Answer: See picture below.

Formula displaying item numbers (H2:H16):

=IF(ROW()-1>SUM(IF($F$1=$B$2:$B$16, IF(MATCH($B$2:$B$16&$C$2:$C$16, $B$2:$B$16&$C$2:$C$16, 0)<>ROW($B$2:$B$16)-1, 1, ""), "")), "", SMALL(IF($F$1=$B$2:$B$16, IF(MATCH($B$2:$B$16&$C$2:$C$16, $B$2:$B$16&$C$2:$C$16, 0)<>ROW()-1, ROW()-1, ""), ""), ROW()-1)) + Ctrl + Shift + Enter

Formula displaying categories (I2:I16):

=IF(ROW()-1>SUM(IF($F$1=$B$2:$B$16, IF(MATCH($B$2:$B$16&$C$2:$C$16, $B$2:$B$16&$C$2:$C$16, 0)<>ROW($B$2:$B$16)-1, 1, ""), "")), "", INDEX($B$2:$B$16, $H$2:$H$16)) + Ctrl + Shift + Enter

Formula displaying values (J2:J16):

=IF(ROW()-1>SUM(IF($F$1=$B$2:$B$16;IF(MATCH($B$2:$B$16&$C$2:$C$16;$B$2:$B$16&$C$2:$C$16;0)<>ROW($B$2:$B$16)-1;1;"");""));"";INDEX($C$2:$C$16;$H$2:$H$16)) + Ctrl + Shift + Enter
