Please help clean up my convoluted VBA code. It seems very redundant and repetitive.

This is some (poor) vba code I wrote in order to take multirow information and unpivot it for a table that will be used elsewhere. I know unpivoting can be done in power pivot or even just in excel, but in my situation, having a macro run this code would be a whole hell of a lot easier. Thank you for any help!

VBA Code:
Sub macTargetStageMacro()
'
' Takes the values, B5:M11, and transposes them onto the Target Staging table
' Then, takes X5:Y88, copies, and pastes to P5
' Then, takes the Market in B2, copies, and pastes to the entire Market column in the stage table

' First, establishes the proper worksheet, Target Staging

    Sheets("Target Staging").Select
    
' Next, takes the information held in the data table and paste/transposes it to S+12

    Range("B5:M5").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Range("tblTargetStaging[Value]").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
        False, Transpose:=True
    
' Selects the Program/Modality from column A, copies, and pastes it in the "Program Modality" column, next to the data that was just pasted
    
    Range("A5").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Range("R5:R16").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
    
    Range("B6:M6").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Range("S17").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
        False, Transpose:=True
    Range("A6").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Range("R17:R28").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
    
    Range("B7:M7").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Range("S29").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
        False, Transpose:=True
    Range("A7").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Range("R29:R40").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
    
    Range("B8:M8").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Range("S41").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
        False, Transpose:=True
    Range("A8").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Range("R41:R52").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
    
    Range("B9:M9").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Range("S53").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
        False, Transpose:=True
    Range("A9").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Range("R53:R64").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
    
    Range("B10:M10").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Range("S65").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
        False, Transpose:=True
    Range("A10").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Range("R65:R76").Select

    Selection.Copy
    Range("R77:R88").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False

' Next, takes the Periods and Dates to the right of the table, copies, and pastes them into the Target Stage table
    
    Range("X5").Select
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
    Selection.Copy
    Range("P5").Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    
' Finally, takes the Market from B2 and pastes it entirely through column O
    
    Range("B2").Select

    Selection.Copy

    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
    Range("A1").Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    
' I might need to test this out
    
'    ContinueToAppendToTargetTable = MsgBox("Continue Appending the Target Table?", 1, "Continue to Append")
'        If ContinueToAppendToTargetTable = vbOK Then

' Append to the Target table
    
    Sheets("Target Staging").Select
    Range("tblTargetStaging").Copy
    Sheets("Target (Budget) Data").Select
    Range("A1").Select
    Selection.End(xlDown).Select
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    Sheets("Target Staging").Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    
'        ElseIf ContinueToAppendToTargetTable = vbCancel Then
'    End If

'Clear the staging table

    Range("O5").Select
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
    Selection.ClearContents
    ActiveSheet.ListObjects("tblTargetStaging").Resize Range("$O$4:$S$5")
    Range("B5:M11").Select
    Selection.ClearContents
    Range("A1").Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
As an almost universal rule, it it not necessary to 'select' anything prior to operating on it.

Thus for example your first few lines can be reduced to:

VBA Code:
' Take information in Target Staging data table and transpose to S+12

    Sheets("Target Staging").Range("B5:M5").Copy
    Range("tblTargetStaging[Value]").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
        False, Transpose:=True
