1StartDate T1FinishDate Total Time Spent T2Name T2StartDate T2FinishDate Total Time Spent T3Name T3StartDate T3FinishDate Total Time Spent
A A A A A A A A A A 11 S1 12/7/2012 19/7/2012 100
