I have two columns in my excel:
TableName Function
100 abc
100 def
100 xyz
100 ghy
100 ajh
101 ahd
101 lkj
101 gtr
102 afg
102 vbg
102 arw
102 fgtr
I need output as
TableName Function
100 abc,def,xyz,ghy,ajh,
101 ahd,lkj,gtr,
102 102,102,102,102,
You can try this simpler code,
Sub joinStr()
Dim i As Long, str As String, k As Long
Columns("A:B").Sort key1:=Range("A2"), order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes
str = Cells(2, 2)
k = 2
For i = 2 To Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
If Cells(i, 1) = Cells(i + 1, 1) Then
str = str & "," & Cells(i + 1, 2)
Else
Cells(k, 4) = Cells(i, 1)
Cells(k, 5) = str
k = k + 1
str = Cells(i + 1, 2)
End If
Next i
End Sub
If you are okay with VBA solution then following might help.

The code I have takes cells containing the delimiter (; ) from a column, and creates new rows (everything except the column is duplicated) to separate those values.
What I have
I need this for multiple columns in my data, but I don't want the data to overlap (ex: for 3 columns, I want there to be only one value per row in those 3 columns). It would be ideal if I could select multiple columns instead of only one as my code does now.
What I want
Sub splitByCol()
Dim r As Range, i As Long, ar
Set r = Worksheets("Sheet").Range("J2000").End(xlUp)
Do While r.Row > 1
ar = Split(r.Value, "; ")
If UBound(ar) >= 0 Then r.Value = ar(0)
For i = UBound(ar) To 1 Step -1
r.EntireRow.Copy
r.Offset(1).EntireRow.Insert
r.Offset(1).Value = ar(i)
Next
Set r = r.Offset(-1)
Loop
End Sub
Try this code
Sub Test()
Dim a, x, e, i As Long, ii As Long, iii As Long, k As Long
a = Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Value
ReDim b(1 To 1000, 1 To UBound(a, 2))
For i = LBound(a) To UBound(a)
For ii = 2 To 3
x = Split(a(i, ii), "; ")
For Each e In x
k = k + 1
b(k, 1) = k
b(k, 2) = IIf(ii = 2, e, Empty)
b(k, 3) = IIf(ii = 3, e, Empty)
b(k, 4) = a(i, 4)
Next e
Next ii
Next i
Range("A5").Resize(UBound(b, 1), UBound(b, 2)).Value = b
End Sub
I'd go this way
Sub SplitByCol()
With Worksheets("Sheet")
With .Range("B2", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp))
Dim firstColValues As Variant
firstColValues = .Value
Dim secondColValues As Variant
secondColValues = .Offset(, 1).Value
Dim thirdColValues As Variant
thirdColValues = .Offset(, 2).Value
.Offset(, -1).Resize(, 4).ClearContents
End With
Dim iRow As Long
For iRow = LBound(firstColValues) To UBound(firstColValues)
Dim currFirstColValues As Variant
currFirstColValues = Split(firstColValues(iRow, 1), "; ")
Dim currSecondColValues As Variant
currSecondColValues = Split(secondColValues(iRow, 1), "; ")
With .Cells(.Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Offset(1, -1)

Please, use the next code. It uses arrays and should be very fast for big ranges to be processed, working mostly in memory:
Sub testSplitInsert()
Dim sh As Worksheet, lastR As Long, arr, arrSp, arrFin, i As Long, j As Long, k As Long
Set sh = ActiveSheet
lastR = sh.Range("B" & sh.rows.count).End(xlUp).row
arr = sh.Range("B1:D" & lastR).Value
ReDim arrFin(1 To UBound(arr) * 10, 1 To 3) 'maximum to keep max 10 rows per each case
k = 1 'initialize the variable to load the final array
For i = 1 To UBound(arr)
arrSp = Split(Replace(arr(i, 1)," ",""), ";") 'trim for the case when somebody used Red;Blue, instead of Red; Blue
For j = 0 To UBound(arrSp)
arrFin(k, 1) = arrSp(j): arrFin(k, 3) = arr(i, 3): k = k + 1
Next j
arrSp = Split(Replace(arr(i, 1)," ",""), ";")
For j = 0 To UBound(arrSp)
arrFin(k, 2) = arrSp(j): arrFin(k, 3) = arr(i, 3): k = k + 1
Next j
Next
sh.Range("G1").Resize(k - 1, 3).Value = arrFin
End Sub
It processes the range in columns "B:D" and returns the result in columns "G:I". It can be easily adapted to process any columns range and return even overwriting the existing range, but this should be done only after checking that it return what you need...
I have a mapping table which I use for matching column headers of two separate sheets (Sheet1 and Sheet2). But when I also want to match the row headers (months) the code is matching the rows, not the cells on column A. Any ideas how can I make this work? Thank you in advance! :)

