I'm around 2 months in my VBA journey and I have encountered a problem which I can't find a solution to online. I'm having problems manipulating an Excel table to another format which has been created by another macro that I have programmed. I have a table with country and name of a figure on different rows, listed on a couple of rows. I want it to be dynamic since this table will be updated everyday
I have written below on how I want it to look. My idea is to code the country as a digit and then remove duplicats in the country region.
I have tried to create a loop and I'm thinking that I might have to create a range for each country.
Sub ManipulateTable()
Dim Country as String
Dim USA as Range
Dim EU as Range
Dim India as Range
Const StartRow As Byte = 7
Dim LastRow as Long
LastRow = Range("A" & StartRow.(End(xlDown).Row
For i StartRow to LastRow
Country = Range("A" & i).Value
If Country = "USA" Then Range("C" & i).value = 1
If Country = "EU" Then Range("C" & i).value = 2
If Country = "India" Then Range("C" & i).value = 3
Next i
' This to remove duplicates from column a
Range("A7:A30").RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1). Header:= xlYes
' I thinking that I need to create a loop here
' But I dont know where to start
For i StartRow to LastRow
Countryindex = Range("C").Value
If Countryindex = 1 Then put under USA
If Countryindex = 2 Then put under EU
My Table looks like this with separate columns
"A" "B"
Data
1 USA Sales
2 USA Employment Figures
3 USA Tax
4 EU Sales
5 EU Employment Figures
6 India Sales
7 India Expenses
8 India Employment Figures
I want a table which looks like this
"A"
Data
1 USA: (With some color)
2 Sales
3 Employment
4 Tax
5 EU: (With some color)
6 Sales
7 Employment
8 India: (With some color)
9 Sales
10 Expenses
11 Employment
All help is highly appriciated.

Save a copy before you run this it will overwrite your data.
Dim lastrow As Long
Dim iter As Long
Dim diter As Long
Dim countrydict As Object
Dim country As String
Dim data As String
Dim key As Variant
Set countrydict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
With ActiveSheet
lastrow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).row
For iter = 1 To lastrow
country = Trim(.Cells(iter, 1).value)
data = Trim(.Cells(iter, 2).value)
If countrydict.Exists(country) Then
If Not InStr(1, countrydict(country), data) > 0 Then ' Remove Dupes
countrydict(country) = countrydict(country) & "|" & data ' an array would work but we can instr a string
End If
Else
countrydict.Add country, data
End If
Next
iter = 1
For Each key In countrydict
.Cells(iter, 1).value = key & ":"
.cells(iter, 1).font.bold = True
.cells(iter, 1).font.colorindex = 30
iter = iter + 1
For diter = 0 To UBound(Split(countrydict(key), "|"))
.Cells(iter, 1).value = Split(countrydict(key), "|")(diter)
iter = iter + 1
Next
Next
.Columns("B").Clear
End With
