You can put this solution on YOUR website!
.

From the context,  the input data should be two-column table,

but I see only one column.

With such data presentation, the problem can not be solved,  and  NEITHER  question  "how"  NOR  "why"  can be answered.


If you are going to fix your data and to re-post to this forum,  then  PLEASE  do not post it to me personally.
