partial Transpose

[pippop]

Hi all

I am trying to change this table to the next. I can sort of get there with pivot, but wonder if there is a simple method to keep the file flat?

Many thanks

Sheet4

Formula in C14 is =INDEX($C$3:$F$8,MATCH(1,INDEX(($B$3:$B$8=C$12)*($A$3:$A$8=$A14),0),0),MATCH($B14,$C$1:$F$1,0)) copied right and down till needed.

Would that work for you?

Thanks cyrilbrd

This looks very promising. Thanks for quick reply. It certainly does what I am looking for. I just need to work out a way for changing the Columns A and B (I have 91 age variables and 365 areas to deal with making over 33,000 rows)

I will report back soon.

Thanks again
