Hi

Really stuck with this one - wondering if anyone can help

I've got a data sheet that looks a little something like this:

1 2 3 4 5........31
Mary Q1. a e i m q......
Q2. b f j n r......
Q3. c g k o s.....
Q4. d h l p t......

1 2 3 4 5........31
John Q1. a e i m q......
Q2. b f j n r......
Q3. c g k o s.....
Q4. d h l p t......

1 2 3 4 5........31
Jack Q1. a e i m q......
Q2. b f j n r......
Q3. c g k o s.....
Q4. d h l p t......

etc etc etc

...and i am looking to move the data into a Pivot Table. Now, from what little i know of Pivot Tables, the data needs to be in this format

1 Q1 Mary a
1 Q2 Mary b
1 Q3 Mary c
1 Q4 Mary d
2 Q1 Mary e
2 Q2 Mary f
2 Q3 Mary g
2 Q4 Mary h
3 Q1 Mary i
3 Q2 Mary j
3 Q3 Mary k
3 Q4 Mary l.........
1 Q1 John a
1 Q2 John b
1 Q3 John c
1 Q4 John d
2 Q1 John e
2 Q2 John f
2 Q3 John g
2 Q4 John h
3 Q1 John i
3 Q2 John j
3 Q3 John k
3 Q4 John l

as i want the pivot table to produce a graph showing trend movement in each question by day.

Any idea how to (other than cut and paste) i can get the data from one format to the other?

Please and thank you!
 

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
