Combine Row and Column Data

[nannerb22]

Hello all,

I tried searching for a thread that addresses this question, but I was not able to locate one. I may not have worded my search correctly.

I receive a hospital's accounting trial balance that has hospital department numbers as row headers across the row 1 and account type numbers in column A. What I want to do is the following:

1. Combine each department number with each account type number.
2. Combine each department name with each account type name.
3. Pull the balance where the department number and account type number intersect.

See below for a visual example that is likely easier to understand.

What I receive:

		10	20	30	40
		Administration	Surgery	Laboratory	Radiology
6000	Salaries	200,000	150,000	100,000	75,000
7000	FICA Tax	25,000	15,000	10,000	7,500
8000	Benefits	10,000	5,000	0	2,000

<tbody>
</tbody>

The result I would like to get to:

Account Number	Account Name	Account Balance
10-6000	Administration - Salaries	200,000
10-7000	Administration - FICA Taxes	25,000
10-8000	Administration - Benefits	10,000
20-6000	Surgery - Salaries	150,000
20-7000	Surgery - FICA Tax	15,000
20-8000	Surgery - Benefits	5,000
30-6000	Laboratory - Salaries	100,000
30-7000	Laboratory - FICA Tax	10,000
30-8000	Laboratory - Benefits	0
40-6000	Radiology - Salaries	75,000
40-7000	Radiology - FICA Tax	7,500
40-8000	Radiology - Benefits	2,000

<tbody>

I'm trying to find the least time consuming way to get to the end result above. I would be open to solutions using formulas, VBA (very little experience, but will work with this if there is a solution using VBA), or Power Query.

OS: Windows 7
Excel : Excel 2010 with Power Query Addin installed

Thank you.

Try this for results on sheet2.
NB:- I have assumed that the first "Salary", "6000" start in "A3".

Ray = Range("C1").CurrentRegion
ReDim nray(1 To UBound(Ray, 1) * UBound(Ray, 2), 1 To 3)
nray(1, 1) = "Account Number": nray(1, 2) = "Account Name": nray(1, 3) = "Account Balance"
c = 1
[COLOR=navy]For[/COLOR] ac = 3 To UBound(Ray, 2)
   [COLOR=navy]For[/COLOR] n = 3 To UBound(Ray, 1)
        c = c + 1
        nray(c, 1) = Format(Ray(1, ac) & "_" & Ray(n, 1), "@")
        nray(c, 2) = Ray(2, ac) & "_" & Ray(n, 2)
        nray(c, 3) = Ray(n, ac)