However, for large data sets - such as 290,150 rows - the macro spins its wheels. It's known that Evaluate is expensive to run and I have tried running for sample sizes of 30 (success) and 1,000 (unsuccessful) and debugged carefully. Obviously in-cell array formulation drag-and-drop is not a practical alternative. So, the problem reduces to resolving endless spinning for the given multiple criteria match function required.
How do I bypass this constraint?
Try this approach using a dictionary as a lookup:
Sub Left()
Dim wsAdj As Worksheet, wsDel As Worksheet, wb As Workbook
Dim lrDel As Long, lrAdj As Long, r As Long
Dim dict, t, arr, arrG, arrI, arrRes, k
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set wsAdj = wb.Worksheets("Adj")
Set wsDel = wb.Worksheets("Deleted")
lrAdj = 290150
lrDel = 957
t = Timer
'load a dictionary with lookup values constructed from wsDel ColA
Set dict = CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
arr = wsDel.Range("A2:A" & lrDel).Value
For r = 1 To UBound(arr, 1)
k = Left(arr(r, 1), 11) & Chr(0) & Right(arr(r, 1), 4)
dict(k) = r + 1 '+1 to adjust for starting at row 2
Next r
arrG = wsAdj.Range("G2:G" & lrAdj).Value 'get the match columns as arrays
arrI = wsAdj.Range("I2:I" & lrAdj).Value
ReDim arrRes(1 To UBound(arrG, 1), 1 To 1) 'resize the "result" array
'loop the values from wsAdj
For r = 1 To UBound(arrG, 1)
k = arrG(r, 1) & Chr(0) & arrI(r, 1) 'build the "key"
If dict.exists(k) Then
arrRes(r, 1) = dict(k) 'get the matched row
End If
Next r
wsAdj.Cells(2, 15).Resize(UBound(arrRes, 1), 1).Value = arrRes 'put the array on the sheet
Debug.Print "done", Timer - t ' <1 sec
End Sub
Stating Ranges instead of Columns and removing ReDim on loop helped.

If you must use dictionaries then you could do this with a single dictionary, storing the counts and quantities as array as the values in the dictionary.

This custom VBA function would create the desired result of getting the SKU code. I broke it up to show how to get each position.
Function Drop_Bucks(inputText As String) As String
Dim beginSpot As Long, endSpot As Long
'Finds last /
beginSpot = InStrRev(inputText, "/", -1, vbTextCompare) + 1
'Finds jpg
endSpot = InStrRev(inputText, ".jpg", -1, vbTextCompare)
Drop_Bucks = Replace(Mid(inputText, beginSpot, endSpot - beginSpot), "-", "_")
End Function
As a followup, you could also create the sku without VBA. If you put this formula in cell c4 with a sku in d4. It should do without macro.
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(d4, "/",REPT("?", 999)), 999),"?",""), ".jpg",REPT("?", 999)), 999),"?",""),"-","_")

'A reference to "Microsoft Scripting Runtime" must be added. Otherwise, you can declare hUnq As Object...
And do not forget to have Option Base on tot of the module where this code exists. It is necessary to work with the way you built your initial code.
Edited: I adapted the code to accept up to six columns as you suggested. Please give it a try.
But it only check the unique SKU Code and select the first occurrence. If the other occurrences appear, the will not be considered even if they have different strings on its row. The code can be adapted to work also from this point of view, but now I think is your turn to make some tests...
