Try using PivotTables for this--no formulas required.

Pivot tables, you need to have headers on the raw data like Name and Items
or something, then select the table and do data>pivot table and pivot table
report, click next click the layout button and drag the name header to the
row field, the item header to the column field (or row field depending how
you want it to look) and also the items header to the data field and click
finish
