Can I use vlookup to do this?

I have a sheet like below:
aaa 1
bbb 2
bbb 3
ccc 4
ddd 5
ddd 6
ddd 7
Now I want to reorganize the table like below:
aaa 1
bbb 2,3
ccc 4
ddd 5,6,7
What should I do? Thanks a lot!

Try this UDF (User Defined function). From workbook launch VBE using Alt+F11.
From menu Insert a Module and paste the below function.Close and get back to
workbook and try the below formula.

Syntax:
=VLOOKUP_CONCAT(rngRange,strLookupValue,intColumn, strDelimiter)

rngRange is the Range
strLookupValue is the lookup string or cell reference
inColumn is the column to be concatenated
strDelimiter Optional . Default is space

Examples:
'1. To vlookup 'jacob' and concatenate all entries of 2nd column
=VLOOKUP_CONCAT(A1:B10,"jacob",2)

'2. with lookup value in cell C1
=VLOOKUP_CONCAT(A1:B10,C1,2)

'3. with delimiter as comma
=VLOOKUP_CONCAT(A1:B10,C1,2,",")

Function VLOOKUP_CONCAT(rngRange As Range, _
strLookupValue As String, intColumn As Integer, _
Optional strDelimiter As String = " ")
Dim lngRow As Long
For lngRow = 1 To rngRange.Rows.Count
If CStr(rngRange(lngRow, 1)) = strLookupValue Then _
VLOOKUP_CONCAT = VLOOKUP_CONCAT & strDelimiter & _
rngRange(lngRow, intColumn)
Next
VLOOKUP_CONCAT = Mid(VLOOKUP_CONCAT, 2)
End Function

Copy only the Function..

Function VLOOKUP_CONCAT(rngRange As Range, _
strLookupValue As String, intColumn As Integer, _
Optional strDelimiter As String = " ")
Dim lngRow As Long
For lngRow = 1 To rngRange.Rows.Count
If CStr(rngRange(lngRow, 1)) = strLookupValue Then _
VLOOKUP_CONCAT = VLOOKUP_CONCAT & strDelimiter & _
rngRange(lngRow, intColumn)
Next
VLOOKUP_CONCAT = Mid(VLOOKUP_CONCAT, 2)
End Function
