I was sent a spreadsheet, but reading the information is difficult in a horizontal format. It needs to be vertical. I need to be able to transpose it, but I need it to be in a two-column formation.

The information came to me like this:
PartQtyPartQtyPartQtyPartQty
Aisle 1Bananas
1​
Oranges
2​
Apples
9​
Raspberries
50​
Aisle 2Blueberries
16​
Mangos
7​
Potatoes
10​
Carrots
12​
Aisle 3Green beans
72​
Lima beans
100​
Onions
37​
Celery
9​




I need it to look like this:
Aisle 1
Bananas
1​
Oranges
2​
Apples
9​
Raspberries
50​
Aisle 2
Blueberries
16​
Mangos
7​

Carrots

Aisle 3
Green beans
72​
Lima beans
100​
Onions

I'm not having any luck with the Transpose function unless there's more to the formula.

How do I turn several two-column-bits of information in a horizontal format into a vertical two-column list?
 
We've upgraded to Office 365 now.
Thanks for that.

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
this is not VBA but Power Query which is part of your version but is called Get and Transform Data and found on the Data Tab
