In my Excel sheet I have multiple rows with data from the same customer. (orange)
I need to transpose this data to one row per customer, where all invoice numbers are in 1 line as shown in image (green part)

How can this be done?

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
Assuming your data is sorted by customer as per your sample, try this with a copy of your data

VBA Code:
Sub Rearrange()
  Dim a As Variant, b As Variant
  Dim i As Long, r As Long, c As Long, MaxCols As Long
  
  a = Range("A1", Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value
  ReDim b(1 To UBound(a), 1 To 2)
  For i = 2 To UBound(a)
    If a(i, 1) <> a(i - 1, 1) Then
      r = r + 1
      b(r, 1) = a(i, 1)
      b(r, 2) = a(i, 2)
      c = 2
    Else
      c = c + 1
      If c > MaxCols Then
        MaxCols = c
        ReDim Preserve b(1 To UBound(b), 1 To MaxCols)
      End If
      b(r, c) = a(i, 2)
    End If
  Next i
  With Range("E1").Resize(, MaxCols)
    .Formula = "=""Invoice ""&COLUMNS($E1:E1)-1"
    .Value = .Value
    .Cells(1).ClearContents
    .Offset(1).Resize(r).Value = b
    .EntireColumn.AutoFit
  End With
End Sub

BTW ..
I suggest that you update your Account details (click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

Also suggest that you investigate XL2BB for providing sample data to make it easier for helpers by not having to manually type out sample data to test with.

Thanks Peter,

This works perfect!

Also updated my profile with Office version and platform.

An alternative is to use Power Query/Get and Transform found on the Data Tab. Mcode is as follows.

Rich (BB code):
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Customer", type text}, {"Invoice", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Customer"}, {{"Data", each _, type table [Customer=text, Invoice=number]}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Custom", each Table.AddIndexColumn([Data], "Index", 1, 1)),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Data"}),
    #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Removed Columns", "Custom", {"Invoice", "Index"}, {"Custom.Invoice", "Custom.Index"}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Custom", {{"Custom.Index", type text}}, "en-US"), List.Distinct(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Custom", {{"Custom.Index", type text}}, "en-US")[Custom.Index]), "Custom.Index", "Custom.Invoice", List.Sum),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Pivoted Column",{{"1", "Invoice1"}, {"2", "Invoice2"}, {"3", "Invoice3"}})
in
    #"Renamed Columns"

@alansidman
what about this?
CustomerInvoice1Invoice2Invoice345
Customer 155
Customer 2565758
Customer 359
Customer 46061
Customer 5100120130140150


so maybe
CustomerInvoice.1Invoice.2Invoice.3Invoice.4Invoice.5
Customer 155
Customer 2565758
Customer 359
Customer 46061
Customer 5100120130140150

Rich (BB code):
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    Group = Table.Group(Source, {"Customer"}, {{"Count", each _, type table}}),
    List = Table.AddColumn(Group, "Invoice", each [Count][Invoice]),
    Extract = Table.TransformColumns(List, {"Invoice", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From), ","), type text}),
    SortLen = Table.Sort(Table.AddColumn(Extract, "Length", each Text.Length([Invoice]), Int64.Type),{{"Length", Order.Descending}}),
    Split = Table.SplitColumn(SortLen, "Invoice", Splitter.SplitTextByAnyDelimiter({","}, QuoteStyle.Csv)),
    Sort = Table.Sort(Table.RemoveColumns(Split,{"Count", "Length"}),{{"Customer", Order.Ascending}})
in
    Sort

or with your code modified
Rich (BB code):
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(Source, {"Customer"}, {{"Data", each _, type table [Customer=text, Invoice=number]}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Custom", each Table.AddIndexColumn([Data], "Index", 1, 1)),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Data"}),
    #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Removed Columns", "Custom", {"Invoice", "Index"}, {"Custom.Invoice", "Custom.Index"}),
    #"Added Prefix" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Expanded Custom", {{"Custom.Index", each "Invoice " & Text.From(_, "en-GB"), type text}}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Added Prefix", {{"Custom.Index", type text}}, "en-US"), List.Distinct(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Added Prefix", {{"Custom.Index", type text}}, "en-US")[Custom.Index]), "Custom.Index", "Custom.Invoice", List.Sum)
in
    #"Pivoted Column"

Thanks Sandy. Thought about the Added Prefix step after I posted, but was to lazy to go back and amend it. Nice addition. :)
