Turning rows into columns based on a value in excel?

Question

I have a bunch of data, ordered below one another in excel (actually openoffice). I need them to be consolidated by the first column, but so that all data are still shown:

From (actually goes until 100):

1   283.038 244
1   279.899 494
1   255.139 992

        224.395 30000056        

This must be really simple. But I couldn't find it. I tried a pivot table, but that only allows me to summarise or count etc the fields, while I want them all to be displayed. Any ideas?

To elaborate on the pivot table. I put column 1 as row, column 2 as colum and column 3 in the middle, but that comes out with a lot of empty cells and summarised.

I am not sure on which search terms to look, unconsolidised pivot tables haven't provided an answer.

Answer 1

After some discussions with my collegues, this seemed undoable in excel. So I just created a short script to save each "run" (which is the first column) in a seperate file, from csv:

awk -F, '{print > $1}' rw.txt
