Distribution of reporter cells according to a specified column

[Per]

I have a serie of experiments. the results from the different experiments are
presented in a culumn with x number of cells with numbers (each number
represent a gene). To get an overview of what experiments give similar
results I want the cells in the result column to be distributed according to
another colomn which contain all genes/numbers involved.
At present I make this distribution of cells more or less manually.
Unfortunately I have lots of data and it take lots of time, it is easy to
make misstakes, and it is very hard and exhaustive work.
Is there a way to use an excel-function for this? I have not been able to
solve this myself.

Per,

Bit sparse on detail mate ).

Can you give an example of the data, what cells it is in, and what results
that you expect?

Ok, A very simplified example. I have a number of subjects that are assigned
a number. One subject/cell in a column. Lets say I have five: 1002, 1220,
2634, 2838, and 89645. When I do an experiment I may get an output in a
column with the following subjects 2634, 1002 and 89645. In another
experiment I may get: 1002, 2634 and yet another I may get 2634, 1220, 89645,
and 2838. The output is rarely in sequential order (but thats a minor
problem).

Now I want to organize this output according to the column containing all
five subjects. Thus, if an experiment does not contain all five subjects I
want to have a blank cell in that row in this colomn. Each row should only
contain the same subjects on the work sheet. To obtain this I want to
distribute my subjects in a column according to another specified column. Can
I do that?

An even better function would be if I could order the experiments in
relation to each other without having a reference, but I expect this to
require more work to do. And the above solution would be sufficient for me to
continue.

Per,

I have posted an example workbook at http://cjoint.com/?lcsW3zKuGL which is
my interpretation of what you describe.
