Retrieving and transposing time data in a separate worksheet

[Julkoh]

Hello!

Currently, I have a set of raw data that has a time-stamp for each question, each session and for each individual. For example:

Subject	Session	Question	Time
1	1a	1	08:59:22
2	1a	1	09:00:13
1	1a	2	09:01:58
2	1a	2	09:01:33
1	1b	1	08:33:24
2	1b	1	08:31:22

<tbody>
</tbody>

I would need to transpose and combine the data to the following format, in a separate worksheet; so with 1 glance, I can see the time stamp for each subject, with session number and question number grouped together (i.e. session 1a, question 1).

Subject	Session1a_Question1	Session1a_Question2	Session1b_Question1
1	08:59:22	09:01:58	08:33:24
2	09:00:13	09:01:33	08:31:22

<tbody>
</tbody>

I've tried various formulas, including using nested "index", but I just can't seem to get Excel to understand what I'm looking for. Pivot table can't seem to work as well, since I only wanted Excel to retrieve the timestamp, instead of summing them/averaging them. I am sure that all my formulas is wrong and since the amount of data that I have to deal with is extensive, and there is no way that I am going to do this manually. Any help will be very helpful!

Does it have to be a formula or will VBA suffice?

Are all the subjects just given a number, 1, 2, etc as you've suggested or are they text?
Are there only 2 Session types (1a and 1b) or more?
Are there only 2 Questions for each Session or more?

Hello Special-K99, thanks for replying. Either formula or VBA is acceptable.

As for the subjects, they are all numeric numbers.
For session types, there are way more, and it is a combination of alphabets and numbers (e.g. CR Week 1 01012018), and the combination differ for each session.
For the questions, the number of question varies per session. For instance, there can be 10 questions for the 1st session, and 28 questions for the 2nd sessions.

Thank you!

If the number of questions per session varies that means the width of the output could be quite considerable.

I'm afraid this is beyond my knowledge of VBA especially as the subject column is not sorted.

That's fine, Special-K99. Thanks for your help!
