Excel Multi Dependant Dropdowns Based on repeating data - excel

Am looking to create a multi layer dropdown solution for selecting addresses, where the dropdowns options change based on prior selections.
E.g - Selection options are Region, Country, City, Address Line 1
The ask is that if someone selects Region EMEA, the country list should show only countries in EMEA. They then select a country and the city lists only those pertaining to that country.
The issue I think may be how the source data is structured, but hoping there may be a solution without have to alter the source information. If that's not possible, then any solution that works is great.
Preferably this will not use VBA. It can be used initially to structure the data, but not for the dropdowns to operate in use as the file will uploaded to Excel Online.
The structure of the address data is as follows as an example:
REGION
COUNTRY
CITY
ADDRESS LINE 1
APAC
Australia
Adelaide
12 Fairview Road
APAC
New Zealand
Auckland
1313 Cambridge Drive
EMEA
UK
London
24 Sycamore Street
EMEA
UK
London
25 Madison Avenue
EMEA
Spain
Madrid
567 Mulberry Street
APAC

Auckland
2345 George Street
APAC
India
Dehli
322 Locust Street
APAC

12 Beech Street

How to transpose and concatenate an auto-workflow on excel or alteryx

I have huge sets of data and addresses that run multiple lines. Trying to create a grouping function or tool on excel or alteryx that can transpose and group all of the data in a tabular format without selecting each group individually. Problem is some of the raw data spans multiple rows making a function difficult to create.
e.g
name: belgium holdings
address: 123 european st
paris, France
taxid: 12345
Final result
name address taxid
belgium holdings 123 european st 12345
paris, France
This result, but for almost 50 entries. And if i can consolidate all the tabs into one spreadsheet
I've attached an example below the right is final

Change an excel sheet to be formatted differently

I'm not really sure of the proper terms here so I didn't know how to search for an answer.
I have a csv file with information presented in the following way:
Carrier

Aetna Health and Life Insurance Company (AHLIC)
IOWA
Aetna Health and Life Insurance Company (AHLIC)
ARIZONA
Aetna Health and Life Insurance Company (AHLIC)
UTAH
Aetna
CALIFORNIA
Aetna
TEXAS
Aetna
IDAHO
Humana
UTAH
Humana
FLORIDA
Humana
GEOLRGIA
I need the information to be presented like so:
Carrier
State
Aetna Health and Life Insurance Company (AHLIC)
IOWA, ARIZONA, UTAH
Aetna
CALIFORNIA, TEXAS, IDAHO
Humana
UTAH, FLORIDA, GEORGIA
My table has about 2000 rows so I'd prefer to not do it completely manually. What would the best way to accomplish this be?
If you have access to the new array formulas
To get your list of unique values in the first column
=UNIQUE(A2:A10)
And to join the values associated with each unique value
=TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,FILTER(B:B,A:A=D2,""))

Sorting in Excel without using VB code

I have this data in an Excel spreadsheet. I want to sort the data in ascending order using Column 1 and want to keep the respective columns in order. The first 6 data is to be sorted first and then the next 11 data. I have similar kind of huge set of data with different sizes which i want to sort in Excel.
Can anyone guide me on the efficient method to do this?

excel - find same names but with different addresses

Ok I've been racking my brain about this but can't come up with a clean way of getting the data I need.
I have a large list of customer information. I am interested in finding out where customers have bought different items, the layout of my cells is like:
Customer Name, Customer Address, Product
Joe Bloggs, 123 The Avenue, Apples
Joe Bloggs, 123 The Avenue, Apples
Jim Smith, 456 The Road, Oranges
Jim Smith, 456 The Road, Apples
So in this case, I'm not interested in Joe Bloggs as he bought Apples both times. I'm interested in Jim as he bought Oranges AND Apples. Is there a helper column I could use to help me filter this data out? So, counting if the customer name and address appears more than once and if the products are different? Thanks.
the best way to do this is creating a pivot tabel wich is based on the customer and the product
then sort on amount of products
Succes

How to merge similar rows in access/excel

I have the following table
Address, City, Data1, Data2, Data3
123 North 5th Street, San Francisco, A, B, C
123 N 5th Street, San Francisco, [Blank], D, [Blank]
123 North 5th St, San Francisco, E, F, G
I want to merge the data based on 2 criteria: the first 4 digits of the address and the city.
So the merge row would look like:
123 North 5th Street, San Francisco, AE, BDF, CG
I have about 6000 records include the "duplicates". I have the table in both access and excel, any help would be appreciated.
Are you sure you want to carry out the matching on that criteia? Would you for instance want to match the following record with those three above
123 North 4th Street, San Francisco?
The ideal way to do this is to address standardise the data first and then deduplicate it. In NZ for instance we use a PAF file (Postal Address File) to standardise the addressing and accurately issue a DPID (delivery point identifier) to each record. You'd then be in a position to match the data to carry out your second step of merging records (which is still a tricky exercise). There would be plenty of vendors around to facilitate this for you in the US for a small fee, Axciom I believe is a global player in this space.
If you don't want to do that, another option is to use a third party tool to match those records with some fuzzy logic rather than coding it yourself, I've used an addin to Excel before by a company called DQGlobal to run over data and match records.
