Pull Data By Vendor from Excel for Outlook Email - excel

Question

I have a list of vendors that I sort by name and then have a macro go through and pull out data pieces from fields and place them inside an Outlook email. Pretty straightforward until I get to vendors with multiple lines, as I then need to have the code know to look at all the lines for that vendor and pull their info and place it into a list in the email (so they do not get multiple emails all at once).
The above image is a sample of the list after I have sorted it by vendor. So I would want one email for each vendor, but vendor1 would need the data from Invoice, Paid Amt, Check ID, and Check Dt for both of his lines. Vendor 2 would just have one line, and Vendor3 would have 3. I need a way to have the macro know to look at the vendor name (or Vendor #) and know that it needs to pull the data from the next line and include it in that same email until it is at the next vendor.
I am not a programmer and am trying to make this work. Below is an example of what I have been trying so far but it only creates one email for every line. Hoping someone smarter than me can help me. Thanks.

Answer 1

If the email addresses are sorted:
When the email address matches the previous:
Bypass creating email, append to the body.
When there is a new email address:
Send the existing mail before creating new email.
