Hallo!

My programming skills are non-existent, I wonder if anybody out there can help me? I have about 15000 lines of data that looks like this:

As you can see the first two columns are pretty much repeated over and over, the interesting column is the third one which I need to QC and it's proving a real pain. I thought they'd be easier to work with if they were arranged in columns, with two header rows, one with a single instance of the contents of column 1, the next similarly for column two and all subsequent rows containg the values. I suppose a simple loop to repeatedly select and transpose the repeating blocks of data would do it, but even that's beyond me.

Something like this:
1 1 1 etc. etc. 11 11 11
8 10 12 etc. etc. 22 23 24
91.12 2249.75 5.89 etc. etc. 1.75 1.81 0.80
91.12 2249.75 5.89 etc. etc. 1.75 1.81 0.83
91.12 2249.74 5.89 etc. etc. 1.74 1.82 0.82
91.11 2249.73 5.90 etc. etc. 1.75 1.83 0.84
and so forth, except of course it's diffcult to get the columns to play in this GUI. Grateful for any help.
